Personal

For years, I believed something was wrong with me.

After overcoming meth addiction, I rebuilt my life from the ground up. I earned my college degree, became a meditation teacher, built a successful business, and eventually stepped away from the recovery community that had once saved my life because I knew I had outgrown it. Yet despite all of that growth, I couldn't figure out why relationships still felt so hard.

Most of the relationships I chose weren't toxic —they just weren't deeply fulfilling. I settled because I didn't trust myself to ask for more. Then I found myself in one relationship that was destructive, and it forced me to face patterns I could no longer ignore. I questioned whether I was even capable of a healthy relationship. I couldn't tell if I loved someone or if I was simply afraid to leave. I'd come and go from relationships, wondering if everyone was right when they said I had a commitment problem. But the truth was, my emotional reactions to conflict and uncertainty felt much bigger than the situations themselves, and I didn't understand why.

The answers didn't come overnight. They unfolded slowly through meditation, nervous system healing, attachment work, and the courage to look inward. I realized I wasn't broken, and I didn't have a commitment problem. I had a self-abandonment problem. I had spent years disconnecting from my intuition, my needs, and my own truth.

Today, I help women stop wondering what's wrong with them and start rebuilding the relationship that matters most—the one they have with themselves. Because when you learn to trust yourself again, you stop settling, stop second-guessing your worth, and start creating a life and relationships that feel deeply aligned.

I'm also a proud parent to an incredibly talented tattoo artist who brings immense joy to my life. Outside of work, you'll find me in the river or on a mountaintop. I live in beautiful Bend, OR nestled between the lush forests of the cascade range and the high desert.
