Sharing The Heart Behind My Coaching
I believe the relationship you have with your coach matters. Recovery can be incredibly vulnerable, and you deserve to work with someone you feel comfortable being honest with, even when things feel messy, confusing, or hard to talk about.
When you work with me, you can expect a space that is warm, genuine, professional, collaborative, and free of judgment. I’ll meet you where you are while also being honest with you, challenging the eating disorder when needed, and encouraging you to keep moving toward the life and recovery you want. I’m not here to tell you what to do, nor do I believe that’s what’s most helpful in your recovery. Instead, I’m here to stand beside you as you rebuild your life and reconnect with what feels meaningful to you. I want to support you every step of the way, and to remind you of your value, resilience, courage, power, and importance, even in the moments when you can’t fully see them yourself. I’m here to celebrate your successes, sit with you through the struggles, and be a steady, listening presence when things feel overwhelming. I want to help you strengthen your own voice, recognize what you’re capable of, and build confidence in making recovery-aligned choices for yourself.
My coaching is also practical and individualized. We can take what you're learning in therapy, nutrition work, or treatment and figure out how to actually apply it to everyday life. That might mean setting goals together, working through a difficult moment in real time, practicing a new skill, preparing for an upcoming situation, celebrating progress, or simply having someone in your corner who understands why something that may seem small can actually feel really big.
My own lived experience with recovery deeply influences the way I show up as a coach. I understand how complicated recovery can be, but I also know how much can exist on the other side of it. I bring that perspective alongside my professional training to offer support that feels relatable, intentional, and grounded in hope.
Above all, I want our work together to feel like a partnership. I’ll bring support, honesty, encouragement, creativity, and accountability to the table, while always respecting that this is your recovery and your journey. My goal is to help you build the skills and trust in yourself that you can carry with you long after coaching ends.
A little bit about me. Creativity has always been a huge part of who I am. I love finding new ways to create, whether that’s through photography, baking, art, or whatever new project I’ve decided to take on that day. I’m naturally curious, love trying new things, and have always been drawn to work and experiences that allow me to connect with people in a meaningful way.
Outside of coaching, I’m a Dallas girl through and through and feel really lucky to have much of my family close by. I love spending time with my family and friends, exploring around Dallas, finding a good thrift store, and, of course, spending plenty of time with my two dogs, Cookie and Penny.
I think a lot of what I value in my own life shapes the way I approach my work, too. Connection, creativity, humor, curiosity, and empowerment all matter to me. My own recovery has taught me just how meaningful it is to have a life filled with people you love, things that excite you, and the freedom to keep growing into who you are.
I’m so glad you’re here!
A Little Bit More About Me
My journey into recovery coaching grew from both my personal and professional experiences. In my young adulthood, I faced my own challenges with food and body image, which shaped how I view healing today. Over time, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t about erasing the past. Recovery is about building a stronger, more peaceful relationship with yourself and reclaiming the life you want to live. That perspective allows me to support others with empathy, understanding, and hope for what’s possible.
Professionally, I have a degree in both Psychology and Education, and I have spent 3 years working with individuals through mentoring and public speaking. I am currently practicing as a fully certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach from the Carolyn Costin Institute, supporting clients in person in Dallas, Texas, and virtually across the country. My training with CCI equips me to combine practical tools with lived understanding, creating a coaching approach that is both compassionate and actionable.
