IF YOU’RE READING THIS →
You may be carrying something that feels almost too heavy to name: not just the grief of a marriage ending, but the shame of it. The quiet fear that people are judging you. The exhaustion of holding yourself together in public while falling apart in private. The loneliness of going through something enormous while the rest of the world keeps moving.
I want you to know something: there is nothing wrong with you.
Divorce is one of the most disorienting experiences a woman can go through - and so many of us go through it in silence, convinced we’re the only ones struggling, convinced our best years are behind us.
They’re not. I promise they’re not. And I’m not saying that as a coach with a program to sell. I’m saying as a woman who has lived it.
A joyful and fulfilling life awaits on the other side. I know - because I’ve found it. And I’ve spent every year since helping other women find it too.
MY STORY
My marriage of twenty-one years ended in divorce, and I never saw it coming.
Like so many of the women I now work with, I felt completely lost. I didn’t know who I was without the identity of being a wife. I was afraid of what people would think, of what my future would look like, of how my children might be impacted. I was afraid of being alone. I played small. I hesitated to date, hesitated to make any big decisions, hesitated to even imagine what my life could become.
When I was going through it, I had only a handful of friends who had been through divorce themselves. They were everything to me - not because they had all the answers, but because they understood. They didn’t flinch when I told them how I was really feeling. They held space for both my pain and my possibility.
That experience planted a seed. I knew that one day, I wanted to be that person for other women. The friend who gets it. The guide who has been there. The voice that says: you are going to be okay, and more than okay.
HOW I GOT HERE
MY PATH TO THIS WORK WASN’T A STRAIGHT LINE - but looking back, every step was preparing me for exactly this.
I began my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist, earning my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. I loved the depth of that work - helping women process their emotions, heal from loss, and rebuild their sense of self.
When my children left for college, I returned to the workforce in a different capacity: as an Investment Advisor. I thought I’d be helping women plan for retirement. And I did - but something unexpected kept happening. So many of my clients were going through divorce. They came to me for financial guidance, and yes, we talked about portfolios and planning. But what they really needed was so much more than that.
They needed someone who could hold space for the emotional overwhelm of starting over. Someone who could help them feel at ease with their finances - not just understand them intellectually, but stop dreading them. Someone who understood both the practical challenges and the profound identity shift of rebuilding a life from the inside out.
I found myself reaching for my therapy and coaching skills far more than my investment expertise. And I realized: this is where I’m meant to be. This is the work that matters most.
I became a Certified Life Coach and a Certified Integrative Nutritionist, and I built Healing Forward - a program designed to give women exactly what I wished I had when I was going through my own divorce. And I designed a practice around the one thing I’m most passionate about: helping women heal from divorce and create lives they genuinely love.
THE EXPERTISE I BRING TO OUR WORK TOGETHER
Therapeutic Training
1
As a former Marriage and Family Therapist, I have the expertise to help you process emotions - grief, regret, fear, shame - with real skill and care. We don’t skip over the hard stuff. We work through it.
Life Coaching Expertise
2
Healing is only half the journey. I also help you get clear on what you actually want your life to look life - and then we create an actionable plan to get you there. This isn’t just about recovering from past. It’s about intentionally designing your future. And as a Certified Life Coach, I’m trained to help clients move from where they are to where they want to be.
The Body as Part of the Healing
3
Healing shows up in the body as much as the mind — and as a Certified Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach, I pay attention to both. Divorce is exhausting in ways that go beyond the emotional. When we're undernourished, sleep-deprived, or physically stagnant, everything feels harder — the grief is heavier, the fear louder, the way forward less clear. I care about what my clients eat, how they're sleeping, and whether they're moving their bodies — not because of how they look, but because how we nourish ourselves is one of the most powerful forms of self-care there is. A well-rested, well-nourished woman heals faster, thinks more clearly, and steps into her new life with so much more energy and confidence.
Financial Fluency
4
As a former Investment Advisor, I understand the financial anxiety that accompanies divorce - even for accomplished successful women. Even for women with ample resources. I help my clients move from avoidance and worry to genuine ease and confidence with their money.
Going through a divorce is challenging. But you don’t have to go through it alone.
I understand the emotional roller coaster that accompanies divorce. I know what it’s like to “stay strong” for the sake of children, to experience the worry and anxiety of what the future might hold and to feel very much alone in the process.
But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to feel hard forever.
Healing Forward was created to provide a structured, clear path forward - one that honors your past while building your ideal future.
And because I lived through divorce myself, I want you to know how thankful I am to have a life now that surpasses anything I could have imagined when I was sitting in the middle of my own divorce.
I know what it’s like to rebuild. And I know from the other side how beautiful life can become.
