I offer a range of services designed to support and empower you as you navigate your personal growth journey. Whether you’re looking to deepen your self-understanding, strengthen your resilience, or cultivate self-love, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My services include: Coaching Programs: Tailored programs that focus on different areas of personal development, helping you uncover where you might feel stuck, take accountability, and create lasting, meaningful change. Individual Coaching Sessions: One-on-one sessions that are all about you—your needs, your goals, and your journey. These personalized sessions provide guidance, support, and validation as you move forward. Mental Fitness Classes: Group classes that build mental strength and resilience through practical exercises, fostering self-care and self-acceptance in a small community setting. Each service is designed with compassion and commitment to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered to embrace your most authentic self.

I bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to helping women build resilience, confidence, and self-love. I am a certified coach and mediator, with over a decade of experience at Stanford University. I have taught classes on communication, accountability, emotional intelligence, stress reduction, growth mindset, and leadership development, further enriching my understanding of the tools needed for personal growth and empowerment. I practice DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and am a trauma and PTSD survivor. My personal journey and ongoing practice have given me invaluable insights and empathy, which I use to help others navigate their own paths. My training includes methodologies that focus on mindset, confidence building, and relationship development. My coaching style blends practical strategies, emotional insight, and personal connection. I share my experiences and actively engage with my clients, providing mentorship, understanding, and validation as we work through exercises and practices together. I am dedicated to walking alongside each client, ensuring they feel supported and empowered to move forward on their journey.

Individual sessions will typically last one hour, sometimes 90 minutes. During your session, I’ll ask you questions to promote insight about your goals, interests, and what’s on your mind. We’ll dig deep; your experience is too important to sidestep. When we discover pieces of you that need to be explored, we’ll do it together. I’ll share similar experiences, what I’ve learned and what I’ve done specifically to boost my sense of self worth. We’ll identify tools and practices that can help you feel more positively about yourself, then build a plan to start building habits and practice. I’ll likely invite you to write things down, try out tools, and practice.

I offer a unique blend of practical strategies and emotional insight. While therapy often focuses on past experiences to understand and heal, my approach incorporates addressing past hurts, processing emotions, and identifying narratives that may compromise your sense of self-worth and self-love. I share my personal experiences, providing mentorship, understanding, and validation as I guide you through the journey. I work alongside you, engaging in the exercises and practices myself, creating an authentic and supportive environment that empowers you to move forward and create lasting, positive change in your life.

While our coaching programs focus on personal growth and skill-building, they are not intended to replace therapy or medical treatment. If you’re dealing with significant mental health concerns, we encourage you to seek guidance from a licensed therapist or counselor. Our services complement these services by providing practical tools and support to help you move forward with confidence and resilience.

To get the most out of your experience, I ask that you: Be accountable: Take responsibility for your growth and the effort you put into the process. Do the work: Commit to the exercises, practices, and strategies we discuss. Communicate: Keep an open line of communication with me about your progress, challenges, and needs. Advocate for yourself: Prioritize your well-being and speak up for what you need to support your growth. Be vulnerable: Embrace honesty and openness, even when it feels challenging, to foster real change. Be respectful: Treat yourself and our relationship with respect, creating an environment where we can both thrive. These expectations help create a supportive and effective relationship, empowering you to move forward with confidence.

No, you do not need to sign an agreement to work with me. While I prioritize clarity and open communication in all my relationships, I believe that mutual trust and respect are the foundation of our work together. If we decide to collaborate, I’ll ensure that all expectations and boundaries are clear, making sure you feel comfortable and confident as we move forward.

Absolutely not. All sessions and events at Into the Woods will be kept confidential, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings privately. Your story is yours to tell. Please keep that same confidentiality in mind when sharing your experience at our events. We encourage you to share your thoughts and feelings, yet not that of others.

We are located in north Franklin on 7 acres of private woods. For individual sessions, there is a dedicated, private spot just for you. When we hold larger events, we will coordinate parking and complimentary shuttle service as needed.

A pen you like to write with and a notebook or journal are essential. We are all accountable for our stories, which means writing down what we learn and planning how we’ll use it.
