A Little About Me
I'm a mom, a former middle school teacher, a certified positive psychology coach, and a woman who spent a long time carrying more than she should. I know what it feels like when life gets loud — when obligation, tension, and the constant pull of everyone else's needs crowd out everything that actually matters.
I wrote the book Optimizing Happiness during a season of deep searching — and somewhere in the writing, something shifted for me. That shift is what I now help other women find.

I don't believe you have everything you need inside you. I believe there's a lot in the way. My work is helping you remove it — carefully, honestly, and without rushing.
Release tension. Reduce inflammation. Feel strong.
Quiet the noise. Clarify your values. See clearly.
Align with what truly matters. Live from that place.

Written in three months during a season of deep personal searching, this book is the foundation of everything I teach. Six happiness habits that aren't about doing more — they're about removing what's in the way.
Secular in language, universal in scope. For any woman who is ready to ask what's actually underneath all the noise.
