“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

More About Me…
My Story:
I have faced profound loss in my life. My mother and brother passed away when I was young, and with them, I lost my childhood. I stepped into a caregiving role long before most people even think about life’s responsibilities. Over the years, my life has crumbled and rebuilt itself more than once, and each time, I learned how to gather strength from the hardest of places.
These experiences shaped me, taught me resilience in the deepest sense, and gave me the courage to make hard decisions with purpose. While my years in the hospital taught me about the effects of chronic disease, it was my personal journey—overcoming loss, rebuilding, and finding purpose—that prepared me to guide others through their own life transitions.
I know what it is like to stand at a crossroads, staring down an uncertain future. That is why I am passionate about helping others create a life and health trajectory that aligns with their deepest values.
If the changes you want to make feel big and scary - I have been in those shoes more than once and know you have the strength within you to take the leap!
Most people know what they should do to improve their health—but struggle to make it happen. I specialize in bridging the gap between medical recommendations and real-life implementation, helping patients develop sustainable habits to support cardiometabolic health, longevity, and overall well-being. It is a blend of emotional and clinical support that helps you overcome barriers and stay consistent.
I partner with clinics, healthcare providers, and wellness organizations to improve patient adherence, engagement, and long-term health outcomes.
My work focuses on:
✔ Helping patients translate medical advice into actionable, long-term habits
✔ Improving cardiometabolic and cognitive health through behavior change strategies
✔ Supporting healthcare teams by reducing provider burden and enhancing patient follow-through
