By all odds, I shouldn’t be here.
My life began with trauma stacked against me—adversities so severe that, according to the CDC’s Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, I should have ended up suicidal, addicted, medicated into numbness, or trapped in cycles of destruction. That’s what the data says. That’s what the statistics predict.
But I defied every single prediction.
At 27, a friend shared with me the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and it became the first real turning point in my journey to self. I stopped masking and self-medicating and began looking inward. Of course, life continued to test me—sometimes pulling me deeper into myself, and other times dragging me right back out. By 2012, I had gone through a traumatic divorce, bankruptcy and made the bold move to Las Vegas, where my story truly began to transform.
In 2017, I discovered the CDC’s ACE research and it helped re-framed my entire life with one radical realization: “These experiences didn’t happen to me — they happened for me.” That perspective unlocked a new path forward.
Since then, I’ve immersed myself in the study of neuroscience, trauma, and human behavior. I earned my NLP Certification in 2020 and continue to learn from some of the most influential voices in the field, including Gabor Maté, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Eckhart Tolle, Tony Robbins, and Mel Robbins.
Today, through Beyond Words Coaching, I work with people who are ready to do the work, make changes, take off their mask to their true authentic self. Together I guide them to uncover hidden patterns, rewire their brains, and align behavior with authentic truth. My approach combines trauma-informed insight with evidence-based strategies to help clients build resilience, heal what’s beneath the surface, and achieve measurable transformation in both life and career.
Because here’s the truth: your words may hide your story, but the patterns beneath them reveal everything.
My work is to help you see it, heal it, and rewire it.
