I Know What It Feels Like to Look in the Mirror and Not Recognize Yourself
I know what it’s like to burn the candle at every end—successful on the outside, secretly unraveling on the inside.
To hold it all together with polish and perfection, while all you want is to cry, eat chocolate, and run away to a deserted island with your dog.
I know what it’s like to lie awake at night with dreams that never had room to breathe, to carry regrets heavy as stones, and to wonder how you’ll keep going when the life you’ve built no longer feels like yours.
I know the loneliness of feeling unseen even in the closest relationships. The exhaustion of being useful, competent, reliable—yet disconnected from your own wild, beautiful essence.
And I know the profound relief of finally coming home to yourself—unapologetic, unmasked, alive.
My Story
For decades, I was the woman who checked every box. I built two successful behavioral health companies from the ground up. I expanded into other ventures. I led with drive, competence, and grit.
But underneath it all, I was burned out, overwhelmed, and lost to myself. Until one evening—sandwich for dinner, too tired to cook—I stumbled across an article about toxic relationships. In that moment I realized: I was in the most toxic relationship of all. With myself.
That realization burned my life down. Near 51, I walked away from everything I had built. For two years, I sat in the quiet. And slowly, I found her again—the woman I’d buried beneath success and survival.
Now, I help other women in midlife do the same.
My Work
I’m a psychotherapist, somatic depth coach, and consultant with over 25 years of experience guiding women through what I call The Sacred Return—the shift from performing who you think you should be, to embodying who you truly are.
Through my proprietary SOMA Code™, I weave Jungian depth psychology, somatic therapy, and expressive arts to help you:
Belong again to yourself and your life
Become the woman your soul has been whispering about all along
Be at peace in your own skin—joyful, whole, and fully alive
I also bring this work into organizations, helping leaders and companies repair trust, restore resilience, and rebuild cultures strained by burnout or change.
And I provided clinical trainings to mental health professionals who want to integrate applied somatic depth approaches into their practice.
The Sacred Return
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a crossroads.
A chance to shed what no longer fits and to reclaim the wild, radiant, authentic woman you’ve always been.
She’s been with you all along.
I’m here to help you remember her.
“A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion, burns away what is no longer relevant, gradually reveals our essence, until, at last, we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth.”
