Re‑author Your Story - Live Forward with Intention
You carried a decision that shaped your life. That experience can leave a quiet ache even after you’ve done the work to move forward. You have sought support, and still sense something is missing.
I offer coaching that focuses on clarity, self-compassion, and practical steps to reclaim identity and joy.

You’ve done the hard work in therapy. Now you want to live a life that honors both your choices and your future.

I use the SURF method (Say Goodbye, Understand, Refine or Reframe, and Follow-through) to help you align your life.
S - Say Goodbye
We start by saying goodbye to the secrecy that keeps you small.
Saying goodbye doesn’t mean forgetting; it means making room to feel, understand, and reframe so you can take the next steps to being/feeling whole.
U - Understand
Understand the story(ies) you were given — how judgment, coercion, or circumstance shaped your choices and your self‑story.
We look at the beliefs you’ve carried and separate what’s true from what was handed to you.
This clarity makes shame less convincing.
Refine and Reframe
Learn practical tools to shift how you talk to yourself, to reclaim parts of your identity that were set aside, and to make small, steady choices that build confidence.
Follow Through
With follow through you receive gentle accountability and real steps so your journey to wholeness becomes a part of you.
Let's Talk!
