My Journey & Mission

Whose life are you actually living?

For 30 years, I lived a life that looked successful to the outside world. I built a career in finance and non-profits, managing complex organizational systems while my own internal system was quietly breaking. On the surface, I was the picture of achievement; underneath, I was trapped in a "broken belief system," living by a set of "shoulds" and rules that weren't actually mine.

The Descent and the Turning Point

Those invisible patterns eventually manifested in my personal life in devastating ways. I navigated the trauma of an abusive marriage and used substances just to find the courage to be free. That freedom turned into a four-year run that led me to lose everything—and everyone. Even after finding a 12-step program, I realized that true healing wouldn't happen until I was willing to be honest with myself about the core beliefs driving my behavior.

My turning point came at my second rock bottom, when I finally stopped hitting my head against the same wall. I realized that my behaviors weren't who I was—they were survival strategies I had learned to stay safe.

From Victim to Architect

Today, I use my 30 years of experience in structural finance to help people redesign a much more important system: the soul. I’ve transitioned from being a victim of my patterns to becoming the Architect of my own reality.

At ANew Life Coach, I guide my clients through a delicate process of uncovering their authentic selves. We don't just "fix" problems; we conduct a deep audit of the "external software" running your life to distinguish the Pattern from the Person.

My Mission

My goal is to help you move past the guilt, perfectionism, and fear of rejection that keep you stuck. Using tools like Cognitive Defusion, Body Intelligence, and Values Clarification, we work together to replace draining external motivations with energizing internal growth.

You are the observer of your thoughts, not the thoughts themselves. Let’s start building your ANew life today.
