I became a stress management coach because I have been where you are. Not in a vague, inspirational-poster kind of way. In the *so depleted that it made me question everything* kind of way. The kind where you are successful on paper but unfulfilled in your true purpose. Where you know something has to change but cannot figure out what, or where you would find the energy to change it.
I spent years as a corporate professional, artist, community activist, and caregiver juggling creativity, passion, and family with the practical demands of paying the bills. I got so good at pushing through, at performing competence even when I was running on empty. That skill served me until it did not. Burnout does not announce itself. It accumulates. By the time I recognized what was happening, I had already lost track of who I was outside of what I could produce.
Coaching helped me find my way back. Not by adding more to my plate, but by helping me see clearly, prioritize unapologetically, and build a life I could actually sustain. The process was practical, not mystical. Concrete tools, not abstract philosophy. That approach made all the difference.
I knew I wanted to offer the same thing to others. So, I pursued formal training, completed a rigorous certification program, and am now working toward ICF accreditation. I chose the certification route because education matters, and you deserve a coach committed to learning how to serve you.
I built this practice for the people who have been underserved by generic coaching and overlooked by a wellness industry that was not designed with them in mind. Female professionals carrying invisible weight. Queer folx tired of code-switching and compartmentalizing. Those giving everything to systems that give little back. These are my people. I am a proud member of the Memphis LGBTQ+ community, and I know what it means to navigate spaces that were not built for you.
I have been an active member of the Memphis community for most of my life. I enjoy a beautiful Midtown life with my wonderful wife Kelly and our four-legged family. This city shaped my voice: kind and direct, honest without being harsh. I do not waste your time, and I do not pretend the hard things are not hard. If you are exhausted but still pushing, successful outwardly but depleted in reality, I understand. I am here for you.
