For over 17 years, I've been passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful change. Through Root & Rise Wellness, I provide coaching and creative wellness experiences that encourage self-expression, reflection, and personal growth.

I believe that each person already holds the wisdom and strength they need to move forward. My role is to create a supportive space where you can gain clarity, explore new perspectives, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether through conversation, creativity, or intentional reflection, my goal is to help you cultivate a life that feels authentic, balanced, and aligned with your values.

And perhaps the most important lesson of all came from the smallest teacher in my life — my curious, wild, wonderfully inquisitive child.

He reminded me that the work will always be there. But he will not always be this small. So I put the laptop down. I get on the floor. I follow his lead into whatever world he has invented that afternoon. Not because I have nothing left to do — but because being present with him is the most important thing I will do all day.

I want him to grow up watching a woman who worked hard and knew when to stop. Who felt deeply and chose her responses with intention. Who loved her son enough to be there — not just nearby.
