About Jessica

The “shoulds” never quite fit.

I know what it feels like to live under expectations, rules, and roles that belong to someone else. Finding my way out of them is how I came to this work.

My story

Each chapter taught me how easy it is to lose yourself.

I’ve spent years moving through different paths: artist, corporate professional, student of psychology, mother, licensed associate counselor, and now coach. Every one of them showed me how quickly you can disappear into who others think you should be.

My turning point came after divorce and big life changes, when I finally asked: what do I want? The answer led me to combine my background in psychology, my life experience, and my spiritual practice into work that helps others find freedom, clarity, and authenticity.

Each transformation journey is unique and honorable. Yours will look nothing like mine, and that is exactly the point.

How I work

As a Licensed Associate Counselor and ICF-certified coach, I bring both clinical training and a forward-focused, creative approach.

“Coaching isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about discovering who you are, creating new patterns, and building a life that feels real and alive.”
