I’m a Christian coach for women in emotionally challenging marriages — and for those walking through separation and divorce.
I’ve walked this road myself: nearly twenty years in a difficult marriage, through divorce, and now more than a decade into a healthy remarriage.
I help women find peace, clarity, and strength through faith-based coaching, courses, books, and encouragement from my podcast — so they can live with integrity and hope, even in the hardest seasons.
You are not broken.
And this does not have to be the end of your story.
P.S. And if you're already separated or divorced, click above for all the resources I have created just for you.
