You don't have to do this alone !

Your world changed the moment your doctor shared the words “autoimmune condition.”
The questions, the fears, and the uncertainty can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to carry it alone.
I’m here to guide you through the mental and emotional side of your journey, so you can find stability, strength, and purpose again.
I guide individuals navigating life with an autoimmune diagnosis to manage the emotional and mental challenges that often come with it. Together, we focus on creating balance, building resilience, and strengthening your mindset so you can feel more in control of your life and your next steps.
My approach bridges the gap between medical treatment and emotional wellbeing, helping you reconnect with your sense of purpose and peace.


After a diagnosis, most people are handed prescriptions, treatment plans, and medical advice but no one stops to ask, “How are you really doing?”
Many doctors simply don’t have the time or resources to support patients emotionally. And yet, that’s exactly what so many people crave the chance to talk, to process, and to be understood.
I understand that sense of loss, confusion, and frustration. The days that blur together between appointments, or when you feel like no one around you “gets it.”
That’s where I come in to help you navigate the emotional side of this life change with empathy, structure, and support.

That journey taught me that strength isn’t about pushing through it’s about showing up for yourself in new ways.
It’s learning to listen to your body, honor your emotions, and take back the pen to rewrite your story.
Now, I help clients find their footing and rediscover their spark.
I work with individuals one-on-one to:
Regain emotional balance and stability
Build supportive habits and routines
Work through fear, frustration, and self-doubt
See life beyond the diagnosis with renewed confidence
My mission is simple: To remind you that you are not your diagnosis, you are your resilience.


When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me embracing the life I once thought I’d lost.
I love hiking through the Pocono Mountains, feeling the breeze on my face, and being reminded of how far I’ve come. My favorite moments, though, are spent dancing and laughing with my granddaughters who’ve gone from watching me struggle to move comfortably to cheering me on as “Gamma who never sits still.”
Life with an autoimmune condition doesn’t mean you have to stop showing up for the things you love.
It’s about rewriting the rules finding new ways to do what makes you feel alive, even if it looks different than before. I believe in living fully, celebrating every small victory, and finding joy in ordinary moments.
Whether it’s trying a new recipe, traveling, or simply sitting outside with a good cup of coffee, I remind myself daily: my diagnosis doesn’t define me, my resilience does.

New Year’s Eve has a certain weight to it.
There’s an unspoken expectation that by now we should know what we’re leaving behind and what we’re charging toward. Goals should be set. Lessons should be wrapped up neatly. Hope should feel clear and energizing.
But for many of us, especially those living with chronic illness or an unpredictable body, the end of the year doesn’t arrive with fireworks. It arrives quietly. Sometimes tired. Sometimes reflective. Sometimes still holding questions that don’t have answers yet.
And that’s okay.
This year asked a lot.
It asked for adaptation.
For boundaries.
For learning when to stop instead of pushing through.
For listening more closely to a body that doesn’t negotiate with hustle.
If you’re honest, there were probably moments when you felt behind. Moments when you wondered why living well seemed to require so much effort. Moments when the pressure to keep up felt louder than your own inner wisdom.
But here’s the truth that deserves space tonight.
You don’t need to rush into a new version of yourself at midnight.
You don’t need to turn pain into purpose on a deadline.
You don’t need to package your struggles into something inspirational before you’re ready.
You don’t need a resolution to justify rest.
What if closing this year wasn’t about fixing anything?
What if it was about releasing the urgency that never served you in the first place?
So many of us have been taught that forward movement has to be forceful. That growth requires discomfort at all costs. That slowing down means falling behind. But living in a body that requires care teaches a different truth.
Sustainable life happens in rhythm.
Rhythm honors energy.
Rhythm respects seasons.
Rhythm allows ebb and flow without shame.
As this year comes to an end, I’m not asking you to make promises to do more. I’m inviting you to notice what you’re ready to lay down.
The pressure to hustle through pain.
The belief that rest must be earned.
The idea that your worth is tied to productivity.
Tonight, let yourself close the year gently.
Carry forward what grounded you.
Release what depleted you.
Trust that clarity doesn’t always arrive with noise.
As I look toward 2026, I’m naming it clearly and intentionally: The Year of Restoration and Rhythm.
Not as a resolution.
Not as a demand.
But as a way of living.
If that speaks to something in you, let it. There’s no rush to define it all tonight.
If you’d like to continue this conversation as we step into the new year, I’d love to walk with you.
You can follow my free Facebook page where I share weekly reflections, lives, and honest conversations about navigating life with autoimmune disease, boundaries, and building a rhythm that actually supports you.

However you welcome the new year, know this: you are not behind. You are listening. And that is a powerful place to begin.
One step.
One flare.
One breath at a time.
My own diagnosis taught me how isolating and confusing this journey can be. I realized that while medical care treats the body, very few people talk about the emotional toll. That realization inspired me to create the kind of support I wish I had in those early days.
I focus on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. My coaching blends mindset work, emotional support, and everyday life tools to help you feel like yourself again—strong, grounded, and capable of joy.
If you often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck after your diagnosis, coaching can help. You don’t have to have everything figured out—just a willingness to take small, steady steps toward feeling better emotionally and mentally.
You are not your diagnosis. You are resilient, capable, and deserving of a life filled with joy and purpose. My role is to remind you of that truth and walk beside you as you rediscover your strength.
