About Me

I know what it’s like to feel stuck between love and fear.
To second-guess every decision.
The shame, the guilt, the not knowing what to do.

When my son was struggling with substance use, all I ever heard was “tough love,” “detach,” and “they need to hit rock bottom.”
I tried it all.

But none of it felt right.
It only made things worse and no one was talking about what it’s really like to be a parent in this kind of pain.

That’s why I created Beyond the Chaos—to offer the kind of support I wish I’d had:
Evidence-based tools, grounded guidance, and a compassionate space to breathe, reflect, and find your way forward.

It’s a place where you can begin to understand what’s driving your child’s behavior, learn how to respond in ways that actually help, and reconnect with your own well-being along the way.

My lived experience brings deep empathy, kindness, and genuine understanding.
Paired with my professional training as a certified health, mental health, and family recovery coach—and a commitment to the most up-to-date, evidence-based tools—I’m here to help you reclaim your well-being while continuing to support your child.
