I am an award-winning artist, published illustrator,  life coach, and passionate advocate for survivors, using my voice and art to inspire hope, healing, resilience, and empowerment!  As a domestic violence survivor, I transformed my pain into purpose, using art and storytelling to help others reclaim their voice. I am crowned with creativity, making it my passion to guide individuals toward healing, self-expression, and personal growth through creativity based coaching.

​

As an artist, teacher, and coach, I have been gifted with the ability to understand and verbalize the process of healing through creativity. The act of creating for creation’s sake is a proven therapy—a path to healing and wholeness. My journey spans a 24-year teaching career and an 8-year tenure as a small business/gallery owner, where I showcased my own works and continued to inspire others with hope, spirit, and resilience.

Through my work with Willow Tree, I guide others in reclaiming their voice, allowing them to embrace healing, and step into their power! Whether through coaching, workshops, or speaking engagements, I am here to support you on your journey.
