My Story
Black Heart Art Coaching grew from my belief that resilience isn't about pretending the hard chapters never happened. It's about deciding what comes next.
My path has included military service, law enforcement, court and legal environments, education, creativity, and wellness coaching. Each chapter taught me something about change, identity, resilience, and the importance of having practical tools when life doesn't go according to plan.
I created Black Heart Art Coaching to bring those experiences together through non-clinical wellness coaching, where creativity, strengths, goal setting, accountability, and forward movement help people define and build their next chapter.
The Creative Path
Creativity can give us another way to think, reflect, and move forward when words alone don’t always capture what we’re trying to express. At Black Heart Art Coaching, we can incorporate creative activities into wellness coaching to support reflection, stress management, resilience, goal setting, and personal growth.
You don't need to consider yourself an artist. The focus isn't on artistic ability or creating something perfect. It's about using creativity as one more tool for exploring what matters to you, recognizing your strengths, and deciding what you want your next chapter to look like.
What I Bring to This Work
Service & Leadership
Professional Experience
Military and law-enforcement experience shaped my understanding of service, responsibility, high-stress environments, and major identity transitions.
Years working in court, legal, administrative, and client-service environments bring a practical, organized approach to my coaching.
Education & Coaching
Lived Perspective
My foundation in criminal justice, continued studies in psychology and wellness coaching, and ongoing professional development inform my approach.
I understand that rebuilding after major life changes can require creativity, patience, accountability, and the willingness to define a new direction.
