You know, I didn’t become an ordained minister online through Universal Life just to add another title to my name. I did it because I wanted to meet people right where they are—with their faith, their doubts, their beliefs, and their pain. Life has a way of testing us, and I wanted to be someone who could speak to the living, not just about living—but about meaning, purpose, and the space in between.

As a Master Life Coach and minister, I talk a lot about that little dash between the day we’re born and the day we leave this world. That dash is everything—it’s our choices, our stories, our lessons, our love, our legacy. It’s what we do with that dash that defines us.

Too often, we only talk about death when it’s too late. But I believe the real conversation should be about how we live—how we forgive, how we heal, and how we show up for ourselves and each other. Changing the narrative around death means reminding people that life isn’t measured by how it ends, but by how deeply we’ve lived it.

Universal Life gave me a way to embrace people of all walks and beliefs. My purpose is to remind each person that their dash still has meaning—and that it’s never too late to live it on purpose.

What I hope to achieve is simple—but powerful. I want to awaken people to the truth that their lives still matter, no matter what season they’re in. I want to help them see that healing is possible, purpose is real, and that they are not defined by their past or their pain.

My goal is to create spaces where people feel safe enough to face themselves, strong enough to grow, and inspired enough to live fully in their dash. Whether I’m speaking, coaching, or simply listening, I want every person I encounter to walk away with a renewed sense of peace—and a reminder that they still have time to make their dash mean something.

If I can help someone find clarity in their chaos, faith in their uncertainty, and love in their loss, then I’ve done what I was called to do.

My Promise Every session, every conversation, every encounter is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and truth. I meet you where you are, without judgment—because transformation starts with being seen, heard, and understood. Let’s begin your journey to healing, purpose, and peace—because your dash deserves to be lived boldly.

Life Coping & Faith Coaching You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to start where you are. Through my work as an Ordained Minister and Master Life Coach, I help people rediscover their purpose, restore their peace, and rewrite their story in the dash between birth and legacy. Life Coping Skills for Work & Home When life feels heavy or uncertain, I teach practical strategies that restore clarity and calm. Together, we create tools for balance—whether it’s managing workplace pressure, navigating family conflict, or simply learning to breathe again. You’ll walk away with steps that make peace a daily practice, not just a moment. Self-Esteem & Self-Worth Renewal Sometimes we forget who we are. Through guided reflection, mindset work, and empowering exercises, I help you rebuild confidence from the inside out. You’ll learn to silence negative self-talk and embrace the truth that you are enough—right now, as you are. Stress & Emotional Resilience Coaching Stress doesn’t have to control your story. You’ll learn how to identify triggers, set boundaries, and restore your energy before burnout hits. My approach combines mindfulness, spiritual grounding, and real-life action steps that bring calm back to your chaos. Depression & Inner Healing Support This is a safe space for those who feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed. I provide compassionate guidance to help you move through emotional pain with grace and understanding. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been buried beneath the weight—and bring light where darkness once lived. Speaking to the Living My mission is to shift the conversation about life and death—helping people honor their stories and live with purpose in the dash in between. Whether I’m speaking to a small group or a global audience, my message is always the same: You still have time to live your purpose, and your story still matters.
