relationship coaching & navigating the chapters of life

Finding Extraordinary Puerpose in Every Chapter of Life

I believe that the true beauty of life is tucked away in our everyday moments. As we grow older, navigating changes in our marriages, family dynamics, health and personal identities can feel overwhelming. My passion as a coach is helping older adults reframe these daily experiences to uncover a realistic, practical, and deeply fulfilling sense of purpose.

Life’s most profound transformations don't require grand gestures; they happen right in the middle of our ordinary, day-to-day moments. As we enter navigate adulthood, our lives and relationships inevitably change. My passion is helping individuals and couples reframe these shifting dynamics into an extraordinary path toward meaning, keeping your growth realistic, practical, and deeply connected.

About Me

AboutMy path to coaching is built on a lifetime of care. Holding a PhD in nursing and maintaining my license as an RN in South Dakota, I’ve dedicated my professional career to healthcare as a clinician, researcher, and administrator. I understand firsthand the complex transitions older adults face—from health changes and retirement to re-centering your primary relationships and navigating evolving family roles.

When I’m not coaching, my own life is beautifully full and family-centered. I am a proud mom to three adult sons, mother-in-law to three amazing women, and "Grandma" to eight energetic grandsons between the ages of 2 years and 16 years. Rounding out my busy household are my three beloved dogs: two chocolate Labs and a Golden Doodle. I know how much love, effort, and patience it takes to keep a family close, and I am honored to help you cultivate deeper harmony and purpose in your own relationships.
