This is the place for stepmoms who are done feeling bitter, anxious, and powerless
Here’s what makes me different than every other expert out there:
I’m not only a trained therapist, I’m also a seasoned stepmom. I believe in centering the Stepmom experience. I believe stepmoms are heroes who should be celebrated.
I’m not your typical stepfamily expert.
I’m the ally you need because I believe that stepmoms deserve more than just survival – you deserve to thrive.
Because I know that what you deeply want is not just to get through the days, but to truly enjoy your life and see your blended family flourish.
The best part about working with my clients is witnessing those lightbulb moments when they realize they can be happy, confident, and relaxed stepmoms.
My proven framework makes this transformation possible. I never give you fluffy, generic advice and there is never any judgment. Just love, support, and actionable guidance based on my clinical training AND 13+ years as a stepmom
Basically? I’ll get you to the point where there’s a lightness in your step and a sparkle in your eyes again.
You'll radiate the kind of confidence that comes from truly owning who you are and what makes you so f*cking special.
I’m not just here to fix your blended family, I’m here to help you make your life better than you ever thought possible.
About 7 years ago, I was really struggling as a stepmom who didn’t feel supported or prioritized by her partner.
I had my hands full with 3 stepkids who came with a high-conflict bio mom.
I bent over backwards for my stepkids which only left me with feelings of DEEP resentment and disappointment because it didn’t seem to matter.
I worked so hard to create amazing memories and they STILL ran back to their mom and reported to her my every infraction (“Jamie said a bad word!” “Jamie drank a BEER!”) Then I would get backlash from her. To make matters worse, my husband at the time didn’t back me up when the kids were disrespectful. I felt so abandoned and misunderstood.
I thought “If I do enough,” or “If I AM enough, then maybe he will change or the kids will like me.”
LEGIT..those were my thoughts!
WANT THE REAL STORY?
I felt hopeless beyond belief and our marriage ultimately did not survive it.
I vowed to myself that if I ever fell in love again with a man who had kids, that I would do things completely differently. I didn’t know what that meant (yet), but I knew what I had tried before didn’t work.
Fast-forward to today and I can tell you that I did fall in love again and yes, he has children.
And yes, I did things completely differently.
And guess what? It worked.
I’m in the most supportive relationship of my life. I get along with my stepkids and our relationship is growing every day. I am UNAFFECTED by the inevitable babymama drama and I feel so.f*cking.powerful and happy.
All because of my big BREAKTHROUGH.
I decided I wasn’t ever going to feel like I felt in my marriage again and I invested in myself!
I was already a therapist, so I was no stranger to self-development work. I committed myself to applying my clinical skills to my own life. And I did. But I knew I needed more. Something more actionable, tangible, practical, some real tools.
I hired two different women’s empowerment coaches. I THREW myself into my GROWTH.
I learned tools and skills to separate other peoples actions from my worth. I learned how to set boundaries. Today, my partner almost trips over himself he’s so quick to support me.
What I discovered was so mind blowing that it actually became my new mission to teach it to anyone I could!
I combined all of my training, healing, and experience and I formulated my very own system to help me overcome blended family pitfalls and love my life, and now I’m bringing it to you as a stepmom coach!
When I started using my own system in my life my whole world changed. A new version of myself was born, AND I have been living my life in the most authentic life since then!
The healing, growing, and transformation did not stop afterwards. It only continued and it will be the same for you!
It has always been my deepest passion to support women and YOU are one of those women!
