My Passion
"I believe that we are created out of love and for love, but our ability to fully live out this vocation is often disrupted by a variety of internal and external forces. Through my work, I have witnessed again and again the incredible resilience of the human spirit, our capacity to survive and even thrive amid the most painful circumstances. Sometimes, we just need a little help accessing those inner strengths. I am passionate about helping people realize their potential and regain their confidence, peace, and ability to live fully as the people they were created to be. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing someone overcome what they once thought impossible, and nothing humbles me more than being able to walk alongside them on that journey.
In my free time, you’ll likely find me running or exercising, hosting friends and family for dinner, enjoying Private Selection sea salt caramel ice cream, walking with my husband while admiring Cincinnati’s historic homes, reading a good book, or praying quietly in one of the city’s many beautiful churches."
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
