Meet Your Guide
I know what it feels like to stand in your own home and not recognize the life around you.
That's exactly why I built this
MY STORY
Why I do this work
There was a moment when everything I had built my life around simply fell away. My foundation crumbled — and I found myself living alone for the very first time. Not just without a partner. Without anything familiar. A new environment, a new silence, and a version of my life I didn't recognize.
Nothing felt safe. I didn't feel like myself. I didn't know how to make a home out of four walls that didn't hold any of my history — and I didn't know how to make a life out of finances that suddenly felt completely out of control. I didn't know where to start. So I did the only thing I knew how to do: I learned. I studied. I tried things, adjusted, and slowly — slowly — I began to build something that was actually mine.
"It wasn't fast. It wasn't linear. But piece by piece, I found my footing — and I found myself."
Then my mom called. She had just gone through a divorce after 27 years of marriage — suddenly living alone in a new home, single for the first time since she was a teenager. She looked at what I had done for myself and asked if I could help her do the same. Help her make her new house feel like a home. Help her get a handle on her finances. Help her find herself again on the other side of an enormous loss.
That conversation is what created In Charge In Change. Because I realized that what my mom needed — and what I had needed — wasn't just practical advice. It was someone who truly understood both sides of starting over: the home that needs to feel safe again, and the finances that need to make sense again. Someone who had lived it, not just studied it.
I built these programs for women like us. So that when your foundation crumbles — whether through divorce, widowhood, or any kind of major loss — you don't have to figure it out alone the way we did. You have someone beside you who has walked this road, and who knows exactly how to help you build something beautiful on the other side of it.
WHAT I BELIEVE
My Philosophy
Your home is where recovery either happens or stalls
Every room that still belongs to your old life is a room that keeps your nervous system in the past. Your home is not just where you live — it is where you either heal or stay stuck. It matters more than anyone tells you.
Financial clarity is the ground under your feet
When you know what comes in, what goes out, and whether the numbers work — your nervous system knows you are safe. Getting your books in order is not just a practical task. It is the beginning of feeling genuinely in charge of your own life again.
You don't have to
carry this alone.
The financial weight, the identity confusion, the home that doesn't feel
like yours — none of it is yours to carry
solo. You are capable. You are resourceful. You simply deserve a partner for this part of the journey.
That's what I'm here for.
WHY HOME AND FINANCES TOGETHER
The connection most people miss
Most people will tell you to see a therapist for the emotional work and an accountant for the money. And therapy is wonderful — I'm not here to replace it.
But the women who were struggling most weren't just struggling emotionally. They were drowning in a home that no longer reflected who they were — and carrying the full weight of their finances alone, without a partner to share the load or the decisions. Two separate crises, happening at the same time, with no one holding both.
Your home became a museum of your former life. Your finances became a responsibility you now carry entirely alone. Both deserve real support. That's exactly what I'm here to provide.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
A few things about me
Because credentials tell you what I know — but this tells you who I actually am.
Fueled by coffee. Always
I am a morning person through and through — but not before that first cup. Coffee with a little sugar-free creamer, every single morning without exception. Then a quiet read before the day begins. I'm in bed by 9 PM and I have absolutely zero shame about it.
Wine, cooking, and ideally both at once
Give me a cooking class with a glass of wine in hand and I am in my absolute happy place. Even better if it's with my family or girlfriends. I love food, I love the process of making it, and I fully believe the kitchen is where the best conversations happen.
Horse girl
I love horses and horseback riding with my whole heart. Someday the dream is land out in the country with horses of my own. For now, every chance I get to ride is a good day. There is something about being near horses that just settles the nervous system — and yes, I see the connection to my work.
Don't underestimate me on football
This one surprises people every time. I am a serious football fan and I probably know more about the game than a lot of men I've met. I'm not going to apologize for it. Sundays in the fall? Sacred.
The Kitchen is my favorite room. Always
Not the living room. Not the bedroom. The kitchen. It's where connection happens, where memories are made, where I decompress after a long day. A great kitchen makes a home feel alive. This is not a coincidence given the work I do.
My brothers are the funniest people
Nobody makes me laugh the way my brothers do. I am also spectacularly bad at social media — but I am trying, I promise. If you follow me, you will witness the journey in real time. Failing forward, as I always say
"Fall forward. Even if you fall or fail, it's a growth opportunity — which means you're still moving forward. And you miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
The philosophy I live by
If any of this resonates — the morning coffee ritual, the love of a good kitchen, the belief that falling forward is still moving forward — I think we are going to get along just fine.
