Read my story ⟶I create space for young women to build self-love, grow in confidence, and prepare for relationships that honor their worth.
Â
I know what it’s like to grow up in a world that doesn’t always model healthy love. That’s why I’m devoted to helping young women build the confidence, clarity, and discernment they need before they step into relationships.
This isn’t just about tools—it’s about creating a safe, judgment-free space where young women can hear their own inner voice, trust it, and step into their future from a place of strength. Along the way, they gain practical skills for every kind of relationship—family, friendships, and eventually romantic partnerships—so they can show up with confidence, boundaries, and authenticity wherever life takes them.
Raising the Standards for Relationships
Where self-worth sets the tone for every connection.Â
Â
Whether she seems steady and confident on the outside or sometimes struggles with self-doubt, this is a space for young women to go deeper—discovering who they are, clarifying their values, and preparing for relationships that reflect their true worth. Even if she hasn’t started dating yet, this work helps her avoid years of painful patterns by building the foundation for conscious, worthy love now.
Whether this is her first step into self-discovery or a deeper layer of growth, this work meets her exactly where she is.
Â
At Elevate Soul Coaching, my signature program Love Begins Within offers heart-centered, trauma-informed support for adolescent and young adult women who are ready to:
~ Strengthen self-love and authentic confidence
~ Clarify their values and relationship standards
~ Learn to spot red flags and avoid patterns of pain
~ Build tools for self-trust, boundaries, and meaningful connection
This isn’t surface-level support.
It’s intentional, soul-rooted growth—designed to meet each young woman exactly where she is and prepare her for love that reflects her true worth.
Preparing Young Women for a Different Future
Â
With nearly 20 years in education, a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy, and a holistic blend of modalities—including Reiki (Master level), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, and spiritual coaching—I bring both depth and practicality to this work. Each session blends structure with compassion, presence with heart, and practical tools with heartfelt connection.
I do this work because I know how hard it can be to stay true to yourself in a world that often pressures young women into unhealthy patterns. My heart is to help them find who they truly are, anchor into their values, and avoid unnecessary pain—so they can create relationships that reflect their worth instead of repeating old cycles.
