Live Better My mission is to provide people with an opportunity to be the best version of themselves. Why do we sometimes fail to reach our potential? I can help.

We are all unique, and when we allow that uniqueness to shine, we become lovable, productive, successful and happy people. Not because we do not want to be happy and successful. Rather, it is because of obstacles that block our ability to live the life we want. It is because we have developed poor coping strategies, anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. As a teenager I struggled with all four of these obstacles, but through the process of my own therapy, I discovered that I could create the life I wanted. Because of my success, I decided to help others clear their own paths to happiness. If you feel like you are not on the path to creating fulfillment and joy in your life, call me.

Just completed a hike with my mom in Mammoth Lakes 🥾🤍

My mom and dad were the ones who first taught me how powerful and fulfilling it can be to spend time in nature!

I’m not sure I always gave them much evidence that those lessons were sinking in when I was younger 😂 But somewhere along the way, they became so deeply embedded in me.

Being outside, moving my body, taking in the beauty around me… it’s become such an important part of who I am.

And I love that after all these years, my mom and I still get to share that joy together.

There’s something really special about realizing that something your parents gave you so long ago has stayed with you… and getting to experience it right alongside them🥹🤍

Watching Leo learn to swim has been one of my favorite things lately 🥹🏊🏼‍♂️

Of course I love watching him learn a new skill, but what I love even more is seeing the confidence that comes every time he realizes, “Wait… I can do hard things.”

Every little breakthrough builds on the last, and there’s something so special about watching your child discover their own strength in real time ❤️

I hope he carries that belief in himself into every hard thing that comes next!

What if the voice in your head isn’t always telling you the truth? 👀

Our minds were built to help us survive, which means they’re constantly looking for what could go wrong, even when everything is actually okay...

Learning to recognize the difference between your survival mind and your true self can change the way you experience your thoughts, your emotions, and your life ✨

You don’t have to believe every thought that comes through!

Out to lunch with my boys 🥹🤍

The way I am Leo’s favorite person in the world right now does something to my heart!

There were parts of me that, for a long time, didn’t know how to fully receive love. To trust it, soften into it, and let it feel as good as it was meant to feel.

And then there’s Leo, loving me so purely and so freely 🥰

There’s something incredibly healing about being loved like that… but even more healing in realizing I can finally let myself take it all in.

The more I make time for myself, the more I realize it was never selfish to begin with 🥹

I hear “I don’t have any time for myself” from my clients constantly, and as a parent and business owner, I completely understand why it feels that way.

There will ALWAYS be something that feels more important, whether it’s your kids, your business, your family, or the never-ending list of things that need you 🤪

But I’ve started putting a date with myself on my calendar every single week, and today that looked like an hour on the trail breathing deeply, feeling the sun, moving my body, and letting myself simply be!

Because when I intentionally make space for myself, I don’t have less to give everyone else…I actually have MORE 🙌🏼

I’m more productive in my business, more present with the people I love, and more capable of showing up as the version of myself I actually want to be ❤️

So consider this your nudge to put yourself on the calendar this week and do something that fills YOU back up!

And if you do, come back and tell me what your date with yourself looked like 👇🏼

Mark and I took a weekend for ourselves in Laguna, and gosh, I love that man❤️

We’ve finally figured out that in the rare moments we get to be alone together, the best thing we can do is… not much at all.

No packed itinerary or rushing from one thing to the next...

Just being together!

Sitting in each other’s presence. Laughing. Having uninterrupted conversations. Holding hands. Wandering around with nowhere we needed to be.

There was something so special about slowing everything down enough to really enjoy each other.

It was simple and it was magical 🥰

Sometimes the best days are the ones where nothing is planned!

A slow Thursday morning in our friend Melanie's backyard near Mammoth looked like sitting by the creek, splashing in the stream, and letting Leo lead the adventure 😍

Just the three of us enjoying the kind of unhurried time that somehow feels harder to come by these days!

It's funny how the simplest moments often become the ones you remember most 🥰

Healing is only half the journey ❤️‍🩹

The other half is learning how to build a life that reflects it!

For the past 20 years, I've dedicated my work to helping people create both emotional and practical transformation 🙌🏼

From psychotherapy to coaching, writing Life Launch, giving a TED Talk on the rise of anxiety, and creating the Live Better program, every step has been driven by the same mission:

To help people move beyond surviving and into living with greater peace, purpose, and intention.

Because emotional breakthroughs are powerful.

But they become life-changing when they lead to real action 🙌🏼

If you're ready to become the expert on your own growth and step into your highest potential, I'd love to help guide you.

Some of the best adventures don't need an itinerary 🌲💙

Just a lake and a little boy with an endless imagination!

One of the greatest gifts of being Leo's dad is that he reminds me to slow down and notice the things I'd probably walk right past.

→ The ripples in the water.
→ The sound of the wind through the trees.
→ The excitement of spotting a fish or finding the "perfect" rock.

Kids have a way of turning nature into the best playground in the world!

And every time we come out here together, I'm reminded that these are the moments we'll remember most ❤️

You can't think your way out of every trigger 😅

One of the biggest misconceptions about healing is believing that understanding why you're triggered is enough.

Insight matters.

But insight without feeling often keeps us stuck!

When something activates an old wound, the invitation isn't just to analyze it.

It's to get curious 👀

Where do I feel this in my body?

How old do I feel right now?

What does this younger version of me need in this moment?

Sometimes healing looks less like finding the perfect answer and more like offering yourself the compassion you needed all along.

When we stop resisting our emotions and start meeting them with acceptance, they begin to move instead of staying trapped!

That's where real release happens 🙌🏼
