Hi, I’m Em.

I promised myself I wouldn't lose myself the way the women around me did.

I did anyway.

Slowly, in a million-little-paper-cuts kind of way. Giving more than I had. Following a map I never chose. Performing roles I never agreed to. Waking up one day completely fluent in everyone else's needs and a stranger to my own.

That undoing, and the long, unglamorous work of finding my way back, is why I do this.

The credential that matters most to me is this one: I lived that script until there was nothing left of me in it. And I found my way back.

How I work

Part of finding my way back was understanding how I actually work. I feel everything deeply, connect dots faster than I can explain them, and need to live something before I can teach it. For a long time I thought that meant something was wrong with me. It didn't. I was just in the wrong rooms.

Now I teach what I had to learn the hard way: how to catch a pattern in the moment it fires. My method, Catch the Hook™, is built on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy coaching and mindfulness. I also draw on Positive Psychology, somatic practices, Human Design, and the Enneagram, whichever helps you see how you're wired.

Who I work with

Most of the women I work with are in the middle of losing and rebuilding themselves, after a relationship, a role, or a version of who they used to be. Others are past the crisis and still caught in the same dynamic, knowing exactly why and doing it anyway. If either one is you, you're in the right place.

I work 1:1 with a small number of women, on purpose. Deep work takes real attention.

I know what it costs to be seen incorrectly for so long you start to believe the wrong version of yourself. I want to see you accurately, and help you see yourself that way too.
