Hey friend! I’m Mary and I’m here to remind you that healing is possible, and you are never alone.
My journey began in darkness. I attempted suicide at just 11 years old, struggling with severe depression, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings of abandonment. I battled a personality disorder that left me disconnected from myself and drowning in emotions that felt too big to carry. Life was terrifying, and I felt lost.
In 2018, after a painful breakup caused by my own unhealed patterns, I made the decision to begin my healing journey. I was tired of living in internal chaos. Since then, I’ve committed to becoming a student of healing, growth, and emotional intelligence and I haven’t looked back.
Today, as an Emotional Intelligence Life Coach, my purpose is to walk alongside others who are navigating their own storms. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where clients can be seen, heard, and supported as they process emotions, build self-awareness, and reconnect with their sense of self.
Healing isn’t a straight line, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and help you evolve into the most authentic, empowered version of you.

Kathy brings over a decade of experience as a passionate mental health advocate, with a deeply personal mission rooted in both service and healing. As a veteran and a survivor of childhood loss—having lost her mother to suicide at the age of seven—Kathy has turned her pain into purpose by dedicating her life to helping others know they are never alone.
Her coaching approach is grounded, compassionate, and action-focused. Kathy works closely with individuals to uncover what truly matters to them, set meaningful goals, build clear, achievable plans—and most importantly, walk beside them every step of the way.
Whether you're navigating grief, transition, trauma, or simply seeking direction, Kathy offers a safe, empowering space where growth and self-discovery can thrive.

Jeremiah’s journey into mental health coaching and advocacy was born from his own path through adversity, loss, and healing. Having experienced acute and chronic developmental trauma early in life, he spent years navigating disruptive behaviors, addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation. As a survivor of suicide loss—having lost both his father and sister—Jeremiah deeply understands the ache of grief and the ways it compounds personal struggle. His early years in the trades taught him perseverance and grounded resilience, but it was his need for healing that led him to self-discovery, purpose, and ultimately to helping others find their way toward growth and freedom from cycles of being stuck.

After enduring complex family trauma, Jeremiah has dedicated his life to supporting adolescents, parents, and families as they navigate emotional challenges, relational healing, and the process of rebuilding connection. His approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that growth is possible for everyone—no matter where they begin.

As a Mental Health Coach, Jeremiah is a Certified Adolescent and Family Support Specialist–Supervisor, a Certified Trauma Care Practitioner, and a Certified Life Coach. He blends lived experience with trauma-informed education, neuroscience, and emotional wellness practices to help others move from pain and uncertainty toward connection, stability, and hope.

Life Coach & Resilience Mentor
With a hard-knock life behind me, I’ve turned adversity into purpose. My own journey through life’s toughest challenges led me to a calling—helping others rise above their struggles and rediscover their inner strength.
What sets me apart is my rare ability to form deep, heartfelt connections with people. I don’t just listen—I see you. I get to the root of what’s holding you back and help you uncover the strength that’s already within you.
I’m not afraid to laugh at my own past. My self-deprecating humor and openness make even the heaviest stories feel a little lighter—and a lot more human. I believe healing doesn’t always have to be heavy—it can also be honest, empowering, and even a little fun.
Join me on this healing adventure. Let’s do the work together to build the life you truly deserve.
