Why RPG Wellness
New adventures require new versions of yourself. RPG Wellness offers guidance as you build out your next self’s inventory of skills, tools, and community. Coaching offers a learning space to playtest success, struggle, and failure for real-life challenges like:
Explaining the gap in your resume in your next interview
Confronting a loved one on a harm they caused
Accepting a new opportunity with confidence
Unapologetically building your future as your next favorite self
After 10+ years as a licensed therapist, life transitions expert, and nonprofit startup operations professional, guiding people to succeed at the turning point of their lives is what I do best.

Is coaching therapy?
No. While coaching can be therapeutic in honoring your story and referencing mental health resources, coaching is focused on action steps for the present and future. Coaching requires honesty more than vulnerability. Be ready to answer these questions:
How will you know you’ve succeeded?
How much of what held you back were things you can change, and how much was fear?
Who loses if you don’t make this happen in this timeline?
If you are seeking mental health care, please contact 988 or connect to your nearest emergency care center.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Coaching is for you if you’re tired of being tired with the same problems and want to turn that “one day” post into “day one. If you answered “2 or more” to one of these, coaching may be for you:
How many of your Collections or Bookmark folders are labeled “someday,” “future me,” or “dream life?”
How many books on building atomic habits, ikigai lifestyles, and reaching your first million are sitting unread on your shelf?
How many relationships have ended with the same person/problems in a different font?
How often have you told yourself you’d wait for the right time, that taking care of others’ needs always takes priority over what you want to do?
Why RPG Wellness?
In 2024, I joined the inaugural class of Take This’s Accelerate program, building professionals at the intersection of mental health and gaming amidst massive layoffs and mental health crises in the industry. My capstone of “takeout-sized life coaching” took the concept of role play and character building, and alchemized with my 10+ years of experience training leaders, facilitating life skill programs, and therapeutic work in a model that anyone can access and apply immediately to any goal. In that space, I was struggling with my own wellness and believing in myself. In building RPG Wellness, I was reminded that this process has worked throughout my resume: for youth and adults in alternative to incarceration programs, in adults re-entering after incarceration, for young adults transitioning to independent living, to families breaking intergenerational cycles of poverty.
Life, like gameplay, is a series of choices. We have the power to shape our roles and make decisions towards not just surviving, but thriving. Because, what if it all worked out?
What time are sessions?
Sessions are 75 minutes, with availability ranging from weekday afternoons between 10 AM - 4 PM and weekday evenings from 10 AM - 12 AM (shoutout to night owls and parents).
Our Process
Prepare
Approach the application as an order form: what do you want for yourself? How do you want to receive it? What would being just one step closer look like?
Play
Through role play, we transfer power from our fear-based thoughts to those of curiosity, desire, and adventure. So what if you failed as predicted? What if it also worked out?
Plan
Together we gather what we’ve learned from the role play and dive into strategizing your next steps. In mapping daily and weekly sprints with consistent progression, we identify what can be achieved in 30 days.
Progress
At the end of our session, you will have a 30-day strategy to achieve progress in your goal, with supplemental tools and resources to support your next steps.
