Couples & Family Coach
Curious how repairing a toxic relationship can be the ultimate joy in life?
We all have toxic relationships. That relative or family friend who overstepped. That bully in school who called us names. That ex who betrayed us. That colleague who stole our promotions... Because on the other side of it is the thing most people never get: a relationship you actually trust, built by two people who did the work instead of just enduring it. That's not a fantasy — it's what happens when you stop managing the pattern and actually break it.
This works best if you're already pattern-aware and change-motivated — you can already see what's repeating, and you're ready to actually do something about it, not just talk about it more.
Stop guessing whether this is fixable. Let's find out.
A Bit About Me
I'm a romantic at heart — but I spent years avoiding love, because I learned early that love didn't feel safe. Protection made more sense than connection.
I'm in a different place now. I did the work to get here, and it rewired everything: connection and intimacy serve me better than protection ever did — even though vulnerability still isn't easy, and I don't pretend it is. When people ask what I do, my answer is simple — I help people break patterns.
I'm also an IVF mama, and my child — and yours — is why I do this work. It's the backbone of BigPicture.Consulting: breaking the cycles I inherited so my child gets a different legacy than the one I did. That's the real work — leaving something different behind, without disrespecting what came before.
How I Did the Work
I sought out therapists, coaches, teachers, healers, bodyworkers, books, documentaries, podcasts, trainings — and the likes. I figured it out myself, and now I'm here to walk with you through it.
The modalities I use are the modalities that worked for me. The work I do comes from real life experience — mine, and the couples and families I've coached.
Pain and
Betrayal
are
Inevitable
We live in a wounded world. Pain and betrayal happen — and not everyone who causes them is a bad person. Breaking my own pattern taught me something hard to sit with: I've caused that kind of pain, and I've carried it too.
I'm in recovery from narcissistic patterns myself, and I practice the same skills daily that I'll teach you. This isn't theory for me — it's ongoing work, which is part of why I can actually help. I stay current, and I stay relatable.
And the reason I like to work with couples and families is because we're wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships.

Who I Serve
You get someone who especially loves working with Asian and Hispanic communities and immigrant populations — the interfaith, intercultural, and interethnic dynamics a lot of coaches miss entirely. A Catholic partner and a Buddhist partner navigating holidays and rituals. A couple raised in different countries figuring out whose norms "win." Parents and adult children clashing over expectations shaped by different generations of migration. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place — and if it doesn't, the same directness still applies to you.
Long-term, I'm expanding this practice — more Relational Life Therapy across parenting, career transitions, grief, identity, and aging, plus a physical space where marginalized people can find real community and healing.
