Meet Deborah
Certified Life Coach and Personalized Matchmaker
I’m a Midwest girl at heart, raised in Columbus, Ohio, now happily rooted in Chicago with my husband. From my early days as a cheerleader and gymnast, I learned that hard work, perseverance, and teamwork are the foundation of growth — lessons that have carried me through every chapter of life.
I’ve worn many hats: young mother, single mom, semi-professional cheerleader, coach, and trusted right-hand to attorneys and judges throughout my 40+ year legal career. Through it all, I’ve discovered that my true calling has always been to coach, encourage, and uplift others.
Life hasn’t always been smooth — but every bump, detour, and rebuild has shaped me into the balanced, resilient woman I am today. I believe that small, intentional shifts can create big results, and that a positive mindset is the key to lasting change. My mission is to help you find that same balance and confidence — because when your life feels aligned, everything else falls into place.
Cheers in advance to a new and better you!

"Deb went above and beyond in helping us put on our very first Start Anew clinic in Chicago last year. She served as the liaison to the team at Dress for Success, prepared wonderful materials for our survivor attendees, and training materials for our volunteers. Her enthusiasm and willingness was so appreciated, but also created such an impact on all of the survivors who attended."

"Before working with Deborah, I didn’t realize how overwhelmed I’d become trying to hold
work, family, and relationships together. With her guidance, I learned to set clear, loving
boundaries and everything shifted. I feel lighter, more present, and grounded in myself again."
