It is in our darkest moments that we find the most precious parts of ourselves. We can learn to love and integrate those parts into our conception of who we are. This allows us to begin moving forward as an integrated whole, flowing more easily towards what we desire.
I was called to become a therapist after my own transformative journey through therapy and recovery, driven by a deep and consistent desire to help others navigate their own darkest moments. My early life was marked by chaos, addiction, and trauma—experiences that carved me into a perfectionist, people-pleasing, high-achieving individual who was deeply disconnected from my true self. To survive, I learned to hide those parts of me away, believing that this disconnection was necessary to stay safe and to succeed in a world that often felt overwhelming and unpredictable.
But as time passed, I realized that this disconnection was actually blocking me from stepping into a space where I could truly thrive. My pursuit of perfection and external validation was masking the parts of me that I had buried in order to protect myself. It wasn’t until I started engaging in my own therapeutic and spiritual work that I began to recognize the inherent strengths in these parts of myself. Through this process, I was able to peel back the layers and understand who I truly am beneath the trauma and the patterns I had learned to survive.
Through this self-discovery, I also learned how to truly love and accept myself—a journey I am still on today. This path has transformed my life, and my passion for the mental health field has blossomed from the fertile ground of my darkest days. My own experiences have given me a deep understanding of the pain that can come with trauma, addiction, and disconnection, and how healing is not just possible but deeply transformative when approached with the right tools, support, and compassion.
This personal growth ignited in me an unstoppable desire to learn everything I can about the different avenues of healing, so I can support others in moving through their own transformative life experiences. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and it is my privilege to help guide individuals in finding their own path to healing. The work that I do with my clients is rooted in my belief that we all have the capacity to heal and grow, no matter how dark the times may seem.
I love the process of finding what works best for each client. There is an incredible joy in discovering the tools, techniques, and insights that will help someone feel better, more whole, and empowered. Whether it’s through understanding deep-seated emotional patterns, tapping into creative expression, or learning how to regulate the nervous system, I am here to guide you through that exploration.
And when the dark times inevitably come, as they do for all of us, I will be there with you, sitting alongside you, weathering the storm. I know what it feels like to be in those moments of despair, and I am committed to providing the support and compassion you need to face them head-on. I will stand with you, helping you build the strength to move through difficult times, and guiding you as you reclaim your power to heal, grow, and ultimately thrive.
