About Me

A young woman with long, wavy blonde hair, wearing a white button-up shirt, hoop earrings, and a subtle necklace, smiling against a plain light background.

I didn't always want to be a therapist. I became one because I needed to heal myself first.

At nineteen, I started noticing something: I kept ending up in the same dynamics, just with different people. I'd leave one situation and find myself in an eerily familiar one. For years, I understood it intellectually — and still lived it anyway.

So I decided to actually do the work.

I went deep — somatically, cognitively, emotionally, spiritually. I traced these patterns back to their roots, felt the weight of what they had cost me, and recognized what my family had been carrying for generations before I ever came along. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. There were moments I wanted to walk away from it all.

But I didn't. And everything changed.

My body transformed. Illnesses I'd carried for years began to clear. My face changed. The way I carried myself shifted. Because real healing doesn't just live in your mind — it moves through your body, your relationships, your spirit, and your sense of self.

I'm no longer living by inherited rules or someone else's version of who I should be. I built a life that actually feels like mine.

That's what I want for you. I know what it takes to break free from patterns that feel bigger than you. I know the courage it demands. And I know it's possible — because I've done it.

I'm here to walk alongside you.

Look closely at the difference between this photo and my Master's graduation two years later. That shift wasn't just academic — it was the result of deep, intentional inner work.
