About me

My story

I know what it's like to feel stuck, and to need support finding calm amidst the chaotic demands of life. I know what it's like to silently carry feelings of inadequacy, shame, denial, and grief. And I know what it's like to wake up most mornings filled with self-loathing.

For years, I turned to alcohol to quiet my anxious brain at the end of the day, to protect myself from heavy emotions, and to mask my true introverted nature. I didn't know how to hold personal boundaries, how to navigate conflict in my relationships, or how to be gentle with myself when I made mistakes. I was surrounded by friends, family, and colleagues who loved me, but I felt so alone.

Eventually, I started working with a therapist. In therapy, I felt supported, safe to explore my emotions, and really seen. I was finally learning how to hold space for my emotions, how to dismantle the limiting beliefs I held about myself, how to create better personal boundaries, and how to be more comfortable in my own skin.

The deeper I dove into my own personal work, the more keenly aware I became of how true healing requires an approach more comprehensive than talk therapy alone. While talk therapy gave me a voice I hadn't known before, I still felt like something was missing. It wasn't until I began exploring my relationship to alcohol and embarking on my own sober journey that I realized more attention was needed on the mind-body connection and nutrition.

After much research and exploration, both academically and personally, I embraced a holistic approach that encompasses whole-person healing, considering all aspects of a person's lived experience and how each impacts mental wellness.

If you've read this far, I have a feeling some of my experiences resonate with yours as well. I'd be honored to hear your story and support you on your journey to relief, clarity, and healing.
