My Journey
Becoming a therapist, life coach, and facilitator of change has not shielded me from experiencing trauma in my own life. I have faced many profound challenges: walking alongside an immediate family member through terminal cancer, losing my mother, serving as a caretaker, navigating deep grief, surviving an abusive relationship, returning to school in my late twenties, putting myself through college financially, being hospitalized unexpectedly with a life-threatening condition and told I might not survive, and enduring a violent encounter with a predatory man in adulthood.
Throughout my life, I have redefined myself, my relationships, and my career more than once. With each transition, I have grown through therapeutic practice, self-reflection, and a continual willingness to re-evaluate who I am and what I need. I have also had to redefine what I wanted in a loving relationship and learn how to attract a partner whose values aligned with my own.
These experiences, while deeply painful, have become catalysts for profound transformation in my life.
