What a journey it has been.
I began life far from boardrooms and global cities - on a rural farm near a small town with no access to mental health care.
What was available were survival instincts, grit, and a deep inner drive to understand the human mind - qualities that would become foundational to my work today.
As a psychology student, I dove into the study of trauma, not just academically but personally. I encountered more pain than I anticipated, and eventually, the accumulation of unhealed experiences became unsustainable. It was a pivotal moment - one that demanded I take full responsibility for my own healing.
I invested heavily in myself: working with skilled therapists, pursuing advanced training, reading relentlessly, and building the insight necessary to move forward. This wasn’t theoretical - it was deeply lived.
My journey then took me across continents. I lived and worked in global environments, faced culture shock, adapted to new languages, and experienced professional burnout.
I saw firsthand the pressures that come with high performance and constant adaptation - especially when compounded by unresolved trauma.
What I bring to my clients today is the perspective of someone who has sat on both sides of the therapeutic space. I know what it feels like to need support, to question whether healing is possible, and to commit - financially, emotionally, and mentally - to the work.
I also know the profound transformation that’s possible when you do.
For those who are carrying invisible burdens, the process of healing is not a luxury - it’s a strategic investment.
The return is immeasurable: clarity, vitality, and the ability to lead and live with authenticity.
If you’re ready to make that investment, I’m here to guide you through it.

Luna was used for breeding and retired just before turning 6, after which the breeder de-sexed her and wanted to get rid of her. We jumped at the opportunity to adopt her and she’s been our naughty little cutie since 2023.
