I am a trauma survivor and my work is influenced by my own personal experiences and healing journey. I have struggled with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and CPTSD since I was a child after experiencing years of physical, sexual, emotional abuse. My 20s were filled with debilitating feelings, panic attacks, low self-worth, and constant health issues.
I was in talk therapy, I was medicated, I saw countless doctors, but nothing worked. I was constantly told by health professionals that something was “wrong” with me, it was all in my head, and I would just have to learn how to manage.
It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom when I learned how lifestyle changes, holistic practices, and a safe, nonjudgmental space could completely change my life forever.
I strongly believe that although trauma is a fact of life, it does not have to be a life sentence. There is hope. There are ways to heal. You can live the life you’ve always imagined. And I am here to help.
