our voices matter

That’s the heart of what I want to create here—a space where truth can exist in all its messiness. Life is hard. We carry wounds we barely understand, shaped by generations before us, doing the best we can with the tools we’ve inherited. This space is for cathartic release—for the ugly cries, the tangled thoughts, and the kind of healing that only happens when we allow ourselves to be fully seen - shit show, messy hair bun, on the verge of a nervous breakdown - whatever it looks like, you are welcome here. 

​

Starting therapy was the hardest, most heartbreaking step of my journey. It forced me to face years of shoved down, criticized and ignored emotions - the ones I was too afraid to let myself feel, and too prideful to admit affected me. I blamed the world for my emotional outbursts, my ridgidity and stubborn nature, my "this is just who I am" reasons for treating people one way or another. I had to get really comfortable with feeling uncomfortable, take a good look at myself, the relationships I was tearing apart, and take responsibility for deep-rooted behaviors I didn't understand.  The process has been messy, broken, and yet so beautiful. Looking back on how far I've come has changed my life in amazing ways. And now, I want to help others heal from the wounds that hold them hostage.  
 

To pay it forward, I decided to go back to school. In fall 2026, I will graduate with my master’s in counseling psychology and, after working the required clinical hours and passing state licensing exams (MFT & PCC), I will open my private practice.​ 

In the interim, I am continuing my therapeutic journey, working through the scars that childhood trauma left in its path. Sometimes, especially in situations where early life trauma is present, more than talk therapy is required. I was sexually abused before I could speak, and my body feels the effects of the trauma more than my words can articulate. Talk therapy has been amazing and helped me grow, but it only took me so far. It couldn't reach the somatic sensations that were (and honestly, probably still are) buried in my body. I've explored various therapies with my therapist, all of which have helped me go deeper: Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine- Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Implementing these therapies into my healing journey has given my pain a voice I didn't know it had and has helped me hold space to grieve and heal in a new way. These therapies and approaches are ones I will absolutely incorporate into my practice.
​

And then, there’s speaking. My passion, my career, and my absolute favorite thing to do. If there’s a mic and a moment, I’m there. Teaching, guiding, bringing healing into the room—there’s no better way to help others heal than by sharing practical, real-life ways to rebuild what’s been broken. I don't currently have a speaking platform or much of a following. However, it is certainly on my list of big goals!

​

More than anything, I want to meet people where they are and help them find their way forward. The road to healing isn’t always clear, but I believe it can be paved with empathy, vulnerability, and understanding. When we meet each other with curious compassion and allow ourselves to feel deeply, true healing can begin.
