Therapist, coach, wife, mom - but most of all, human. As someone with personal experience living with chronic pain and illness, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re trying everything, doing everything right, and seemingly getting nowhere. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are completely normal” or “there’s nothing wrong with you” but you’re in constant pain and discomfort, you’ve come to the right place. My main work is with those who experience hard-to-diagnose health issues and syndromes. Things like gastro-intestinal problems, arthritic pain, back pain and other bodily aches, and genetic disorders are all within my wheelhouse. We work on things like managing stress, building healthier relationships (with romantic partners, friends, and healthcare professionals), and healing childhood emotional wounds. How I show up with clients stems not only from my lived experience but also from my decade of training with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Year 1 of Somatic Experiencing, which means that I believe trauma lives in the body - not in your thoughts. There is a strong connection between chronic illness / chronic pain and the following emotional struggles: -Perfectionism -Procrastination / lack of motivation -Childhood emotional neglect -Finding it hard to relate to others -Feeling alone/isolated, even within your romantic relationship -Lack of meaning/purpose in life

As an avid reader and writer, I have developed a deep passion for personal development and spirituality (Christian faith), which has led me to explore various avenues, from self-help, books to motivational speeches and I am writing a book and developing a journal with the hopes of sharing it with you soon.

More than anything I want the individuals I work with to know that change can happen but only if change is wanted. I'm here for you but you will need to be willing and available for yourself first in acknowledging something can be different. Whatever has happened does not have to be the end but a beginning of what you want to see in your life!
