A bit about my me...

 

Two decades of work in the mental health field has allowed

me the privilege to witness people on their journey towards

mental wellness.  

​

My burning passion for this work originated from my

personal journey towards mental wellness. Growing up with

a father who struggled with alcohol addiction and depression

led to ongoing anxiety as a child and young adult while a

traumatic birth experience resulted in post partum

depression and anxiety. These are my greatest gifts. They

have allowed me to experience first-hand what it means to

do the inner work. 

​

I combine my professional and personal experience to

provide your audience with an honest, vulnerable, engaging 

and dynamic workshop, presentation or other speaking 

event.
