Let me start by saying I enjoy hearing other people's stories and if they need someone to listen without judgement, I am there for them. When I was growing up, I was supposed to just "know" how to behave and do the right things. When I would fail, and that’s a given, I turned it all inward and filled my mind and heart with a lot of guilt and shame for simply existing and not being perfect at my existence. I also became a bulimic and had an outstanding hatred of my body and outer appearance. To cover up my pain I became very entitled and self-righteous as a defense mechanism.
I discovered helping others feel better was an outlet for me. Doing what I could to make others’ lives easier or just being there to listen. However, I didn't understand boundaries around this one until much later, and I had developed a pattern of letting people take abusive advantage of me. The other outlet was music. Singing, playing the piano, writing songs, poems, and short stories.

Then, a few years ago I had a complete meltdown. I couldn't function in any capacity at my job, my life, my relationships, my emotions, everything. I felt I hit my personal rock bottom. Nowhere to go but to live or to die. I made the decision that I needed to do whatever I could to get out of this situation not just alive, but alive and abundantly thriving. The programs and services I offer are the same programs and services I received during my journey of recovery and healing. They saved my life. My passion is to help as many people as possible in the same way, but also to expand this help into the workplace, since there is a real and palpable need to change most work environments from toxic to healthy.
