I have spent more than a decade committed to doing the “work” of healing. Trust me, I’ve tried it all: spirituality, higher education, therapy/psychiatry, self-help books, expensive coaching containers, journaling, meditation, 12-step recovery… just to name a few. Each of these experiences has shaped the steps I’ve taken to improve my health. I’m living proof that it’s not only possible to experience wellness in all areas of life—it’s probable.
Since 2014, I’ve worked in the mental health and wellness field in a variety of roles. My experience spans working with diverse populations across multiple settings, which means I know how to adapt and support people in authentic, empowering ways. Along the way, I’ve trained extensively in areas such as confidentiality and privacy, professional boundaries, trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, cultural competence, and wellness coaching approaches. This background gives me both the skills and the sensitivity to meet people where they are and walk alongside them in meaningful growth.
In 2024, I returned to higher education and am currently pursuing two degrees: a B.A. in Psychology with a focus in health, and a B.S. in Health and Wellbeing Science. My dream is to continue on to a Master’s, and eventually, a PhD. My current coursework includes social and health psychology, nutrition, public health education, small group communication, and health and wellness coaching.
