Real Healing Starts When You Quit “Should”-ing All Over Yourself

Let’s be honest—“should” is a four-letter word in my book. Most of us are drowning in expectations—family, friends, society, social media, and those stubborn generational scripts that whisper “that’s just how it’s always been.” If you’re stuck, numb, anxious, or caught in patterns that don’t serve you, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’re human, and you’ve been handed a playbook written by someone else.

How I Support Your Recovery

My work is all about helping you dig up the “why” behind your pain—not just slapping a band-aid on symptoms. We’ll shine a light on the roots of your patterns, name the generational and family dynamics at play, and rewrite the story from survival to thriving. Together, we’ll figure out how to live on your own terms, not someone else’s.

Building a Relationship with Yourself

Dysfunction teaches us to self-sacrifice. Chronic people-pleasing? Guilt and shame for even thinking about your own needs? Yep, I’ve been there. Real healing means learning how to put yourself first, build trust with your own inner child, and become the most important relationship in your life. My job is to help you find your voice, your power, and the courage to create relationships based on authenticity and accountability—starting with the one you have with yourself.

My Recovery Journey

My own healing started with panic attacks and anxiety in college—long before I had the language for what I was carrying. When I found ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) in 2017, it clicked: you don’t need alcohol in the home to inherit the weight of dysfunction. Workaholism, religion, codependency, perfectionism… those are all forms of numbing and survival. I learned that what we don’t heal gets handed down, just with new wrapping paper.

Today, I’m walking my own path of emotional sobriety, showing up as a Fellow Traveler with clients. I’m not above you—I’m beside you. That’s how real recovery works.

A Little More About Me

The best title I’ll ever have is “Mom” to my daughter. My Sheltie, Ollie, is my co-therapist and office mascot—he takes “let’s go to work” very seriously and claims the best spot in the room. Lilith, my cat and constant companion, is usually curled up in my lap for every session, making sure no one leaves without a dose of feline wisdom (or a judgy stare—she’s got range). Crystals, oracle cards, and a dash of astrology are always close by for me personally, and for our work if that’s something you want to incorporate. If you’re looking for someone who believes in the magic and the science of healing, who lifts heavy weights and spirits, and who can tell you which planet is making you feel “some type of way”—I’m your girl.
