For years, I cycled through therapy and meds, wondering why nothing was really sticking. You too? Then you’re in the right place. 

Turns out, the problem wasn’t me—and it’s not you, either. Anxiety and depression are symptoms of a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Once I understood that, everything changed.

Now, I help people heal anxiety and depression at the root by combining science, somatics, and tools that actually work. 

This blog is where I share what I’ve learned through over a decade of research, coaching, and lived experience. My goal is to create a space where healing feels possible and a whole lot less overwhelming.

I’m so glad you’re here. 🤍
