I understand what it’s like to feel disconnected from your true self. Sometimes, it’s just about getting through the day, weighed down by the constant noise in your mind or the intensity of your emotions. Other times, it’s a quieter feeling — like something is holding you back from the peace, joy, or confidence that always seems just out of reach.

I know because I’ve sat with dozens of clients in their unique versions of this, and because I’ve been there too. It was my personal experience with mental health that led me to a career in the field. 

When I was young, I made sense of the pain in my life by telling myself it was my fault. I thought that to feel better I just had to put my head down, try harder, and do better.

I carried that story with me through much of my life. It came with stress, burnout, impulsivity, and isolation, but it shielded me from the vulnerable emotions underneath. And because it was protecting me, I couldn’t just shake it off.

Instead, I had to do the slow work of healing. I learned to drop into my body and sit with the messiness of my feelings. I turned toward the parts of me I’d disowned. With the support of wise and kind people, I began to believe that maybe, actually, I was okay. And the more I trusted I was okay, the easier it felt to lift my head and connect with the world in ways that felt meaningful. 

One of those ways has been supporting others on their journeys, as I keep walking my own. I see healing as a continual process, with ever-evolving layers of learning, unlearning, and growing. I’m honoured to hold space for that alongside you, with the wish that it helps you live from an increasingly more whole, grounded, and intentional place.
