I’ve been through some sh*t. I’ve fallen down and gotten back up more times than I can count. I've burned out and risen from the ashes. I’ve turned wounds into wisdom. I’ve earned my gray hairs. I live this stuff.
🌀 Long-Term Recovery, Lived Experience 🌀
I’m a person in long-term recovery. My journey began in 2006 and has evolved over nearly two decades. The early years were focused on recovering from addiction—drugs, alcohol, gambling. These days it’s more about relationship patterns and generational family dynamics. My recovery and healing journey has included counseling, multiple twelve-step programs, meditation, yoga, ceremony, and plant medicine.
💬 Former Counselor, Current Guide 💬
I spent 10+ years on the front lines of the addiction epidemic as a licensed counselor, supervisor, consultant, and group facilitator in residential and outpatient settings. I feel really fortunate to have learned so much about the human experience from working with folks navigating mental health, trauma, and addiction-related challenges during this time in my life. I also learned a lot about self-care and what happens when we don’t prioritize our own well-being while being in service to others. In 2020, I chose to let go of my counselor license to serve in a more intuitive, integrated way. I now guide folks in learning about themselves in a way that honors my lived experience, formal training, earned wisdom, and spiritual insight.
🌍 Nomad, Wanderer, Seeker 🌍
After growing up in New Jersey, I caught the travel bug in 2012 on a trip to India—and never looked back. Since then, I’ve lived in 11 countries across 4 continents. I move slow, stay long, and soak up culture wherever I go. My work and my worldview are deeply shaped by these global chapters.
📚 Lifelong Learner, Systems Thinker 📚
I love learning. I love to zoom in on the intricate details of things as much as I love to zoom all the way out and see how they come together. I’m big on understanding systems, how they operate, and how all the pieces and parts interplay. Whether in a classroom, a circle, or a deep 1:1 conversation, I’m lit up by new perspectives and deeper patterns. This love of learning informs everything I do, including how I teach, guide, and support others on their own journey home to themselves.
