As an extremely type-A person, learning how to let has been a super difficult lesson hard to sit with.

The way my mind used to work was very methodical. If I faced a problem, I would think about it practically, and reverse engineer it to solve it.

And while that’s not completely wrong, intuition, vision, purpose, faith, and trust in God and self are very, very key to solving life’s heavier problems and improving your situation in a sustainable way.

If you’ve never tried slowing down and letting go a little bit around your hopes, dreams, and wishes… that might be the key that unlocks everything for you.

When we approach our mental health with gentleness and curiosity instead of judgment or reprimand, we give ourselves permission to be different, which then intern gives others, and really, life permission to be different with us.

If you’d like a little help working on your mental health and well-being, I would be so happy to assist.

Okay, you may or may not know this but I am a recovering DIVA! Like, DEEEEEVUHHHHH, with a capital D. I formerly hated, like with a humongous passion, waiting. For anything, ever, under any cirucumstances. It really made me upset. Chalk it up to unmet needs stemming from childhood, but patience was a lesson I really never got.

Fast forward to my bleak period, where I practically couldn’t get anything I wanted, much less quickly or predictably. It was in the time I took to pour into myself and my healing that I learned what I began to call “radical patience.”

A Dream Deferred was constantly in my head, I began to make friends with my frustrations, my desires, I began to get curious about how to still enjoy life in the waiting period which seemed to carry on forever.

It was in this acceptance that a sense of release and peaceful surrender took over. I associate those feelings with God and Holy Spirit. When all hell is breaking loose, what keeps you calm? Find that, reach for it when needed, and know that patience (along with perspective) is a powerful tool in what will become your eventual success story.

Wishing you all blessings!

Also, I am currently accepting new clients, so if you’re ready to take control of your mental health and create a life you absolutely love, I’d be so happy to assist.

Pour into you, love you, and always choose YOU.

Easier said than done for sure, but much simpler with a guide, especially one who has walked a similar path.

Yes, I have been through it, really struggled, questioned everything, lost everything, and in its place gained the wisdom and foresight necessary to emerge triumphant on the other side.

It’s been a long road (plus grad school for clinical counseling!) and on the other side of it I can confidently say I am now able to share my methods for healing with the world.

Working together I will show you exactly how to:

✨Unlock deeper levels of self-trust and confidence
✨Cultivate radiant mental health + joy
✨Discover your deeper purpose
✨Understand and process unconscious conflicts + blocks

And so much more!

I see you, I acknowledge you, I know exactly what the often clunky process of healing is like because I’ve walked the exact same path myself.

I am so very proud of you, keep going.

$Oof… I wish I’d known even a fraction of what I know now during those times when I felt so alone in my career and unsure...$

Oof… I wish I’d known even a fraction of what I know now during those times when I felt so alone in my career and unsure of how to find success again.

I worked with everybody, and there were some folks in there that were just… VERY obviously not the right fit. And I can remember those sessions, feeling uneasy, feeling unheard or just as though the vibe was off.

I didn’t start making art that felt “right” until I made the decision to take my mental health and spirituality seriously.

And actually, it took a while to break the habit of working with folks who were the wrong fit because it just plain takes a while to build self-confidence when you’re working from less than zero.

But when you learn to love yourself properly…

When you learn to turn off that craving for external validation...

When you understand that any weird, errant, or icky feelings you experience are your dashboard lights going off telling you:

“Umm, this ain’t it…”

And you LISTEN!?

That, my love… *that* is when you elevate.

If you’d like a little help learning discernment and self-advocacy in your career and life, I’d be so happy to assist.
