FAVORITE THING ABOUT MY JOB:

There are so many things I love about my job, and I feel deeply grateful to do this work. If I had to choose just one favorite, it's the privilege of sitting with another person in a fully accepting, nonjudgmental space-hearing their story, honoring their experiences, and walking alongside them as they work toward becoming the version of themselves they want to be.

BEST HEALTH ADVICE:

Healing isn't a straight line, and that can be one of the hardest - and most important - things to understand. Progress may not always look like constantly moving forward, but if you're showing up, reflecting, and continuing to care for yourself, healing is still happening - even on the days it doesn't feel like it.

MOTIVATION FOR HEALTH:

"Become the example of what you hope to find in others" is a guiding truth in my health journey. I want to offer others compassion, resilience, and self respect, and that means learning to give those things to myself first. My journey isn't about perfection - it's about showing up with honesty, grace, and intention. By practicing what I teach, I'm not only supporting my own healing, but creating the kind of presence and energy I hope to share with others.

FAVORITE HEALTHY FOOD:

Greek yogurt with fresh berries and granola.
