About Me

Beyond being a Certified Professional Life Coach, I am an extreme mental health enthusiast and firm believer that the life you dream of IS possible. And it starts with the person in your mirror. How do I know this? 

Teen years are not what I would call “enjoyable” for most people, and for me they were particularly poor. I was 12 years old when I self-harmed for the first time and started having suicidal thoughts. I was 13 when I was put on my first (of many) antidepressant and developed anorexia. I was 14 when I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I was 15 when I was in an extremely emotionally abusive relationship.  

Life was simply a nightmare. I felt no joy, no purpose, no hope. Trying to fathom a future wasn’t even feasible, because everything I had was going into surviving each day at a time.  

I didn’t look at the person in my mirror, because I hated her.  

Facing these immense struggles for so many years fueled my already formed interest in psychology and turned it into a passion. I first heard of psychology when I was 12, and in the 10 years it’s been, my love for it has not wavered. I began studying psychology in my free time and now as my major in college.

I started to learn how the brain works, how our happy chemicals work, how our emotions work, how we interpret things, and not just that, but I learned how I could take all of that information and do things to make it work in my favor. But the key part is doing. 

I could learn every trick in the book, but when I walked up to that girl in my mirror, she would still be standing there the same. I learned that she was following my lead, and that I not only had to learn how to take charge of my thoughts, alter my mindset, and take care of myself, but that I also had to do it. 

Taking these steps changed my entire life trajectory and unlocked potential that I did not even know existed. Life has continued to have challenges, but for the first time, I have been on my side. I have had myself through all of them, and I have had the knowledge and the action to push through them. 

When I moved out for college, I was left on my own completely independent. I had no idea how to support myself and be an adult. During these years I had failed relationships, had to transfer schools, lost my job due to the location closing, and a year and half ago, I lost my little brother to suicide.  

Now, I am 6 months away from having my bachelor’s in Psychology. I have cash-flowed my way through school. I will be graduating debt-free and have paid $57,613 in tuition starting with nothing. I will be going to graduate school to earn my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I am in a happy, healthy relationship. I am doing work I love. My mental health is flourishing. I am improving myself every day.  

And all of this is because I took charge of the person in my mirror.  

This is how I know your dream life is possible. If that girl could become the woman she is today, then you too can overcome and accomplish whatever you set your mind to, and I would be honored to use what I’ve learned to show you the way.
