I grew up in chaos.

Violence, addiction, and trauma shaped my world from the very beginning. I moved so many times that I lost count of how many schools I attended before I graduated high school.

Needless to say, my foundation was rocky.

I learned to survive by disconnecting from myself, numbing my pain, and carrying responsibilities far beyond my years.

Because of that, I entered adulthood deeply anxious, lost, riddled with shame (seriously, everything I did felt wrong), drowning in self-doubt, and caught in relentless self-criticism. My coping mechanisms were self-destructive, alcohol being the biggest one.

At the time, drinking was the only strategy I had to feel safe in my body.

But at some point, I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

I kept watching myself self-sabotage, hurt the people I loved with actions that felt out of my control, and barely recognized the person staring back at me in the mirror.

I knew I had to reach out for help…to finally choose myself, even if that meant facing my deepest wounds and the fears surrounding them.

So I did.

It wasn’t easy. But choosing myself changed everything.

I dove into healing work, not just through therapy and trauma work (which I deeply needed), but through something deeper

self-love.

Real self-love.

Not just bubble baths and affirmations (though those can be nice), but the kind that required me to actually be with myself…to meet the parts of me I had abandoned, to feel through the backlog of pain I had collected, and to become my own resource for holding it all with

compassion.

I realized that the patterns I carried weren’t my identity…they were survival strategies.

And once I understood that, everything shifted.

I learned how to meet myself with compassion instead of criticism. How to feel safe in my body and be attuned to my feelings and needs in any moment. How to stop defining my worth by what I achieved or who I was to others, and instead root myself in the unshakable knowing of my inherent worth.

Over time, I built something I never thought possible:

A life filled with deep love, security, and peace. A life that finally felt like mine. A version of myself I feel proud to embody.

Loving myself became the foundation for every beautiful thing I’ve created since.

And now, I help others do the same.

My work is about guiding you back to yourself—to the version of you that exists underneath the shame, the conditioning, and the survival patterns. It’s about helping you see that you were never broken, just carrying things that were never yours to hold alone.

No matter how deep your pain runs, no matter how impossible it feels…you can come home to yourself.

And when you do, everything changes.

And I mean… everything.
