Speaking & Media

A bit about my me...
Two decades of work in the mental health field has allowed
me the privilege to witness people on their journey towards
mental wellness.
My burning passion for this work originated from my
personal journey towards mental wellness. Growing up with
a father who struggled with alcohol addiction and depression
led to ongoing anxiety as a child and young adult while a
traumatic birth experience resulted in post partum
depression and anxiety. These are my greatest gifts. They
have allowed me to experience first-hand what it means to
do the inner work.
I combine my professional and personal experience to
provide your audience with an honest, vulnerable, engaging
and dynamic workshop, presentation or other speaking
event.
