Speaking and Media

A bit about 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 and OCD. 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.
