Self harm was my way of feeling something real when the emotional pain became unbearable. The physical act became a language for the chaos inside, a release of pressure from The unseen weight of trauma, addiction, and depression. I lived in fear - hiding scars, adjusting clothing and managing judgment from those I loved. Pain cause more pain; the cycle felt analyst. Yet, through recovery, I learned that self-harm does not define my worth. It taught me empathy, resilience, and the importance of being seen and heard. Now I got others through the darkness helping them understand their triggers, look for glimmers, find healthier outlets, and reclaim their life with hope, compassion, and self-love.

I didn't expect to spend so much time with myself in my 30s. Without a childhood bestie and/or long-term partner, the pandemic and associated remote work heightened the challenges of transient adult friendships and seeking a relationship offline. Bandage advice like joining Meetups may not work for the sensitive introvert. I'd love to help you navigate feelings of loneliness and share strategies for living contently and hopefully.

It has taken me a long time to figure out what I truly want in a romantic relationship and partnership. Honestly, it's still a vision I am constantly refining due to years of conditioning that taught me to self-sacrifice everything, including my identity. Growing up, I was never given the space to feel like I could claim freedom, honest self-expression and choice in my life and especially not in my dating life. From one dating lesson to the next, I’ve learned a lot about the modern dating landscape. Even with the endless array of choices, it is still difficult for women to carve out a vision for their relationships that is rooted in authenticity and true self-knowledge. If you also value creating a relationship where you feel truly empowered to be you, I’m offering this space to figure out the details of that vision together. Let's talk through the challenges of how to get everything you want while navigating this unprecedented modern dating landscape.

I had primary custody of my only child, who i cherished with my whole heart and my narcissistic ex knew it. He was abusive to me and my son throughout our entire relationship yet I was forced to share custody with him, being told that he would mess up eventually and I'll get sole custody when that happens. We'll, that didnt happen. Instead, my ex had my arrested and had my son taken from me since he was home when he had me arrested. When that happened, he knew I had spent all my money on the lawyer the first time we went for custody and I had nothing for a lawyer this time around. So he took me to court and took my son from me based on lies and untrue accusations. He held a smear campaign against me in my town, he has neighbors watch me and my house and report back to him. Because of this, I battle with major depressive disorder, severe anxiety disorder, PTSD, CPTSD. Plus Im also ADHD and I have chronic pain due to spinal stenosis. So if you're also a chronic pain sufferer, I feel ya!

I've walked through disillusionment and the dark night of the soul - when everything I thought I knew about life, success and even myself, fell apart. I did everything the world said would bring happiness & fulfillment, yet found only emptiness where meaning should have been. In that darkness, I was stripped bare - forced to face my pain, my conditioning, and the illusions I once called truth. But it was there, in the silence, that I began to heal. Piece by piece, I rediscovered what cannot be taken - the light within, the quiet resilience of spirit, the knowing that wholeness isn't something to earn but to remember. My journey through the depths became my awakening. Now I walk with others through their own darkness, helping them see that even when all seems lost, the soul is never without light, but only waiting to be found again.

I was faced with making a decision about an unexpected pregnancy twice in my life. Once at 17 and again at 25. The circumstances were different each time. At 17, my parents chose for me and at 25, I had to go through my own process to choose what was best for me. Both times, the choice was to terminate the pregnancy. It was the right decision for me each time. Both experiences had significant influence on my life and choices moving forward. I had to go through different grieving and healing processes for each termination. One thing I would have benefited from is someone to talk to who had been there.

Sometimes I just have a bad day. A day that I feel like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and nothing seems to go right. Some days it may just be little things that add up to make me feel stressed or a conflict with others. I've learned it's okay to have a bad day as long as I can learn from the bad day and reset to have a better day tomorrow.

Living with multiple invisible illnesses—like Crohn’s, Ehlers-Danlos, Lupus, POTS, MVP, MCAS & ADHD—can feel isolating & make socializing challenging- through many of life's stages. From the confusing teen years into the juggling game of marriage & parenthood, on into the sometimes lonely empty-nester years, I’ve navigated these experiences myself & can help you find purpose, connection & fulfillment- even in a disconnected world. In this session, we’ll explore ways to manage expectations & navigate daily challenges, embrace self-care & create meaningful routines that support your well-being & sense of belonging. We can also simply unpack & unload the burden you're carrying in this world that doesn't always seem built to embrace emotions that can often feel bigger than our capacity to carry them. More than anything I care that you feel heard when you speak with me, I aim to be a safe space, where you can discuss whatever you need to lighten your mental load & find peace.

Once I began to know better for myself and do better, I instantly felt the shift in the connections in my life. I felt more & more alone as what I thought held us together was no longer sustainable to maintain relationships with those from my past. That loneliness stepping into my new season of growth was intense, and made it feel so tempting to return to old habits that I knew deep down no longer aligned with my life's journey. Sometimes others were even hurtful towards me emotionally and verbally as we went our separate ways, and those feelings were difficult to navigate alone. Continuing along the path I knew was right for me, that I felt deep down in my gut and could see the proof of in my surroundings as more doors began to open was affirming, and I know I made the right choice as I am attracting the community that best supports the path that I am on today.

Disabled from birth I have struggled finding employment that is accessible to me as a blind person. Jobs that work with screen readers and locations easy to find transportation to have been challenges I've had. After several job opportunities I have found a job that I feel will be rewarding and enjoyable that I don't have to leave home for.

I grew up as a stepchild in a home where love felt scarce. My stepmother’s neglect left me with deep wounds—low self-worth, anxiety, and the belief that my value came from pleasing others. At 17, I moved out on my own, learning resilience but also carrying constant fear of making the wrong move. Later, as a single mother, I felt even more pressure to get life right while silently battling the patterns I didn’t know how to break. For 17 years, I pursued self-development, went back to school, and committed to deep inner healing. Today, I’ve transformed my past into power. My daughter lives a life filled with love and safety I once only dreamed of, and I’ve learned to create freedom from the inside out. Now I help women do the same—healing old wounds, reclaiming their worth, and stepping into lives filled with joy, possibility, and self-trust.

Growing up around addiction, poverty, and instability, I learned early on to cope by escaping my emotions however I could. As a teen and young adult, I turned to drugs and alcohol to numb myself, never thinking about the consequences. Even after surviving a house raid, an arrest, and a stay in a mental hospital, it took me years to confront the hold substances had on my life. Meanwhile, I found myself trapped in abusive relationships that mirrored the dysfunction I had grown up with. Through therapy, support groups, and a lot of inner child work, I slowly started to build a life based on self-respect rather than survival. I am now over two years sober from alcohol and several years free from drug use, continuing my healing journey with a focus on compassion and patience. I know how overwhelming it can be to untangle addiction from relationship trauma, and I want to be a steady, understanding presence for anyone facing that path today.

As a black, queer, androgynous ( yet mostly masc presenting, lately) person, when I walk into a room it is not uncommon to feel and perceive others viewing me and already assuming they know enough about me without ever even speaking to me. This makes interactions, great or small, difficult and uncomfortable. At first, I used to take responsibility for these assumptions and try my best to reshape their options, putting in a lot of unnecessary effort to gain their favor or at least be seen as their equal. With lots of self reflection of my triggers from past experiences and traumas, intentional commitment to using empowering tools such as affirmations, journaling and mindfulness, I now am at a point where I may observe these shifts in the rooms, and they do not shift me. I am able to take up loving space and show my own authentic light and offer grace and compassion to others recognizing that it may not always be personal, but personal for them, which is not my responsibility.I can be me

I’ve been consciously manifesting for almost a decade and although it can still feel like random magic to me sometimes, I’ve also figured out how simply creating space for visions and clearing resistance can make me instantly more magnetic to my desires. I have found it can expedite the process to have support in surfacing the unseen fears or assumptions that can interfere with manifestations coming through. It’s not always about repeating more affirmations or forcing belief (although those things can definitely help) sometimes speaking with someone in order to get clarity and remove internal friction is just what will move what you want towards you. Some of my favorite things I’ve manifested so far have been: my ideal 1 bedroom loft apartment in New York, $12k income months, multiple vacations where I can fully unwind and unplug, love that is expansive and inspiring, feeling alive and vital - but most importantly just a much higher self-concept rooted in self-love.

There was a time in my life when everything felt paused. I was between jobs, unsure of my next step, watching others move forward while I sat still. People would say, “Something will come along,” but the waiting felt like slow erosion. My self-worth was tied to progress, and without it, I felt small. I learned how to sit with the discomfort, how to extract meaning from stillness, and how to build a life that didn’t depend on a clear next chapter. I began to ask myself deeper questions about purpose, identity, and what truly mattered.

I lost my mom 13 years ago and my dad five years ago. The grief of losing your parents is quite significant, even if there is trauma in between. I am here to help navigate and vent about losing a loved one whether or under strain circumstances, or just not being able to have closure. I am here to uplift and validate. Grief anniversaries are hard, no matter how much time has passed. So many think that after a little bit of time, things are suddenly better and that’s not always the case.

Through my own experiences with intense emotional, spiritual, and worldview shifts, I’ve learned how lonely it can feel when what you’ve gone through is hard to explain or doesn’t fit neatly into everyday conversation. I’m here to listen and reflect with you on your inner experiences. I don’t provide guidance, I won’t instruct direction, and I don’t have all the answers. I understand that, more often than not, people don’t need advice or direction — they need a calm, respectful space to talk, reflect, and feel validated while they find their own understanding.
