For much of my life, I lived with depression and the weight of avoidant personality disorder. I often felt like life was just happening to me: running on autopilot, stuck in old patterns, and unable to see that my experiences could hold meaning. Everything began to shift when I started therapy eight years ago and opened myself to spirituality. I learned to gently explore my patterns, understand where they came from, and accept every part of myself, even the parts I once wished away. Life isn’t perfect, but I’ve found a balance that feels deeply fulfilling and real. It didn’t happen overnight; it came through small steps, trial and error, and a lot of self-compassion. Those years taught me that change is possible, no matter how stuck you feel. Now, I’m here to help you find your own version of balance. To cope in healthier ways, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward a life that feels like it’s truly yours.
