I was in an abusive marriage. I was verbally abused daily. My husband was in charge of the money. There was a period of time that he would not buy food for the house. He would always say that we didn’t have any money for food. Later I found out that he had loaned someone $800 during that time.There were a couple of times that he became physically abusive. I got to where I would always have a bag packed. He alienated me from my family and friends. There were a couple times that I thought suicide was the only way out. As a way to stay in control, he would call the police to the house when I was frustrated with how he treated me and showed favoritism towards his kids. His kids are in school. I always found it odd that he would always want to sleep with them, especially after learning of his childhood abuse. He had everyone around us fooled, keeping a perfect image in front of all of his friends. I want to be a help to abuse and trauma survivors.

I discovered my purpose by getting honest about what fear was trying to protect. For years, imposter syndrome kept me circling the edges of my own life. I questioned my voice, minimized my gifts, and waited for certainty before taking up space. What I eventually realized was that fear would continue to have me fall short of my dreams if I didn't learn to sit through the fear to arrive at something meaningful. Purpose became clearer when I stopped trying to outrun fear and started understanding it. Through self-awareness, I learned to notice my patterns instead of ignoring them. Through curiosity, I began asking better questions—about my values, my instincts, and the parts of me that wanted to be expressed but hadn’t felt safe yet. This work isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about recognizing who you already are beneath the doubt and noise. I help people slow down, listen inward, and build a relationship with themselves that’s rooted in curiosity rather than self-c

For most of my life, it felt like I was trying to fit into a role I was never meant for. I was always the "black sheep" in my family or the "weird" one, which left me feeling disconnected and unsure of myself. That path led me through some really tough times with depression, not knowing where I'd live, and the quiet pain of friendships just fading away. Through all of it, I fought with that constant feeling of being an imposter, like nothing I did was ever truly good enough. A crisis that left me homeless for a second time forced me to start completely over, but it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. In that quiet space of rebuilding, I finally learned how to set real boundaries, manage my own emotional stress, and find my way back to creating music. I also realized that helping other people feel seen is one of the most powerful ways to heal. So now, I'm here to offer a listening ear and a steady presence for anyone navigating their own tough challenges.

For a long time, I prioritized others before myself. I thought this was my love language, but I didn't realize I was actually neglecting myself and performing for others. With this mindset, I accepted abusive relationships and often engaged in people-pleasing, which drained me for years. After my father's unexpected passing, I started going to therapy and began to see life from a different perspective. It felt as though a part of me had died along with him, which opened my eyes to the fact that I needed healing. Now, I stand here with healthy boundaries, understanding that it's okay to choose myself first and then care for others. My relationship with God has grown closer, and I finally feel like I'm walking in my purpose. While I continue to help people, I do so in a healthier way with established boundaries. My children are my pride and joy, and I'm teaching them about healthy boundaries by being a living example.

There was a time when I didn’t recognize myself after years of surviving instead of living, supporting my family from a young age, navigating grief, motherhood, and losing a child. I know what it feels like to wake up and feel disconnected from your own body and identity. Through slow healing, therapy, community, and remembering my voice, I rebuilt myself piece by piece. Now I hold space for others walking that same path back home to themselves.

For a long time, I lived disconnected from myself constantly strong for others, but silent about my own pain. I carried grief, hormonal shifts, and emotional scars in my body until it began to speak louder than I did. My healing began when I finally slowed down, listened within, and rebuilt safety in my own nervous system, not through force but through compassion, softness, and truth. That journey taught me the power of presence not fixing, not advising, but witnessing without judgment. Friends and even strangers started opening their hearts to me naturally, and I discovered my gift: helping people feel seen, safe, and less alone in the parts of themselves they’ve been afraid to face. Now, I hold space for others the way I once needed gently, honestly, and with deep respect for their pace and lived experience.

There was a season where everything fell apart — emotionally, physically, spiritually. I lost relationships, identity, confidence, and direction. Rebuilding wasn’t pretty, but it was powerful. Now I help others find clarity and confidence when life feels upside down.

I have always been someone that struggles with creating boundaries and understanding and holding true to boundaries, in order to protect my peace of mind and mental health and have always struggled to prioritize what is important, and to help me not to be stressed out once i make my decisions and learning how to create daily, weekly, and monthly priorities and obligations that must be done, versus things i would like to do or have time to do. Ive had to set up accountability reminders and journal entries in order to hold myself accountable, as well as have other people to hold me accountable to myself.

As someone that has multiple health conditions, I have learned that while I may have pain, and while i may experience so many emotions, I have learned to be vulnerable through those conditions and I have learned how to open up, and to still respect my boundaries of my emotions, and ive learned to grow as a person who wants to develop my leadership abilities to help others change their lives and help others become the person that they want to be

I've battled knowing who i am for a long time, and after years of continuing to work on myself i found skills that have helped me to be more readily willing to share and open up, and to know and believe in my self worth and to overcome negative self talk and feelings of unworthiness, and feeling unloved, and ashamed. i found the strength to see myself for who i am through my own eyes instead of the eyes of others.

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 found body doubling about 2 years ago when going through a depression and needed help to get things done. It was a warm, supportive space where I didn't have to do it alone. Here we show up together, set gentle goals, and move through tasks side-by-side. Perfect if you're overwhelmed, anxious, procrastinating, or just need grounding energy to get things done. So if you work better when someone is quietly holding space with you then this session gives you emotional support and gentle accountability while you complete tasks: big or small.

Music reaches places inside us that conversation sometimes can't, and healing often begins when we allow ourselves to feel again. In this space, we use music as emotional reflection, expression, and connection. You can bring a song(s) that resonates with you, or we can choose one together based on what you're feeling. We’ll listen in the chat/screenshare and explore the emotions, memories, insights, and meanings that arise. Or we can just hang out and jam :) I've held 200+ Healing Through Music sessions on ShareWell, a peer-support platform, and it’s one of the most powerful ways people open up, self-discover, and find emotional release without pressure or judgment.

My first awakening came at 23, when everything in my life suddenly simplified into one undeniable truth: love is what matters most. Not success, not perfection, not external validation: just love. Many near-death experiencers describe this same realization, that love is the core of everything: and I felt that truth awaken in me so clearly that it changed how I saw life, people, and purpose. Years later, in my 40s, a second awakening arrived: quieter at first, then powerful and expansive. Through deep meditation and the Gateway Experience, my inner world opened. My intuition sharpened, my awareness deepened, and abilities I never expected: psychic sensitivity, mediumship, subtle perception began to unfold naturally. Whether you're feeling expanded, confused, curious, or in transition, I help you make sense of what’s unfolding, stay rooted, and integrate your insights with clarity and emotional safety.

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.

For years, I noticed a pattern in my life: relationships that didn’t work, family that criticized, jobs that felt unfulfilling, and efforts that seemed invisible. I complained, gave more, hoped people would see my value—but nothing changed. I felt stuck, frustrated, and like a victim. Eventually, I realized that waiting for others to validate me wasn’t the answer. I had to take responsibility for my own goals, dreams, and needs. It was scary because it meant I alone held the power to succeed—or fail. Through reflection and intentional changes, I slowly regained confidence, learned to make choices that served me, and discovered what it truly means to feel in control of my life.

Can't tell you how often I chased a broken idea of self-improvement; trying to eliminate "flaws," and constantly striving for an ideal version of myself that felt out of reach. The more I pushed toward that impossible standard, the more disconnected I felt. But growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about exploration. We evolve not by erasing the parts of us we struggle with, but by understanding them, accepting them, and finding authentic ways to move forward. Philosophy has played a huge role in reshaping how I approach self-development, helping me see life less as a rigid path. It can be hard to navigate the tension between self-acceptance and wanting to grow—breaking free from unrealistic expectations and exploring self-reflection in a way that actually feels fulfilling. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re "not enough," let’s take a step back. It doesn’t have to be about fixing—it can be about understanding and embracing the complexity of who you are.

There were times in my life when I felt completely untethered, unsure of where I was headed, doubting whether I had anything meaningful to offer the world. I went through phases of chasing achievements, external validation, or whatever seemed like the ‘right’ next step, hoping it would give me a sense of purpose. But it never felt quite right. Eventually, I realized purpose isn’t something you stumble upon in a single moment—it’s something that evolves, shifts, and grows with you. It’s about understanding your values, what truly resonates with you, and how you want to engage with the world. And sometimes, the first step is simply allowing yourself the space to ask questions without pressure to have all the answers right away. Through peer support, I’ve helped others explore what purpose means to them—not as an obligation, but as a process of discovery. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or lost in the "what’s next?" of life, I get it. Let’s take the time to navigate it together.

I know what it’s like to second-guess everything and feel like an imposter in rooms where everyone else seems more confident, more capable, more 'put together.' I’ve battled those thoughts in friendships, work, creative projects, and more. No matter how much I accomplished, that little voice telling me I wasn’t enough kept creeping in. Over time, I’ve learned that imposter syndrome isn’t a sign that you aren’t capable—it’s often a reflection of deep self-awareness, high standards, and past experiences that made you doubt your worth. Working through it isn’t about silencing those thoughts completely; it’s about recognizing them, questioning them, and learning how to move forward anyway. Through peer support, I’ve helped others navigate these feelings—validating their fears while uncovering strategies to build confidence in who they are. You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone. You just have to see it for yourself.

My life has been a journey through pain, loss, and resilience. I grew up with I felt was an abusive parent and lost another at a young age. I survived a 15-year abusive marriage, faced infertility, and was blessed with twins through IVF. I became a caregiver to my terminally ill spouse and later endured the heartbreak of losing both my spouse and later one of my children who was 24 years old. Alongside these losses, I’ve faced my own health challenges and disability. For years, constant crisis defined my life, and when it finally quieted, I struggled to live what others call a “normal.” life. Through it all, I’ve learned that even in darkness, growth and hope remain possible. I’ve dedicated my career to helping others survive and heal—abused children, sex-trafficking survivors, women in crisis, and parents rebuilding their lives. Life is hard, but you can survive—and thrive.
