And I believe healing isn't about fixing what's broken
Twenty years ago, therapy changed my life. Five years ago, it transformed my marriage and family. Now, as a trauma therapist with my own lived experience of attachment wounding and nervous system healing, I get it on a level that goes beyond clinical training.
I spent much of my life people-pleasing, chasing perfection, and still feeling like I wasn’t enough. It impacted every aspect of my life: friendships, my marriage, even how I saw myself. I thought these were just personality flaws, part of who I was. but therapy helped me see those struggles for what they were: survival strategies I could heal and rewrite.
Through my own therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, I began unweaving those patterns and practicing staying connected to myself instead of self-abandoning. Over time, the burnout eased, the anxiety quieted, and I began to feel more joy, more connection, and more alive. I stopped feeling broken all the time and started building a life I love, guided back to the parts of myself that had been buried, not lost.
