After nearly two decades in high-stakes clinical medicine, I found myself overwhelmed, exhausted, and desperately unhappy. I was grappling with severe burnout, stress, and CPTSD that left me feeling disconnected and lost. Harsh self-judgment and low self-esteem fueled unhealthy habits and destructive patterns that almost cost me my life and livelihood.

​

I had lived outside of myself for so long that I didn't even recognize that my internal compass was lost.

​

My relentless drive was a finely tuned survival mechanism running since childhood, built on a foundation of early life trauma and lifelong dysregulation. I mistakenly believed my intense, chronic stress was “normal”. 

 

In 2019 I hit rock bottom. My system experienced a complete rupture and I found myself contemplating suicide as I watched my life unravel. This wasn't a failure of willpower; it was the moment my body finally stopped screaming and shut down. This breakdown became the most profound, painful education of my life, initiating my healing journey.

​

It was through yoga, meditation, and energy healing that I began to reconnect with my body and learn to be present again. As my personal practices deepened, I uncovered the deeper patterns driving my choices. This included the realization that my lifelong dysregulation manifested in unhealthy relationship dynamics, like people-pleasing and mistaking familiarity for genuine safety. I realized I wasn't fully following my passions. 

I eventually made the courageous decision to leave my financially secure career in 2021 to create the necessary space for deep healing and growth.

​

Through this process, I realized the true enemy wasn't lack of time or a poor attitude. Burnout isn't a mindset, it's a biological emergency, rooted in a nervous system that feels unsafe at its core.

​

My current work is defined by the powerful and authentic fusion of advanced clinical knowledge and lived somatic experience.

​

I am dedicated to guiding high-performing women–the leaders, the caretakers, the relentless achievers–toward the inner safety and regulation I fought for.

My mission is to give you the neurobiological map I had to piece together alone.
