Who Am I?
I believe that inside of everyone is a fire; a source of resilience that is sparked by the authentic self, the version of you that reigns true and unfeigned. To embody this self, it takes work, commitment, and determination. The reward for your effort is profound. To exist in this world being authentically you is a gift and a source of strength that can help you to reach your unique potential, find a sense of internal harmony, and cultivate a genuine self-compassion for all that makes you, YOU.
A little about me: I completed my undergraduate work in psychology from Warner Pacific University in Portland, Oregon where I recently moved from a little over three years ago. I recently completed my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Aquinas College. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor adventures like skydiving, cliff jumping, whitewater rafting, hiking, kayaking, and exploring all that nature has to offer with my partner and my pooches Louis and Wren. I also love to read and write, so you may find me indulging in a book or writing short stories to feed the creative side of my soul.
