I am a guide on your family’s healing path, in this space because of my own journey. As a child and teenager, I coped with pain through self-harm, disordered eating, and other dangerous behaviors. I went through multiple treatment interventions, from hospitalization to wilderness therapy. When I left treatment, I was functional on the surface, free of “problem behavior” and addiction, but still at war with myself. So I committed to recovery. Through incredible teachers, communities, and modalities, I completely shifted my life. I now use my experiences and insight to support people going through their own challenges. I believe that teenagers are a widely misunderstood group. They have phenomenal awareness, creativity, and capacity to grow. Most teenager’s struggles come from their sensitivity, and the beliefs they form about their worth. As a mentor, I guide teens through understanding their emotions and beliefs, learning new tools for self-regulation, and rediscovering their innate wholeness and power. I also work with parents to best support their child’s healing, and share writing on mental health and wellbeing.
