For years, I built my practice with professionalism and integrity at the center — priding myself on always “walking the walk.” Yet, my subconscious knew that the guise of professionalism was out of alignment with my true self.

My client’s were making significant progress and reaching milestones that they never thought possible. Yet, I could hear a quiet whisper in the back of my mind, wondering if they weren’t becoming too dependent on my role in their lives — looking to me as the “expert.”

As a fellow human, I knew that it was normal that I too would struggle with personal and professional challenges and that not even a therapist would have all the answers.

However, releasing the identity of the expert role and navigating the ethical challenge of bridging my personal and professional identities felt tricky without a clear blueprint.

My heart was craving a space to be my WHOLE self, and to share more of my humanness with my clients — for my own sake as well as theirs.

The first step I took towards this new more aligned and authentic path was to step away from my practice entirely. Creating space just to be me.

As a relatively new mom, my identity had already shifted in dramatic ways that I had yet to process. This time away, was more welcomed than I anticipated.

The next step involved a significant amount of self-analysis, shadow work, and yes, even my own therapy.

I explored different roles, identities and passions. Followed my curiosity and excitement. Gained a deeper understanding of my true self and personality.

Little by little, I began to envision a future and a practice built on a foundation of authenticity and alignment with my true self while maintaining the skills and tools that have served so many of my clients.

Ironically, I learned that authenticity is integrity and nothing could be more professional than alignment with your true self.

In this version of my therapy & coaching practice, I aim to be a model and a guide toward your own inner expertise so that you may create a life fully in alignment with your true self and authentic desires.
