At 23, I got sober. I had my own rock bottom — not the kind that makes headlines, but the quiet kind that creeps up on you. My mental health was worsening, and I could see clearly where the path was headed. I reached a crossroads: choose differently, or remain the same. I chose differently.

Therapy was my first step, and it mattered. But what actually changed my life was something deeper — reconnecting with my mind, my body, and my soul. That gap between talking about healing and actually feeling it became the foundation of everything I do.

With 11.5 years of sobriety and over a decade of service in the field — as an addictions counsellor, yoga teacher, and mindfulness coach — I've watched one truth show up again and again: addiction is rarely just about substances. It's social media, food, shopping, sex. It's any behaviour we reach for when we can't bear to sit with the discomfort of being disconnected from ourselves. We end up trapped in the same habit loops, running on empty, wondering why nothing ever feels like enough.

Here's what I know: addiction isn't a moral failure. It's a coping pattern. One we learned because life felt too hard to face without it. I know this not just from the work — I know it because I've lived it. And I also know that willpower alone, or positive thinking alone, was never going to be enough to heal it.

The missing piece, for so many of us, is regulation. Our nervous systems are overwhelmed. We are so far outside ourselves that we've forgotten what it even feels like to be well.

My work sits at the intersection of clinical counselling, somatic healing, and mindfulness — because real recovery has to live in the body, not just the mind. This isn't about abstinence or white-knuckling your way through life. It's about understanding what genuinely feels good, what quietly depletes you, and building the capacity to move through your days with intention, presence, and awareness — rather than bouncing from burnout to burnout and calling it living.

You deserve to feel at home in yourself.
That's what I'm here to help you build.
