It's okay not to be OK. Remission is possible. 

As a person who silently navigates life with an undiagnosed mental illness and who lives with suicide ideation, my passion is to PROMOTE mental illness and change how we TALK about mental health. 

I bring a lifetime of personal experience with mental illness to my work. As a suicide attempt survivor, I understand the isolation of stigma and the struggle for access to care. 

Unable to afford medication or consistent therapies due to cost and systemic failures, I had to find my own light in the darkness. 

Energy medicine was that light.

After 40 years, I work to keep my mental illness in remission. 

Throughout my wellness journey, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power alternative healing modalities have on creating lasting change in my mental health, especially Reiki (energy medicine) and storytelling.
