Soul Growth
Life is not about a destination; it's an unfolding odyssey where we forge an authentic life fueled by purpose, meaning and truth.
About Me

I'm a former licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience working with at-risk youth and young adults. My journey is grounded in personal transformation—rooted in resilience, identity loss, disillusionment, and the life-changing power of healing.
For the first 16 years of my life, I was known as a gifted athlete. Sports gave me an identity, confidence, and sense of belonging. But everything changed between ages 16 and 17—first with a devastating leg injury, then with torn knee ligaments, then with the tragic death of my best friend's brother in a car crash.
That season broke me. For the next decade, I spiraled into depression, anxiety, and emotional isolation. I began to believe I wasn't enough—something was wrong with me-destined to fail. But eventually, I found a way forward. I reached out. I grieved. I challenged the narratives holding me back. I learned self-compassion—and in doing so, became more compassionate toward others.
That inner shift changed everything. My healing became my calling. Today, it's my mission to give teeangers a roadmap for their lives. I am championing the dire need for spiritual growth, resilience and human connection. I can offer these tools of wisdom I never had in highschool.
Public Speaking
Today's teenagers are navigating an overwhelming world—stressed out, uncertain, and often feeling alone. I know what that feels like. I lived there for nearly a decade. But I also know the way forward. There is a path to healing, hope, purpose, and strength—and that message needs to be heard.
I often think, "If only I had known then what I know now." That's why I speak—to offer what I needed most at that age: self-awareness, clarity, encouragement, connection, and a reminder that your story is still unfolding.
Speaking allows me to share my passion and purpose to inspire kids. With my experience as a therapist and one who struggled as young adult, I can relate to kids today. I meet them where they are and show them what's possible. I speak because I want them to develop confidence and enthusiasm about their future.
