Hello!

I'm so thrilled to meet you! I am a software developer and technical lead with a creative and contemplative streak! In addition to engineering, I also love dance, music, design and of course helping people overcome their dis-empowering perspectives on themselves and their lives.

​

I've always been someone to contemplate why I am the way I am, why others are the way they are, and the patterns we see in those around us as well as ourselves. I've always felt a bit misunderstood, which caused me to have to work extra hard to communicate what I'm thinking and feeling. Eventually I discovered that I am the Myers-Briggs type INFJ. Everything made soooo much since after that!

​

For much of my life, I struggled with depression and anxiety. After college, once I was in the working world, I got to a point where I wondered - is this it? I was taught that if I worked hard and did everything right, I would be happy. And here I was, having accomplished everything I was supposed to do, finally in the working world, and I felt no different. In fact I felt worse, because now I felt stuck and stagnant. That's when I started seeking.

​

In 2012 I had what I guess you could call a spiritual awakening. Suddenly I saw the world in a whole new way. This further opened up my ability to process my own thoughts and emotions as well as understand others better.

​

Once I started on my journey, the first and most eye-opening book I read was The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. It really shows you how you are not your thoughts, and how the things you despise and wish would go away are actually only noticed by you because you've assigned meaning to it. That blew me away.

​

Since then, I've read so many other books, including Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson, May Cause Miracles by Gabby Bernstein and of course Growing into Grace by one of my mentors, Mastin Kipp. I began practicing Kundalini yoga and meditating. I began pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and into a world of possibilities.

​

Everything I worked through in my soul work allowed me to cure my depression (without any medication). Each day my anxiety becomes better and better. I now understand what "Joy" and "Gratitude" really are, because they felt like such silly nonsense concepts to me before. Naive concepts.

​

I know that I have a perspective that can help others that were like me. I know there are others out there desperately wanting to see the light, but not being able to. I want to use what I've learned in order to give you hope and start helping you walk your way back from these issues. As with anything, overcoming depression and anxiety is much easier said than done, and will take a frustrating amount of time. However, what I found with myself was that with each step, I found more and more self-respect and courage, as well as believed in my new perspectives more and more. I was collecting evidence. Evidence that discredited my previous beliefs and emotions, and empowered me to become the strong and confident woman I am today. No, scratch that - REVEALED the strong and confident woman that I always was but didn't realize. And that's the point. It's just your perspective that's holding you back. And it takes a hell of a lot of excavating and work to adjust it, but together, we can absolutely do it.
