Welcome!

My mission is to teach you how to improve your life, decrease your stress and overwhelm, and increase your productivity in a way that is validating, self-compassionate, and (dare I say) even a little fun.

​

No matter what you're dealing with, I want you to know a couple things:

​

1. You are enough, just as you are. You're not broken, you're not weird, you're not lazy, you're not a screw-up, and you're not a bad person.

​

2. No matter how bad things seem, they can get better.

​

3. You are not alone! We are all travelers figuring out the way forward together.

​

4. You deserve help, support, love, respect, just because you're you.

ABOUT ME

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist, mom, and mental health advocate. Through my training and my own struggles, I've come to understand how important it is to engage in self-improvement in a way that is compassionate. â€‹

WHAT I DO

I started creating free mental health and wellness resources on my blog, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook with a mission to make self-improvement more compassionate and provide access to mental health information and resources.

​

What started as informational in nature quickly became quite personal. I've developed a following of about 1.8 million fellow travelers with whom I've shared my struggles and triumphs.
