A Note To My Visitors
I have struggled with anxious thoughts throughout my life. From a young age, I was in therapy, but I still didn’t find lasting relief from my worries and fears. Then, in May 2019, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer—a life-altering moment. Anxiety and fear became an overwhelming force in my life.
Let me explain how I discovered a way out of being controlled by anxiety. At the encouragement of a nurse navigator, I joined a meditation support group. This experience opened the door to mindfulness, which became a powerful tool in my healing and in managing the intense stress of my treatments.
Learning to train my mind to stay in the present moment and not be trapped in endless catastrophic thoughts helped calm my anxiety, improve my sleep, manage my pain, and bring a sense of balance and hope back into my life.
Inspired by my own transformation, I wanted to share the practices I learned that helped me heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.
This work is from my heart. I know the pain of anxiety, but I also know the way through - to be happier, more relaxed, and more optimistic about the future. Helping others find peace, just like I did, is what I’m meant to do.
If something in my story speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.
You’re not alone—and when you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support, and guide you.
My Vision
My Vision is to create a world where no one feels alone and no one is ruled by the constant cycle of anxious thoughts, fears, or worries - where they can navigate life’s changes - where healing, peace, and clarity are within reach, even in life’s hardest moments.
My Mission
My Mission is to support others through anxiety, fear, and life’s uncertainties with compassionate, innovative, practical, and effective solutions. By quieting racing thoughts, reconnecting to the present moment, and rediscovering inner calm, they will no longer have to walk their path alone.

Trusting the Unknown
Taking Chances, Going with the Flow, and Being Open to Change
When life shifts unexpectedly, our first instinct, our automatic reaction, is often to clench our fists, to hold on to what feels familiar and known, to control what we can, to protect ourselves from uncertainty.
But what if the very thing we are resisting lies hidden behind the very walls we've built to protect ourselves?
The unknown can feel daunting and intimidating. It challenges our comfort zone, wrestling with anxiety, and invites all those “what if” thoughts bouncing around our minds. Yet underneath that discomfort is an opportunity: a chance to soften, breathe, and watch your world expand in ways you never imagined.
Learning to trust the unknown doesn’t mean pretending everything feels easy or clear. It means finding a gentle strength inside yourself, a quiet confidence that says, “Even though I don’t know what's coming next, I know I can handle it.” The journey into unchartered territories may be filled with trepidation. Yet, it's important to confront these head-on.
When you pause and breathe with intent, into the present moment, something shifts. You begin to see that uncertainty isn’t your enemy. It’s part of the natural rhythm of life and you begin to see things unfold in astonishing and unexpected ways.
Life ebbs and flows with moments of clarity and moments of fog. We need both; both essential in the grand scheme. In times like these, I find comfort in visualizing the ocean tides - the constant advance and retreat of the waves. Here, I find my comfort, cradled by the rhythmic motion of life.
Taking chances doesn’t always mean making big leaps, taking large risks. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying yes to what’s here. Saying yes to another attempt. Yes to a new path. Yes to the possibility that this change might be leading you somewhere fantastic. It’s the courage to say yes to this moment, to renewal, to possibility, to the unfolding of your next beautiful chapter. Where will your yes take you today?
When you learn to go with the flow, you stop fighting relentless tides. You begin to float . . not because you’ve given up, but because you've learned to trust the water to carry and cradle you in its buoyant embrace.
Every ending you’ve faced has paves the way to something new. Every challenge uncovers a strength within you. And even when the path ahead feels foggy, you can still take one mindful, intentional, fearless step at a time.
So this week, I invite you to pause, to soften your expectations, to take a breath and repeat to yourself:
“I don’t need to have it all figured out.”
“I trust how I will deal with what comes.”
Peace doesn’t come from knowing what’s next. It comes from trusting that you’ll know how to meet it when it arrives.
Takeaway Practice
At least once today, when you feel uncertain or anxious:
Close your eyes and take three slow breaths.
With each exhale, silently repeat: “I trust the flow of my life.”
Notice how your body softens.
Your thoughts quiet.
Your heart opens just enough to let peace back in.
