Trauma Therapist, Mom and Recovering "Good" Kid


I'm a Recovering Burned Out, Overachieving, People Pleasing, Perfectionist, Pushover + former "Good" Kid turned Trauma Therapist and Mom. Breaking generational cycles of trauma for my kids is wonderful and the best thing ever...and also freaking exhausting 💛 

I specialize in healing "Good" Kid Trauma and “Good Girl” Trauma — healing from the hidden struggles of always being the one who followed the rules, avoided conflict, and worked tirelessly to meet everyone else’s needs. I know the cost of striving to be “perfect." It's freaking exhausting.

I help you understand yourself on a profound and healing level so you can be the parent you needed to your inner child. AND your child, if you're a parent.

I'm the Founder of ✨Camp Lovable,✨ a relentlessly supportive Community and transformative Workshops to help women break free from People Pleasing, suppressing your feelings and needs, and feeling not good enough — so you can finally freaking love and be kind to yourself 💛

I'm also a Parenting Expert + the Founder of ✨Parenting With Perspectacles✨, where I teach about Big Feelings + Accountability with LOVE not shame for toddlers + teens + everyone in between. So you can raise kind, confident kids who feel good enough!

I am so glad you're here!

10 years ago, I was a mom-to-be, terrified I would screw up my kid. I did so, so much therapy to desperatley try to heal myself. 

I’d estimate I’ve spent more than HALF of my 16 years in Trauma Therapy myself trying to figure out WHY I felt like I didn’t deserve love. My road led back to how I was disciplined as a kid...so high up on my list was figuring out how to raise kids who actually feel lovable AND deserving of love.

I was the “mature” kid who was ALWAYS respectful + well-behaved.

And I have spent my entire life recovering. Figuring out who the heck am I, under all the anxiety + perfectionism + people pleasing + self-hate + feeling not good enough + fear of making people mad + fear of letting others down.

If you’ve spent a lifetime trying to keep everyone happy — smoothing edges, silencing your needs, and perfecting your “good girl” act — I get it! I was you, too. For years, I lived as a burned out, overachieving, people pleasing, perfectionist pushover and shape-shifting chameleon...terrified that being “too much” would cost me love and belonging.

This page is about me, sure, but more importantly, it’s really about us. There was never anything wrong with me, athough many versions of my along the way would have really argued that there was.

And there was never anything wrong with you, deep down, either. The struggles you’re carrying aren’t personal failures; they’re old survival patterns. I’m here to show you that not only can you break free and find your voice...you deserve to 💛✨
