Building Confidence and Connection in Private Practice
One of the most powerful things I’ve learned in my journey is how important it is to trust myself. When I started my practice, it was easy to second-guess my decisions, but over time, I’ve come to realize that trusting my instincts is a key part of professional growth. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about knowing that I have the skills, knowledge, and heart to show up for my patients.

My journey began at the bedside, working as a nurse in critical care. It was intense, meaningful work, but over time, I realized that I wanted to do more—not just for patients in crisis, but for those navigating everyday struggles, particularly women.
