My Story:

There’s always a story behind all of the shininess and accomplishments. I’d like to share mine. My life started off as a fairytale. I was born to doting parents and was a certified daddy’s girl. I grew up surrounded by so much love that I had no choice but to succeed. Graduating from medical school was the culmination of a life-long dream coming true because I had wanted to be a doctor as long as I could remember. Not to mention, how my parents grin with pride every tine that they get to talk about their “doctor daughter.” I was checking all of the boxes and making my parents proud, so I had no idea a curve ball was coming. I, like a lot of women, was taught that you go to school, get an education, be a good girl, and the husband, kids, and great job will come. I not only found myself without even a boyfriend, let alone a husband, childless, but I also ended up in a job that I was not only overworked but was not always getting paid.

My morning ritual became curling up in a ball in the shower and crying before going to work every day because I was exhausted and drained before my day even began. I wondered how I could seemingly do everything right, but still end up in such a soul sucking situation where my dreams felt twisted and so far away. This inspired me to discover my passion for no one else to have to feel the agony of feeling powerless and suffocated. That is why I have embraced my gifts and skills for understanding human behavior as a psychiatrist to transition into integrative life coaching to creatively empower women to identify their own actual dreams and desires, remove roadblocks, and attain their happy on their terms.
