I’m thrilled to share that I was recently featured on the Spoken Word by Anamika podcast, where I opened up about my journey through grief and loss in an emotional open letter to myself. These experiences shaped me into the mental health therapist I am today, teaching me the power of vulnerability in healing.
Life has a way of teaching us through its hardest moments. For me, navigating profound grief and loss was a pivotal chapter that reshaped how I see myself and the world.
In the podcast, I share how these experiences—of heartache, resilience, and self-discovery—carved a path toward understanding the depths of human emotion. Losing loved ones and facing personal challenges forced me to confront my own vulnerability, to sit with the pain, and to find meaning in it.
On the podcast, I also explore how words can transform pain into growth, a principle I bring to my work helping clients reframe their stories and rewire subconscious patterns using trauma-focused approaches like EMDR and clinical hypnosis.
The Spoken Word by Anamika podcast celebrates healing through storytelling, and my episode reflects how embracing vulnerability led me to my calling as a therapist licensed in Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Oregon.
