About

“Being afraid has a purpose, being brave has a bigger one.”

I grew up in a tiny town in the middle of Massachusetts.  In my family traveling meant driving the hour and a half out to Cape Cod for a week each summer. I honestly had no idea people did things like traveled out of the country or spent an entire semester abroad (what??).  

I am a therapist and yes, my anxiety and my own experience with therapists inspired me to do this work. I have been a therapist for about 10 years now and have spent a lot of my career moving up in the corporate world managing teams, overseeing clinics, and directing programs while having a small private practice on the side.  I never thought I could ever do my work remotely… until March of 2020 when COVID hit.  

COVID has been challenging for all of us.  My particular struggles have been with living alone as a single woman feeling extremely isolated. I started questioning many things and came to the conclusion that if I was going to be alone and quarantining in Boston why not be alone and quarantining somewhere warm and where I wasn’t going on the same walk along the same block day after day.  I started making an itinerary of places I wanted to go especially where there would be a lot to do safely outside. 

My plan slowly came together so I resigned from my corporate job and opened up my private practice fulltime to give me complete control over my schedule, and hit the road on New Year’s Day 2021.  I am hoping by sharing my journey, especially how living with anxiety impacts my daily life, it will show others (and myself) that when we do hard things over and over they get easier.
