Holistic and compassionate support to individuals, couples, and parents on their path to healing from trauma.
My mission is to facilitate the journey of releasing unresolved trauma in a safe and nurturing space where individuals can explore their past with warmth, empathy, and guidance. With a heart-centered, empathetic, and nonjudgemental approach, I strive to ensure that all individuals feel seen, heard, and supported as they explore the intersections between past traumas and current challenges, paving the way for profound transformation and inner peace.

Collaboration
I believe in the power of collaboration and partnership in healing. I work alongside each person as an ally, empowering them to take an active role in their healing journey and fostering a sense of self-empowerment.
Like many, I bore the scars of past traumas.
However, these experiences ultimately became the catalyst for my healing. By uncovering the root causes of my struggles, I gained a deeper understanding of myself. Witnessing the transformative power of healing firsthand ignited my passion for guiding others on their journeys to wholeness. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in finding lasting peace and building lives empowered by self-discovery.
My Story
For over a decade, I have navigated the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, and in my twenties, I survived two separate instances of sexual assault. The devastating loss of my grandmother to suicide, coupled with battles against an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, and emotionally abusive relationships, further compounded my early traumas. These experiences, though incredibly challenging, ignited within me a profound passion for understanding the impact of trauma on the mind, body, and soul. From this place of empathy and lived experience, I approach my work as a trauma practitioner.
In response to these trials, I pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Human Development and a Master's Degree in Psychology. My professional journey led me to work as a psychologist within the school system, where I deepened my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This role allowed me to hone my skills and gain invaluable insights into the complexities of healing.
Today, I bring a deeply personal understanding to my practice. My approach is rooted in empathy and lived experience, acknowledging the intricate connections between past traumas and present struggles. I recognize how childhood wounds profoundly shape adult decision-making and life patterns.
