A mission born from experience

To heal from my childhood, I have gained wisdom and grace by learning how to sit through the depth of my pain and sorrow. Many times, I had to learn the hard way. I am grateful for these times of darkness, as they taught me to start with the pinhole of light.​

My passion is to use the teachings from my own healing journey and support others’ transformation of challenges into wisdom, expansion of their heart, and deepening of spiritual presence.

My experience as a school counselor, trauma therapist, instructor, and relationship and leadership coach draws on a wide range of approaches. I have studied mainstream techniques, as well as, shamanic healing, psycho-spiritual rituals and ceremony, bioenergetics, Energy Psychology, dyad communication, grief and loss ceremonies, Restorative Touch Energy Work, Tantra, EMDR, Enlightenment Intensives, Brain Health, Neuroleadership and Authentic Leadership.

I maintain a state license (LMHC) and national certification (NCC). I am an Ordained Minister and a Certified Spiritual Healer.​

​I have been featured on the Vibrational Health Radio Show, where I coached parents to raise responsible, capable, and conscious children. I have counseled deaf and hearing children and youth in schools on a wide range of issues, as well as provide in-home family intervention for conflict resolution and effective communication.

​I have enjoyed volunteering at a shelter with women and children who had experienced domestic violence, being a youth activity coordinator (including ropes course facilitation), and facilitating Parenting with Love and Logic classes.

These experiences have been my path of evolution.

My mission is to honor these teachings by supporting your healing journey.​ You deserve confidence, clarity, and compassion for yourself. You deserve to live authentically, whatever that means to you. I can help you heal from your past and live more fully in the present. Together we create personalized tools that release the armor and barriers to your joy.
