My Journey

I started on this path as many do to be free of uncomfortable symptoms - flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, negative thinking, unexplainable body symptoms, seemingly random crying spells, and a feeling of emptiness I couldn’t fill. Oh, and also because, like many therapists, I was determined to help others, but I didn’t yet know that I would be my own first client! As I continued along my healing path, I saw how each step in my own healing brought me to a deeper level of connection with my clients and my ability to be of service to them.  Ultimately the dual purpose of my own healing has been to embody purpose and passion in my life so that I can guide others to do the same and together we can help heal each other and the planet.   

Part of my journey has been developing an awareness of what I call nuanced trauma and its impact on me and validating its impact on others. It involves knowing that you have not necessarily experienced events or lived through things that are widely identified in our culture as traumatic and yet you are still carrying traumatic energy in your body, heart, and mind as a result of your life experiences and often the life experiences of those who came before you (intergenerational trauma). I am also a highly empathic and intuitive person and have come to understand how this has played a role in the trauma load I have carried.  

The single most powerful and transformative tool I have learned on my journey that not only heals stress and trauma at a physiological level but also connects us into deep wisdom within ourselves is EFT tapping. I was gifted this tool by my mentor, Dr. Lori Leyden, over 10 years ago and I am proud to say that it is still the number one tool in my toolbox for my own work and in my work with others. It is my journey with EFT that has allowed me to embody myself, my gifts, and my path and purpose in a way I did not understand existed until I experienced it myself. I am passionate about sharing this tool with others and I love witnessing the transformations it brings forth internally and externally in those who choose to engage with it

My Heart-centered Approach

I have learned to live my life from a heart centered place grounded in love. I transform the heavy energy of intergenerational and life trauma as well as stress, back to its original state of positive light-filled energy, for myself and others. I then use this energy, and guide others to do the same, to propel us forward on our paths of purpose and passion. I am here to be of deep service to myself, my family, my clients, my community, our world, and this planet. I don’t always know how it will unfold or what the next step will look like, but I have learned to trust the process and embody each step along the way with curiosity, compassion, and love.

I have spent my lifetime thus far cultivating the skills, consciousness, and presence needed to heal and grow through my own stressful and traumatic life experiences, as well as the stress and trauma that was passed down to me through my family system both energetically and genetically
