Every day, Buzz, my pug, reminds me of the joy in simply being.
My own journey has shaped how I show up—for myself and for others. I practice mindful and restorative techniques like Ho’oponopono, breath-work, cold immersion, and daily affirmations to cultivate balance and presence. Simple things that bring me joy include walking, being in nature, reading, and journaling.
I’m a mom to two kind and thoughtful boys and a proud paw mom. I share a loving, supportive relationship with my life partner and am deeply grateful for my parents and ancestors, whose strength and wisdom continue to guide and inspire me every day. They remind me of the power found in connection and everyday love.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking a deeper sense of presence and purpose, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique path.
About me
For me, healing is a holistic journey—one that embraces not only the mind, but also the body, relationships, and the world we live in. I believe true transformation unfolds in every thought, feeling, and action. This path is deeply personal, yet universally human, and has helped me cultivate resilience, purpose, and presence in all areas of life.
Healing is an evolving process—one that invites us to grow, adapt, and reconnect with ourselves and others in deeper, more meaningful ways. By honoring the past, embracing the present, and staying open to the future, we create space for lasting change rooted in self-awareness and compassion.
My Qualifications
With advanced degrees in Professional Counseling, Family Sciences, and Sociology, I bring a well-rounded perspective to therapeutic care. I am a Master-Level Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) Therapist, EMDR-trained by Compassion Works, and Neurofeedback Level 1 certified by the Center of Brain, Jupiter, Florida. My training includes Ross Rosenberg’s SLDD framework on codependency and narcissism, trauma workshops with Bessel van der Kolk, and MRT Trauma certification, reflecting my dedication to trauma-informed healing and personal transformation.
My Approach & Philosophy
My practice emphasizes the mind-body connection, particularly when addressing trauma. Through mindful awareness and somatic techniques, we release emotional and physical imprints of trauma. My holistic approach includes:
Emotional regulation
Managing stress, anxiety, and triggers using mindfulness, breathwork, and grounding techniques.
Conflict resolution
Building effective communication, empathy, and active listening skills to foster healthier relationships.
Self-awareness and resilience
Enhancing emotional resilience and insight through reflection, journaling, and self-assessment.
Mind-body integration
Connecting with your body and emotions through somatic exercises, movement therapies, and mindfulness practices.
