Teachers
& Training:

Through my 18 years of personal healing work, spiritual, religious, mythological, cultural and psychological study, from bodywork mecca of Santa Fe, New Mexico to the Amazon basin of Peru, and despite studying with some of the greatest teachers, and learning healing practices that seemed to work for everyone else around me, I continued to sense something within myself that made me feel small, stuck, and secretly, inherently, shamefully and fatefully broken

​

Despite my 'accomplishments' in life I still felt like an alien, an outsider, a failure, a performer looking-in on my own incredible, but out of reach, life. I experienced increasing anxiety, dysregulating emotions causing melt-downs, cycles of pushing too hard and exhaustive collapse, an inability to bring any of my visions into real life no matter how badly I tried, a berating internal critic, resentment, guilt, and the dreaded subsequent shame spirals that I'd be "found out" for my weaknesses, and ultimately abandoned by everyone I loved.

​

My parents divorced when I was three and I experienced extreme parental alcoholism, drug use, neglect, home-life instability, motherlessness, witnessed domestic abuse and multiple arrests, and lived in intense emotional and psychological abuse and gaslighting, but where I was raised in a "nice home", in a "nice neighborhood"- it took me until I was 36 years old to finally see the unseeable- my entire sense of self was balancing on a fragile house of cards of doing, performing, fawning, giving, care-taking, bending over backwards and people pleasing, and self-denying. I was empty, felt invisible, and was unknowingly internalizing the abandonment wounds of my childhood. 

 

But because I was raised to be a highly-skilled perfectionist with a high tolerance (normalization) for internal pain, self-denial and fawning my ass off, I hid all of my struggles from others quite well. Except my hiding was working anymore and I was spiraling toward inevitable collapse: I was stressing my marriage, my body & hormones, my self-confidence, impacting my children, and ultimately stopping myself from fulfilling my life's calling.

​

After my first real panic attack, I tenaciously researched for some kind of relief (and an answer), which led me to discover the reality of my past. What I had spent my life normalizing as a typical "dysfunctional childhood" was serious neglect and emotional abuse during my most formative and dependent years, leaving me with serious co-dependency (what I call being an "emotional hostage") & abandonment trauma, enmeshed "boundaries", apparent neurodivergence & brain damage from developmental trauma, and a nervous system in chronic functional-freeze, (which was how I spent most of my childhood and teen years, dissociating in my bedroom, alone with my rich inner-world and imagination). I finally began to unlock the riddles of my own healing paradoxes, and discovered why so many other modalities and philosophies not only fell short for me, but often further traumatized my sensitive nervous system.

 

Complex trauma was at the core of my sense of inherent "brokenness", soul-level loneliness, differentness, and why healing modalities didn't seem to meet me in the depths of my personal pain or my personal need. What's worse, my healing "failures" proved to my overactive inner-critic that I was both somehow "too much" and "too little". But never enough. 

​

My clients have similar experiences: years on a healing journey, spiritual practices, devoted study, and a calling to serve a better vision for their families and humanity, but despite the improvements in their life, at the heart of it, she still struggles with feeling disconnected, dissociated, discouraged, frustrated, angry, depressed, alone, confused, highly-"overly" sensitive, exhausted, over-stimulated, resentful, but with a big heart, a beautiful calling and yet always quietly wondering if there is just something uniquely broken in them. 

​

I call my work "multi-dimensional"; backed by science, spirit and experience, I work in safe guidance and grounded skill to walk the steps alongside my clients of recovering their innermost sovereign Selfhood from the enmeshed, tangled programming they received through their developmental years, to accomplish tangible, real-life healing with lasting results, purging inherited toxic patterns, that permanently transform their core soul wounds into profound, sovereign, empowered, embodied gifts for themselves, their families, and the world that so sorely needs it. 

the WOMEN

Most of my clients don't come to me identifying as someone with cptsd. They often don't see themselves as having necessarily been abused. They are keenly aware of the lack and want they felt in their childhoods, but often feel guilt around admitting it. 

​

My clients are beautifully thoughtful, sensitive and empathic beings with huge hearts that are deeply nestled with great dreams for themselves and humanity. They are so good at empathizing with and understanding others, that they need support in empathizing with and understanding themselves.

The problem isn't that we don't understand our parents or spouses enough, the problem is that we ever

put as much energy into understanding them as we have. And how we've abandoned ourselves in that bottomless pursuit. 

​

No matter how long you have spent trying to not be yourself, at any point in time, you can choose to be your Self. It is, after all, just inherently who you are. 

​

The problem comes in when we were raised with a chronic lack of validation in our being-ness, throughout our developing years. And our nervous systems have come to register our own authenticity as a threat to our own survival. This causes a split in our will, fracturing parts of the self into the unconscious, and no matter how hard we fight ourselves to "be authentic" we just don't feel safe doing it. And then we judge ourselves for our "shortcomings". 

 

When nothing was good enough, when we were praised for being what our parents needed or wanted us to be for them, when we were made to feel shame over our own needs- especially when those needs weren't easy for our care-takers to accommodate- we were made to develop nervous system programs that suppress our authentic expression.

 

What's more, is our nervous systems even register our own authentic expression as a threat to our own well-being, since it would have threatened the relationship to our caregivers when young, and very dependent. 

​

Sometimes, when you finally decide to be yourself, when you get really really literally or metaphorically sick of not being yourself, you need some support for the parts of that self that weren't ever allowed to be, before. I'm here for this sacred and CRUCIAL work.

​

​You can unlock the deep parts of yourself that seem to fight against you, the parts that sabotage, fawn, mask, resent, tremble and shake, and stay spinning in confusion or frustration- lashing inwardly at our selves, or outwardly at our spouses, our children, our friends.

​

You are here because it is time to uncover and develop your truest, most resonant Self and embrace her unwaveringly, unapologetically and I am here to help you understand, process and embody this for your Self as your lived reality.
