About Me
Who Am I?
I grew up outside of Chicago where my parents instilled a strong sense of service and community. During one of many service projects that I participated in, I realized it was my life path to help others. After obtaining my bachelor’s and master’s in social work, I went on to work in the mental health field, first running group therapy and then as a community social worker for people suffering from severe mental health disorders. I then transitioned to working in a hospital where I gained a better understanding of the connection between mental and physical health. I believe that the path to truly healing one's physical health starts and ends with one's emotional health.
On a personal level, I started to develop some chronic medical conditions that were not responsive to traditional western medications. I began a healing journey that took me down many different energy healing avenues. It was during body-energy healing work that I started to heal not only on a physical level, but also on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level.
Like many, the pandemic made me re-evaluate several important things in my life, including my career path. I realized that I was no longer interested in merely doing a “job” but more in making my life a meaningful journey. I leaned learning about different healing paths in order to gain clarity and to start building a future that was more abundant and authentic to the person I was becoming. I was led to Bradley Nelson's Body Code through a spiritual advisor who felt it would be a good match for me. I completed the certification in June 2021 and have found much success integrating it into my mental health counseling work. I completed a certification course to better understand the role that psychedelics can be used in healing our deepest traumas and I feel strongly that this work can take what we logically understand in the mind and move so that we can feel it in our hearts and actually heal. My goal is to use all the tools in my tool kit to help others heal in ways they never thought possible and to open their heart and soul to endless love, gratitude, success, and peace.
