My Story

I came into this world as a sensitive little soul. Born into a family with humble origins, and from ancestors who honored the lands and the cyclical nature of Mother Earth. A playful and curious child full of imagination, my unmanaged sensitivity manifested in symptoms of anxiety by the age of five. By my teenage years, I had been dealing with ongoing health challenges for years and was experiencing depression. Sometimes my thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms felt all-consuming. A series of traumatic events in my teens and early 20s compounded what I was already experiencing - at times leaving me feeling shattered and disillusioned with life. 

By 2006, it all became too much for me to navigate on my own, and I began my journey of releasing what no longer served and remembering the truth of who I am. 

Therapy was my entryway into healing. With a supportive and non-conventional therapist, I finally had a sacred space to give voice to my experiences, gain insights, practice self-compassion, and set healthy boundaries. I could release the shroud that had enveloped me while learning to trust my inner wisdom.

Eventually, I felt the call to be a witness and guide for others in their healing journey. I began studying clinical mental health counseling, blending clinical and holistic perspectives even in my early work with clients. As my own journey continued to evolve, so did my approach with clients - exploring and integrating various healing modalities.

In October of 2020, I began experiencing a series of life-changing events that I now refer to as initiations—testing my mind, body, and spirit. These initiations called me to dive deeper into my healing journey and self-discovery in ways I had never encountered before. I learned to truly listen to my body when it spoke, to honor my needs as they arose, to explore my shadows, to move in harmony with the rhythms of Mother Nature, and to share my truth, allowing it to be witnessed in spaces where I felt safe. 

This was a period of contraction and expansion, death and rebirth, and a deepening into myself like I had never experienced before. It was through this process of awakening that I remembered the truth of who I am and returned home to my true essence. So I continue to walk my path and to trust in the unfolding.
