I'm a mom, first and foremost. That's important because my kids are my why. I had SO MUCH trauma that I had assumed I had under control. As it turns out, I didn't. I underestimated how it affected me and my life crumbled in my hands. I had four small faces watching as I shattered and I knew that I had to heal. I set out on a five-year journey to unpack my lifetime of losses, grieve all that I needed to grieve, and soothe my broken soul so that I could learn how to love and be loved authentically.

I elevated my experiences as I integrated them into myself. I made them worth something. I gave them meaning. Each loss I mourned gave me purpose and passion and endless compassion and that singular knowing from which empathy grows.

Now, I turn that energy into helping others in becoming their best selves - their most healed, their most loving, their most ELEVATED. I use brain-based, trauma-informed proven techniques and interventions to help people uncover their own why and build their own tool sets from a multicultural, humanistic foundation centered on the belief that everyone has what they need - I'm just here to help them see it.
