My Story
Since 1987, I have dedicated my life to guiding individuals through transformative journeys with a focus on holistic well-being. My extensive experience spans diverse settings—from homeless shelters to schools and family homes—allowing me to build meaningful connections with people from all walks of life.
By working with me, you'll benefit from my unique ability to quickly establish powerful alliances and help you overcome limiting thoughts and behaviors that may be hindering your physical, mental, or spiritual growth. My approach is rooted in meeting you exactly where you are, fostering genuine relationships that pave the way for deep emotional and spiritual liberation.
I am committed to fostering consciousness, introspection, and transformative dialogue while holding you accountable and encouraging purposeful action. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology & Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and experience as a faculty member in the Community Mental Health program, I offer a well-rounded perspective on trauma and its impact. My passion lies in supporting your journey towards personal empowerment and collective liberation.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.
