My Story

I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a therapist and a consumer of perpetual learning. I am a human with accomplishments and accolades, wounds and bruises, aspirations and failures, creativity and blockages and a collection of multi-faceted experiences. My life has been full of complicated relationships, some chosen by me, some given to me. My heritage includes intergenerational trauma from both biological branches. My given environment and systems combined with an inherent drive, rebellion and a tenacity for healthier living, was just the right combination to launch me into finding my purpose. This purpose is to understand the systemic roots of what I’ve endured and enrich myself with knowledge. This purpose is to heal myself and empower others to untangle their wounds in the way I had; the way I will continue to do. This purpose is to undo what has been done to me, and those before me, so I would not perpetuate the pain any more.

My purpose is to become. My purpose is to support others in their becoming.

Relationships have been the greatest source of pain … and the most joyous aspect of my life. I want to share my story, my messages, my vulnerability hoping it can serve others in their healing. As a relational healer, I want to support those individuals courageous enough to look inside their world, to understand their internal relationship with the self and the external relationships with others. My passion for healing extends to supporting and collaborating with the other healers in the world, encouraging each of us to understand and nurture the wounds we carry with us.
