​My path to this work was born from personal transformation.
For much of my life, I was unaware of how deeply lost I was—entangled in codependency and driven by an unconscious longing for love. Relationships often left me devastated, unable to let go, and consumed by the hope that someone would return and confess their undying love. The fear of abandonment was overwhelming, and recovery felt endless.

 

The turning point came with the birth of my son, a profound blessing that catalyzed my healing. Supported by a strong spiritual practice I had cultivated over the past five years, motherhood gave me the space to reflect, take accountability, and begin the inner work I had long avoided.

 

I came to understand that my pursuit of love had been shaped by unresolved trauma, masked as romantic idealism. My healing journey was intense and deeply spiritual, rooted in shadow work and the integration of unconscious patterns. As I began my career in social work, I recognized that the tools I had been using—bringing awareness to the unconscious and allowing intention to guide healing—aligned closely with therapeutic practice.

 

Rather than avoiding triggers, I chose to remain in environments that exposed my deepest wounds, allowing them to surface and resolve. I stopped resisting, stopped blaming, and embraced the opportunity to heal.

 

Over time, I realized that my challenges extended beyond romantic relationships. I applied the same tools across all areas of my life, transforming not only myself but also my relationships—including turning a once-toxic dynamic with my son’s father into a supportive, lifelong friendship. Eventually, I followed a deep inner calling and relocated from Los Angeles to the mountains of Asheville to begin my work as a therapist.

 

Before healing, my trauma dictated my choices, relationships, and reactions. I now understand that true freedom begins when those wounds are no longer in control. My journey has led me to a vision of helping others find the same empowerment and liberation that I continue to discover.
