My Approach to Helping
My ideal client feels stuck in pain, whether it’s depression, anxiety, addiction, or a loss of purpose. They’ve tried conventional methods but found only fleeting relief and now seek deeper healing. They need someone who genuinely understands their struggles and offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions. Their goal is to find peace, heal old wounds, and reconnect with their inner strength. They want to feel whole, face life with resilience, and rediscover joy, embracing a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, and addiction through a holistic and personalized approach. Drawing from my life experience, education, and work with the Siona Tribe, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore deep healing.
My goal is to empower clients to reconnect with their inner strength and find lasting transformation.
I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I’m here to support you on your journey. Together, we can work through the challenges you’re facing and uncover the strength and resilience within you. You don’t have to face this alone, healing is possible, and I’d be honored to help you take the first steps toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
More Info About My Practice
My journey into mental health and holistic healing began in my early years, shaped by personal experiences with emotional challenges and a deep curiosity about the mind-body connection. Growing up, I witnessed how resilience and self-discovery could transform lives, and this inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others navigate their struggles and uncover their inner strength.
As a U.S. military veteran, my time in service profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience, discipline, and the complexities of mental health. Experiencing the challenges that come with high-pressure environments, life transitions, and emotional hardships, I developed a deep commitment to supporting others—especially those struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and the emotional toll of trauma. My own experiences reinforced my belief that healing is possible, even in the face of deep pain, and that no one should have to walk that path alone.
This passion led me to pursue advanced education, earning a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and Personalized Cognitive Counseling. But my path didn’t end there. Feeling called to expand my understanding beyond conventional approaches, I spent nearly a decade in the Amazonian jungles of Colombia, where I had the privilege of studying holistic healing practices with the Siona Tribe and apprenticing under skilled curanderos. Those years were transformative, teaching me the profound interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
In my practice, I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the wisdom I’ve gained from holistic and Indigenous healing traditions. ACT allows me to help clients develop mindfulness, accept life’s challenges, and align their actions with their core values. Together with breathwork, mindfulness, and traditional healing approaches, I offer a comprehensive path to healing that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I am deeply committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where my clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Having walked through my own struggles with depression, anxiety, and addiction, I understand what it feels like to face life’s darkest moments. This lived experience fuels my dedication to helping others transform pain into growth, cultivate resilience, and rediscover purpose and joy.
I believe we all have an innate capacity for healing, and my mission is to guide you on your unique journey toward wholeness and fulfillment.
