Finding Light After Darkness

​

​

I understand the weight of childhood trauma because I've carried it myself—the anxiety, shame, trust issues, and complicated grief that no one taught me to name. For years, I wore a bright smile while silently struggling with undiagnosed complex PTSD.

​

In 2012, I discovered Rapid Resolution Therapy and felt genuine hope for the first time. Therapy was instrumental in helping me heal from profound traumas—my mother's murder, family violence, and sexual abuse. I learned that I deserved happiness, rediscovered my intuition, gained stronger boundaries and rebuilt my sense of self-worth.

​

That transformation showed me what becomes possible with the right support. Now, as a trauma therapist and life coach, I help others navigate their own healing journeys. I teach stress management, emotion literacy, and healthy coping skills—not from theory alone, but from lived experience.

​

I know how our brains respond to both crisis and everyday struggles. Sometimes stress escalates into something overwhelming; other times, it quietly erodes our well-being. Trauma has a way of whispering negativity to both mind and body. Together, we'll respect your pace and help you reclaim your sense of peace and possibility.​
