My Story

Several years ago, I experienced a devastating and traumatic loss.

The only way I can describe it was as though a bomb had gone off and shattered my life into a million pieces.

I spent so much time trying to make sense of what happened, but despite my extraordinary efforts and endless questioning, no answer I came up with could bring me solace. For quite some time following this trauma, I felt as if I was living in a body that wasn’t my own, and the person I once was seemed so far away.

Ironically, this pain was the catalyst that paved the way for my healing journey. I began to explore my inner world and understand the way this trauma had cut through my psyche and spirit. I discovered that we all have mechanisms within us to protect against harm. Yet, these same survival mechanisms can keep us in a perpetual loop of physiological dysregulation, fear, panic, and at times complete shutdown.

I learned that telling my story was not enough and turned to music therapy, my body’s wisdom and spirituality to help me process what could not be said in words. Once I learned how to integrate the pain of my past into my present awareness, its grip on my life slowly began to lessen.

After years of healing, growth, and learning, I am now a Registered Psychotherapist. I specialize in working with trauma, grief, loss, and attachment injury. I have devoted my career to helping others navigate through the pain of their past, so they can learn to live life fully in the present and embody hope for the future.
