“Death is not when your heart stops. Death is when you give up who you could be for the safety of who you are.”

- Iain S. Thomas

I was raised in the south bible belt region in America.  As an only child, I was kept in a bubble within my family system.  Most of my childhood looked pleasant from the outside however within the confines of the home I was subjected to neglect and abuse.  This showed up in my life as an adult who didn’t have the ability to form relationships with others and who suffered just to exist in the world.  Moving through life without having an identity, not knowing who I was, and not understanding I was having flashbacks of past trauma, kept me stuck and hindered me from actually living.  A decade ago I started my healing journey with my first therapist.  Within the years of 2018-2019, I was misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, entered into an intensive outpatient program for a month, and then into a DBT six-month group program.  Soon after I married my partner of five years and was divorced within the year.  That was the turning point for my own recovery.  I gave up everything in my external world after hitting that final rock bottom and began excavating my inner world to get to the root of my false beliefs and uncovering repressed memories in my story to truly begin to heal.  I incorporated DBT, SE, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, and IFS to start becoming unbound from all the trauma that has kept me in chains.

My mission is to help others heal from complex trauma from childhood with the wisdom I’ve gained from doing deep inner work over the years.  Having the ability to attune to you and help regulate your nervous system we can dive into the depths of your own inner world to unlock exiled parts and bring them into the light releasing the burdens they have carried for far to long.  If you a tired of repeating the same patterns in your life that keep you from being your authentic self and living the life you deserve to live, I’m here to walk with you on that journey.
