A lotus flower submerges every night into the mud —undeterred by its negative environment—it miraculously re-blooms the next morning without residue on its petals.
Prepare to transform and awaken like a lotus flower.

Why I Do This Work
For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals, couples, and fellow healing professionals navigate the intersection of trauma, relationships, and embodied healing.
My journey began in corporate America, where I witnessed firsthand the toll that unprocessed trauma, relational disconnection, and emotional burnout take on individuals and their families. This experience led me to trauma-informed yoga, Safe Conversations®, and somatic healing practices, which became the foundation of my work as a licensed psychotherapist, international speaker, and facilitator of deep relational healing. I service under-represented, under-privileged, under-serviced, and under-recognized identities from a safe understanding of cultural perspective and inclusiveness.
My specialty is in helping people reconnect with themselves and others, using a unique blend of:
✔ Engaging the body’s wisdom for deeper emotional healing.
✔ Creating communication that heals rather than harms.
✔ Supporting long-term well-being through embodiment.
✔ Healing deep-rooted patterns through movement-based practices.
✔ Utilizing neuroscience to achieve nervous system regulation and resilience.
I believe that we heal in relationships. Whether you’re a couple seeking deeper connection, an individual processing past trauma, or a professional looking to integrate relational healing into your work, I am here to support your journey.
