I am a holistic trauma therapist, educator, and speaker, trained in somatic approaches to healing the mind and body. I have a master's degree in social work and a clinical license for psychotherapy focused on attachment and trauma. I experienced intense burnout and vicarious trauma after investigating child abuse for 8 years. During my personal healing journey, I was certified as a yoga teacher, and shamanic breath work facilitator, and received a certification in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health and psychedelic psychotherapy. My healing was focused on understanding the nervous system, increasing joy, and finding compassion for my own trauma narrative.
