About me
Since childhood I have always known I was put on this Earth to help humanity heal. What I failed to realize as a kid is the tremendous amount of our own healing we must endure in order to effectively offer that gift to the world. For as long as I can remember I have struggled with chronic anxiety, which later gave way to clinical depression in my teenage years and early 20s. I first began attending weekly therapy sessions at the age of 19 and continued therapy, and medication, on and off throughout my 20s and into my early 30s. I have had a few really great therapists, and always felt a calling to become a counselor of some sort, but was met with consistent frustration when I realized I spent almost a decade on antidepressants and on a therapist's couch, but was still struggling with the same issues I had been dealing with for most of my life. I wondered "if these things are really supposed to work, and I am utilizing the tools they are giving me, why is nothing changing?"
In 2018, I gradually weaned myself off antidepressants whilst also committing to a daily practice of meditation, prayer, and yoga which allowed me a stable foundation to pursue life without medication. I absolutely still, to this day, believe in the power and necessity of medication in certain circumstances, but I was very aware that it had become a crutch for me and I sought to prove to myself that I could "do life" without depending on the medication to get me through. I felt really great with the tools I was utilizing and then I unexpectedly experienced what I call a spiritual awakening, which precipitated a very lengthy and painful dark night of the soul. During this time my life changed in drastic, unexpected, and often-excruciating ways and it was at that point I was first exposed to the Emotion Code. I was willing to try anything to feel better and though I was also actively in therapy on a weekly basis, I added Emotion Code sessions to my "survival toolkit" at that time. After just a few sessions I felt such remarkable improvement in my emotional state and my mental processes (i.e. toxic thought patterns) that I realized this was exactly the answer to what I always felt was missing in traditional therapeutic approaches. Traditional counseling's inability to remove the root cause of a lot of our suffering, trapped emotions, is exactly what the Emotion Code facilitated so that I could actually effectively utilize the tools I was receiving in therapy; I wasn't making any headway because we were slapping a band-aid on all my symptoms instead of tackling the root of the issue. In June 2019, after only a few Emotion Code sessions, I quit therapy completely and have not returned since.
I have had such amazing and drastic success with the Emotion Code (I can actually breathe again without feeling like there is a vice on my chest! I haven't been able to do that since before I was 8 years old!) that in 2020, after watching the world turn upside down and witnessing so much subsequent suffering, I felt led to become a certified practitioner and offer my heart for healing to anyone who is ready to embark on their own healing journey. My purpose and my passion is to help every single person who comes into my life heal and remember who they are: a spark of divinity who is inherently whole and complete, beautiful and meaningful, on this planet for a reason. I would so love the opportunity to walk with you in your places of darkness and help shine the light as you carve your own path of remembrance.
A little more about me: I have two beautiful daughters and I call both Ohio and Virginia "home", though I have resided in Florida since 2015. I hold a B.A. in English, with a concentration in Literature, from Virginia Tech. My happy place is the beach or anywhere there is a body of water. I have a deep interest and fascination in religion, spirituality, and human psychology; these interests all inform my healing approach in various ways I am currently pursuing education and training in other therapeutic and healing modalities, so stay tuned for additional services!
