I'm a forever student and I love to learn. My formal education, extensive trainings in spiritual healing modalities, and professional experience added to my natural compassion and intuitive gifts strongly influence the work that I do.
Formal Education: Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Bachelor of Arts in Sociology/Anthropology from Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University New England.
Spiritual Training: Spirit Junkie Level One with Gabby Bernstein, Usui Reiki Level I, II, and Master/Teacher, Karuna Ki Reiki Level I, II, Master, Ho'opononopo
Professional Experience: I have practicing therapy in some form since 2012. I've worked in residential settings, university clinics, and community mental health. Most of my mental health therapist work was with children and families who had experienced complex trauma. I have been an entrepreneur since 2017, providing spiritual therapy, healing, and other intuitive services to people around the world.

Let's get to the fun stuff:
- I'm a Pisces Sun, Capricorn Moon, Pisces Rising. Ennegram type 9w2, Kapha-Vata, Manifesting Generator. If you don't know what any of this means, don't worry, I can teach you. If you do know what this means, we already have something in common.
- I am a claircognizant, clairvoyant empath. This means I have the intuitive gift of knowing, seeing, and feeling everything deeply and profoundly. We all carry the abilities to have intuitive gifts, we just have to release the resistance to tapping into it.
- Some things that bring me joy are: curating playlists, live music, guided meditations, traveling with my closest friends, hanging out with my husband and our dog, being near any body of water (but especially the ocean), and writing.
When I experienced burn-out so quickly as a mental health therapist, I was disappointed in myself and in the universe overall. I thought that serving people was my calling, but if it was, then why was I experiencing this level of emotional, mental, and physical overwhelm? I assumed that I just wasn't cut out for it. The weight of someone else's well-being was too much for me and they did not prepare us for this type of self care in grad school. I wasn't sleeping, my relationships were suffering, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I didn't have much of a purpose.
Through using my spiritual practice to recover from secondary traumatic stress, I was able to forgive the experience of intense burn out, the lack of support I felt from society, and from there I was able to create the fulfilling, aligned life that I am living now. Every day isn't perfect and being an entrepreneur comes with it's own set of challenges, but I can understand now why it all happened the way it did.
I now help other therapists and mental health professionals develop a spiritual self care practice so that they can continue to show up for the clients who need their services. Therapists deserve to show up as their whole intelligent, intuitive, aligned selves for their clients AND for themselves.
As a spiritual therapist, I love working creating an experience of therapy that feels somewhat like a ritual, but with some humor added. I do my best to bring a warm energy that makes others feel safe in opening up and sharing their most vulnerable thoughts and emotions.
