How I Got Here

After working several years within the medical field, I felt a profound inner calling to shift my focus toward what I believe is paramount to health and wellness. This led me on a personal journey to embrace an integrative approach to care—one that recognizes the importance of addressing the whole person in a more cohesive way. My goal was to foster lasting results rather than offer temporary solutions, and with sincerity and a strong desire for change, I began weaving this holistic philosophy into my own daily life.

My academic journey began in nursing before a growing passion for understanding mental processes and human behavior led me to new pursuits. After earning my first undergraduate degree from Palm Beach State College, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Rowan University. As a graduate student, I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella University, developing an extensive systemic approach to working with individuals, couples, and families alike.

Beyond traditional academic training, I hold certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research from the fully accredited California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Combined with nearly a decade of direct experience working with naturally derived plant medicines, this specialized education allows me to offer those interested in this modality ethical support with preparation, safe navigation where legally permitted, and meaningful integration. I also support individuals seeking to explore and process past psychedelic experiences that may feel unresolved or incomplete. Further, I hold a bachelor’s degree in metaphysical science and ordination through the University of Sedona, contributing to the holistic, integrative framework that informs my work.

These diverse educational paths have profoundly shaped my work, enriching both my relational approach and my understanding of human connection and well-being. I embrace this role with deep gratitude, recognizing it as both an honor and a privilege, and I remain continually inspired by the resilience and courage of those I work with. 

I look forward to working with you soon!
