For the past 18+ years, I’ve devoted my life to understanding how trauma lives in the body and how to help people transform it.
I hold a master’s degree in Somatic Psychology, I’m a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and I’ve taught trauma and attachment work to therapists, healers, and helping professionals around the world.
I’ve led thousands of clients, individuals, couples, and practitioners through nervous system repair, attachment healing, and deep somatic transformation.
Where this work truly began
At 12 years old, I was in a full collapse of my life.
I was addicted.
I couldn’t focus.
My system was overloaded with panic, migraines, dissociation, and a constant sense of danger.
I couldn’t hold a conversation without losing the thread.
I felt like I was disappearing.
By 14, I found myself in 12-step meetings, surrounded by people who were drowning in trauma.
In those rooms, I began to understand something profound: addiction wasn’t the problem, the nervous system was.
That realization ignited my obsession to understand trauma, nervous system physiology, and the deeper mechanics of healing.
I studied with Native American healers, entered recovery, went to Buddhist university, immersed myself in meditation, and rebuilt my life from the inside out.
Where the Trauma Alchemy framework was born
Years later, working in one of the top treatment centers in the country, I sat with hundreds of clients each year at the edge of their trauma. Frozen, overwhelmed, dissociated, terrified, collapsed, or unable to stop running from their own histories.
It was there that the framework I now teach took shape.
A system that worked on the level where trauma actually lives, the physiology, not the thoughts.
Clear. Practical. Rooted in nervous system science.
Gentle enough for the most sensitive systems.
Powerful enough to change patterns that seemed immovable.
This is the same system that rebuilt my life, and the same one I teach today as Trauma Alchemy: Regulate, Reconnect, Regenerate.
Today

I live a life I once believed would be impossible for me:
present, clear, connected, sober, grounded, and deeply fulfilled.
I’m married, doing work I love, and helping others reshape patterns they thought were permanent.
And if your system feels stuck, overwhelmed, shut down, chaotic, or out of control, I want you to know something:
I’ve been there too.
Your body remembers the way home.
Trauma Alchemy simply helps you access it.
