MY STORY

I have been a wellness practitioner for over 20 years; as both a body-centered therapist and a mental health practitioner.

​

 At a very young age, I had the privilege to learn hands-on healing work with Fr. Ralph DiOrio, a Catholic priest who spent some time in my parish training a small group of people in his techniques. It wasn't until many years later that I fully understood the gravity of what I had been taught by him, or how to apply it in my life, but the experience of learning hands-on healing combined with prayer has stayed with me throughout my lifetime.

​

It came as no surprise to me that as a young adult I wanted to explore a healing path. I had always been drawn to helping others and wanted to learn a more concrete way to support this healing process for people. 

I trained as a massage therapist and became fascinated with the ability to tune into a person's energy body. My favorite part of the bodywork practice was becoming a conduit for my clients to facilitate healing on a subtle, yet profound level. I love it!

​

It was through this work that I first learned that our experiences are stored in our physical and energetic systems. I wanted to better understand this interconnectedness and the role that our mind played in storing and releasing these experiences.  I completed my undergraduate work in social psychology and went on to get a master's degree in social work to become a clinical mental health practitioner.

Through this, my experience has taught me that true healing comes from the integration of all aspects of ourselves. Everything is connected within our own system and I believe, inextricably connected to the Divine.

​

I believe that we each possess innate wisdom to heal ourselves and guide our path. We already have access to everything needed to optimize our health and be more fully alive. The therapeutic relationship can act as a conduit for this healing and awakening to take place

​

I have spent the greater part of my life cultivating my own spiritual practice and seeking to understand the human connection with the divine and deepen my own relationship with God. In my work, I bring forth experience from several modalities which encapsulate body, mind and spirit to support you in your life journey.
