I was once an Art History Major in the conservatories of SUNY Purchase College. I found myself curious about the artists’ inner life—their thinking and feelings as they poured their souls onto mediums of expression. I noticed an insatiable curiosity that needed to be quenched. So drawn to the human mind and emotions, I began volunteering for RAINN (Rape and Incest National Network) as a crisis counselor. Then, I began grad school again and became a licensed mental health counselor. I was overwhelmed in two grad schools but I survived! The insatiable curiosity to learn more about human beings did not end there. I continued my education after acquiring an LMHC, and a CASAC. I trained in Seeking Safety, a modality used to help individuals overcome PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder). Fortuitously, I crossed paths with some powerful metaphysical people and found the light I was searching for. I found magick in the unknown, and,we all have magick inside of us. So, I became a certified Reiki Master Teacher, a Life Activation Practitioner, and a metaphysic teacher to help others find their magick! I teamed up with some amazing people at Mind The Healing. Our group practice teaches you the skill(s) for self-regulation to move past old patterns that no longer serve you and keep you from finding your magick. When self-regulation is practiced, there is a balance in our mood, nervous system, appetite, sex drive, and sleep, giving us the ability to truly experience our inner world without running away or acting out in self-destructive ways. This is the essence of healthy relationships! Let us support you with a holistic approach to psychotherapy incorporating the mind-body-spirit connection. Suffering ends when we stop alienating or denying the true-self. We help you stop hiding in order to live more freely. So come heal, love and create a life you love!
