Welcome
EXPERIENCES
... is a dancer, holistic practitioner, marriage and family therapist, advocate, behavioral and business consultant who believes healing and growth must be approached from the whole person.
As a published author, artist, and ASL fluent creative, I use movement, language, and education as tools for connection and transformation. My work is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience.
All of which allows me to serve individuals, families, and communities with depth and compassion. Above all, I am a mother and grandmother, and that role continues to shape how I lead, teach, and advocate for healthier generations to come.
EDUCATION
I never planned to attend college. As a teenage mother, my priority was simply caring for my son. When he was diagnosed with hearing loss and a teacher encouraged me to apply to school requiring an application as a grade. She then sent off my application and before you know it, I was enrolled at Vincennes University and began learning American Sign Language to communicate with him. That decision changed the trajectory of my life.
I went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in the arts with a minor in child development, where my love for science and human development deepened. Knowing I would one day build my own business, I pursued a degree in business with a concentration in business management, followed by a master’s in psychology.
I learned the hard way that to become a licensed therapist, one must complete a clinical master's degree. I returned once more to complete a second master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Each step was guided by purpose and a commitment to serving others with both knowledge and lived experience.
CERTIFICATES
I am a Certified Group Fitness Instructor and a licensed Zumba Instructor, bringing high-energy, inclusive movement experiences to individuals and groups of all levels. My background in fitness is complemented by certifications in Breathwork and Meditation, allowing me to guide clients through intentional practices that support nervous system regulation, stress relief, and overall well-being.
I am also certified in Sound Bath facilitation, creating immersive, restorative experiences designed to promote deep relaxation and emotional balance.
Your safety and well-being are always a priority. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, as well as First Aid for Adolescent Mental Health, equipping me to support both the physical and emotional needs of youth and adult participants.
