Most people who come to me have already tried everything — therapy, medications, self-help, retreats, or all of the above — and nothing has fully worked because the REAL issue was never identified:
It’s not you.
It’s the house you grew up in.
If you came from a dysfunctional or abusive family system, what you’re dealing with is almost always Complex PTSD, not “depression,” not “bipolar,” and not a chemical imbalance.
I’m not a doctor — I'm sharing what I learned from Dr. Amen and from healing my own brain and nervous system. Today we understand Epigenetics, and we know trauma creates symptoms that get mislabeled as mental illness. So instead of chasing diagnoses, we look at your brain type, because balancing your brain is the foundation of real healing.
If you survived an abusive partner, I need you to be radically honest — you were likely not living your best life before meeting them. People who had two nurturing parents don’t end up in those relationships.
And there is no shame in that.
According to a recent Forbes survey, 70–80% of Americans believe they grew up in a dysfunctional household. You're not broken — you were shaped by your environment, and now you’re here to change it.
My job is to help you heal the trauma underneath everything, regulate your brain and nervous system, reconnect with God or your higher power, and rebuild yourself into someone who makes decisions from worth, confidence, and clarity — not fear or survival.
This is your healing journey.
• Your sense of safety
so your nervous system stops living in fight-or-flight
• Your self-worth
so you stop tolerating mistreatment and finally choose yourself
• Your brain chemistry
so you can sleep, focus, and feel consistent again
• Your attachment style
so you become secure, confident, and relationship-ready
• Your boundaries
so you stop attracting abusive or emotionally unavailable partners
• Your connection to God or your higher power
so you have clarity, intuition, and a spiritual foundation
• Your identity
so you stop living as a traumatized version of yourself
and step into the person you were designed to be
• Love
when you remove everything that is not you, love is what remains —
and when you live through love by honoring your higher power,
you naturally manifest the life and love you were created for
I saw at least five psychiatrists. Every one of them talked about brain chemistry — not one asked about trauma or my nervous system.
Not one of them had any interest in me being abused. It took 28 years and a global pandemic for anyone to remotely consider trauma.
That’s when the truth hit me: Complex PTSD is the Invisible Epidemic.
You can’t see it — but it’s everywhere.
It hides beneath people who think they’re “healed” just because they’re not as upset as they once were. The truth is, if most people removed their triggers like I did, they wouldn’t get offended as easily, they wouldn’t get their feelings hurt as often, and they’d stop living in constant reaction mode. Beneath my tough exterior, I was a highly sensitive person — that’s what CPTSD and a dysregulated nervous system do to you. I knew I was struggling, but “bipolar” never made sense. How could decades of being screamed at, criticized, and controlled not affect my brain? Little did I know — my father didn’t just hurt my feelings, he broke my nervous system.
Then I found Amen Clinics in Scottsdale.
I was misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and misunderstood for decades. Then I discovered the truth — my “disorders” were the result of unresolved trauma and a dysregulated nervous system.
I became a Certified Brain Health Coach under Dr. Daniel Amen and a Core Energy Coach, where “energy” means consciousness. I help clients raise their consciousness, experience spiritual awakening, and reconnect to God — healing the spiritual separation caused by dysfunctional families and spiritual abuse. Combined with faith, it healed what nothing else could. After my Born-Again experience, I began to literally feel emotion in my heart — my own and others’. That’s when compassion stopped being an idea and became a calling.
