When the mask you've worn for years no longer fits.
I work with the parts of you that words alone cannot reach—integrating 17 years of traditional Amazonian healing with contemporary Expressive Arts and somatic practice.
"I no longer want to be resilient.
I don’t want to simply bounce back from things that hurt me or cause me pain. Bouncing back means returning to where I stood before.
Instead, I want to go beyond the hurts and the darkness.
The first step toward genuine healing from my mental illness was when I came to trust and believe that there was a beyond.
Now I reach for beyond every day, in every encounter, in every circumstance. I seek to go where I have never traveled.
I wake with the vision of a purposeful day, filled with adventure and teachings. Then I take the first step and try to make it Beyond.”

If this resonates with you, we might be a good fit.
We all wear masks. We learn early to hide parts of ourselves—the parts deemed "too much," too sensitive, too angry, too needy. Over time, these masks become so familiar that we forget who we are underneath them. We go numb. We disconnect. We develop symptoms our bodies can't ignore.
If you've tried talk therapy or CBT and felt something was missing—a way to access the parts of you that words alone can't reach—this work offers an alternative.
My Approach: Beyond Resilience™
Beyond Resilience™ is the heart of my work.
I work with your body and creativity—not just your words. Through expressive arts, movement, sound, and somatic presence, we can access parts of your experience that language alone may not fully capture.
Rooted in modern psychology and ancestral wisdom, this approach supports you in reconnecting with your aliveness, your trust in yourself, and your ability to feel at home in your own body.
You don't need any special background or experience. You just need to be willing to show up—to your grief, your anger, your joy—and let something true emerge.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, this work invites you to explore what lies beyond coping and survival.
It honors your body's wisdom, recognizes the stories held in your nervous system, and creates space where all parts of you belong.
