Heal the root cause of chronic disorder & dis-ease
and rebirth your life for the greater good.
I know how you feel...
You've tried mainstream approaches, but your symptoms keep returning.
​
You're tired of your symptoms defining you, and you're craving a higher quality of life. ​
​
You want to work with an effective practitioner with a proven track record of helping people heal their symptoms at the root cause.
Your symptoms are messengers
trying to bring you into alignment
with your natural design.​
Our bio-psycho-social approach
will help you decode those messages so you can heal at the root cause and rebirth your life.
"A whole new world opened up for me. I was finally able to work through the underlying patterns that were holding me back. It was such a liberating process that completely changed my life path."

What if your symptoms are pushing you
to become the person
you've always wanted to be?
BIO THERAPY
How are your body and mind interconnected?
Have you noticed that your physical symptoms often show up after an unusually stressful period or event?
That's because your psychologic experiences affect your brain and body. It's why your heart races when you're anxious, or why you feel lethargic when processing a loss. You know, on a visceral and intuitive level, that your body and mind are connected (and so does science)...
In the 1990s, the mainstream scientific community first began to acknowledge the link between the mind and body through a field of research known as psycho-neuro immunology.
​
This research guides our approach here at Rooted Rebirth, resulting in our history of enabling clients to get to the root cause of their symptoms.
We work in collaboration with an experienced and licensed Chinese Medicine practitioner to order lab work and medical testing to map the links
between your psyche and body, so you can heal at the root and rebirth your life.
HOLISTIC PSYCHO-THERAPY
We support the parts of your psyche that mainstream psychology overlooks...
Most people who undergo big change, like ending relationships, starting a new job, or moving to a new city, end up feeling the same emotions and stress as before. They changed the external circumstances, but they didn't transform their subconscious & unconscious beliefs - which govern over 95% of your emotions, relationship dynamics, and personal & professional expression.
​
Mainstream talk therapists are not trained to work with the subconscious and unconscious parts of the psyche, which is why so many people struggle to see lasting transformation from conventional approaches to mental health.
​
Our unique therapeutic approach incorporates subconscious & unconscious awareness, body-centered psychology, and advanced trauma support in programs that have been successful even for clients who were previously discouraged by decades of unsuccessful mainstream therapy.
SOCIAL-THERAPY
Your brain's social engagement center decides whether you feel empty or full of purpose.
Humans are social beings by natural design. But technology, overworking, individualistic cultural norms, and trauma disrupt our brain's social engagement center and nervous system. This causes us to experience feelings of isolation or emptiness, like we're going through the motions of life, but not feeling fully alive. ​
​
In our work together, we'll focus on rebalancing your brain's social engagement center, so you can feel nourished by social connections and deepen your sense of purpose within a larger, collective cause.
Work with me
I'm a Holistic Biopsychosocial Therapist, Stress and Trauma Specialist, and Cross-Cultural Educator.​ In my 20s, I worked in Chicago's health care sector, helping dialysis clinics implement a more holistic approach to patient care. During this time, I observed a link between mental health and physical health. I was thrilled when the clinics I worked with began reporting improvements in patient outcomes, but I was discouraged by industry norms that prioritized profit over impact. I left Chicago in 2013 to volunteer in the Peace Corps in South Africa. ​
That's when I met David Patient, one of the first people to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Doctors told him he had 6 months to live, and there were no effective drug therapies at the time. But David pioneered his own holistic treatment plans and lived another 34 years. He co-authored the book, The Healer Inside You, and was my mentor from 2013-2017 until he passed away from other causes. While in South Africa, I completed a training program with David and Neil Orr, a psycho-neuro immunologist, who both worked as consultants to United Nations.
Afterwards, I moved to Colorado to mentor with a body-centered psychotherapist and studied with the world's leading experts on trauma in Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's Traumatic Stress Studies Certificate program. I've also learned from indigenous teachers in Central America.
​
In my personal life, I have naturally healed from adult onset asthma, IBS, chronic inflammatory disease, adverse childhood events, and PTSD. When you work with me, I offer you a skilled approach, deep understanding, and embodied guidance in every session. ​
