Master NLP Practitioner | Trauma-Recovery Specialist | Survivor | Advocate
My story didn’t begin in a classroom or a certification program — it began in survival.
For more than twenty years, I lived inside an emotionally, physically, and psychologically abusive relationship with a narcissistic partner. I know what it feels like to be silenced, minimized, blamed, isolated, and reshaped into someone you barely recognize. I know what it’s like to lose yourself while trying to save a relationship that was never meant to be saved.
I also know what it takes to walk away — and rebuild your entire life from the ashes.
My healing journey became the foundation for Healing Self Compass, a practice built on truth, compassion, education, and the unwavering belief that survivors can rise higher than they ever imagined. I learned how to reclaim my voice, my identity, my stability, my confidence, and my self-worth — and now I help others do the same.
What began as personal survival turned into purpose.
I pursued advanced training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, trauma-informed coaching, emotional processing, healing communication patterns, and identity restructuring. I went on to earn over a dozen certifications to ensure that what I offer clients is not only empathetic — but clinically structured, informed, and effective.
As the practice grew, I expanded Healing Self Compass into a team-based model, bringing on practitioners who share my mission:
empowering survivors to break trauma cycles, feel deeply safe in their own bodies again, and rebuild the life they deserve.
My approach blends evidence-based methodology with lived understanding — a combination that creates real movement, real clarity, and real transformation.
Healing Self Compass was built to serve every survivor — including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
I understand firsthand the unique dynamics that can exist within same-sex relationships, especially when abuse, manipulation, or narcissistic behavior is present. I intentionally create a space where identity is respected, relationships are understood, and clients never have to educate their practitioner before receiving help.
My practice welcomes:
• Same-sex couples
• LGBTQ+ individuals navigating relationship trauma
• Clients rebuilding identity after invalidation or suppression
• Anyone whose story has been misunderstood, minimized, or erased
Survivors deserve a place where their reality is believed — and their healing is prioritized.
I do this work because I know what it feels like to lose everything — and still find the strength to rise.
I do it because survivors often leave abuse only to face a second battle: the confusion, shame, doubt, guilt, trauma bonds, and emotional damage that linger long after the relationship ends.
I do it because I believe healing is not just possible — it is powerful, liberating, and transformative.
I do it because every survivor deserves someone who understands the depths of their story, the complexity of their healing, and the courage it takes to rebuild.
And I do it because I am living proof that your past does not define your future.
Outside of coaching, I’m a mother, a grandmother, a friend, and someone who rebuilt her world piece by piece.
I’m passionate, direct, grounded, and deeply connected to the people I serve. I will always meet you with compassion — and I will always hold you capable of rising.
I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to help you find the version of yourself that abuse tried to erase.
This is the heart of Healing Self Compass:
Truth
Clarity
Strength
Reclamation
A return to self
A rise that cannot be undone
