About
For more than 15 years, I supported children with learning differences as a literacy interventionist, helping them read, write, and learn in ways that honored their unique brains.
Desiring a more whole‑child approach, I added Brain Integration Therapy (BIT) to my practice three years ago—first as a nervous‑system layer for children, and then, in 2026, as a deeper emotional and identity‑aware tool that also serves adults.
Professional Evolution
This shift has brought the practice full circle.
What began as literacy‑focused work for children has grown into a BIT‑first approach that integrates:
- Brain Integration Therapy – the nervous‑system foundation that supports attention, processing, and emotional regulation;
- Personal Growth & Identity Coaching – trauma‑informed work that helps adults heal buried emotions, reclaim their stories, and live with courage, compassion, and connection.
- Dyslexia Support – literacy‑informed, strength‑aware intervention for diverse learners;
Personal Evolution
Alongside this professional evolution, I have also walked my own healing journey—sitting with my own trauma, grief, and identity questions, and learning how deeply brain, body, and story are intertwined.
Now, I bring that experience into the practice by:
- Holding space that is relationally safe and emotionally aware;
- Letting BIT stabilize the nervous system so healing and learning can take root;
- Helping clients see themselves not as “broken” or “behind,” but as adapting, learning, and growing in ways that are both human and neuro‑wise.
A Whole‑Person Development Perspective
This approach reflects both professional experience and a whole‑life healing journey.
My own healing from severe adverse childhood experiences has been a long‑term, ongoing process grounded in over a decade of study in brain science, learning science, neurobiology, attachment theory, and related fields that explore how humans are wounded and how they heal.
At its core, this work supports whole‑person development: integrating thinking, emotions, and physical responses, and building emotional and relational maturity, identity, and greater coherence over time.
For those who desire it, this may also include space to explore questions of relationship with God, identity, and meaning as part of the process.
More About Me
With more than 30 years of experience across education settings—including homeschool environments, public schools, and international missions work—I’ve learned how deeply learning and development are shaped by environment, culture, and relationship.
My training in structured reading instruction—LETRS, Yoshimoto OG, IMSE Orton‑Gillingham, ECAR, and ECAW—helps me tailor literacy support to each learner’s unique needs.
This combination of lived experience, educational practice, and interdisciplinary study has led me to a consistent belief: people do not grow in straight lines, and meaningful change requires more than information—it requires capacity‑building experiences in safe, relational contexts. Learning, emotional development, relational maturity, and identity are not separate tracks; they are deeply interconnected aspects of becoming more fully yourself.
What People Often Experience
As this work unfolds, people often experience:
- surprise at how easily their nervous system responds to the non-invasive healing process
- increased confidence and engagement in learning and daily life
- greater emotional and bodily awareness, with improved calm and regulation
- improved capacity for learning, focus, and cognitive engagement
- stronger relational connection and communication
