The path to this work began with my own health crisis.
I spent years as a high-functioning clinician and person while my internal system was in a state of functional freeze and overwhelm. On the outside, I was checking every box of professional success - advanced degrees from Georgetown and the University of Chicago, a thriving social work career, the veneer of "having it all together."
While things looked shiny on the outside, on the inside, I was navigating debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and systemic burnout.
I saw every specialist. I tried every wellness hack. I was told my labs were "normal" even though I could barely make it through my own days. I realized then what I know with clinical certainty now: You cannot think your way out of a nervous system collapse. You have to strategically and mindfully come back home to your own body.
My Framework: The Integrity Alignment Method
Through the I AM (Integrity Alignment Method), we address the three pillars of your reconstruction:
Biological Integrity: Restoring your foundational health through personalized nutrition, movement, and environmental pacing.
Internal Alignment: Clarifying your values and auditing your energy to ensure your outer life reflects your inner self.
Nervous System Sovereignty: Implementing somatic protocols to regulate your system, move out of survival, and return to a state of calm, creative flow.
