I survived.
Physical, psychological, sexual, and emotional abuse. Bullying. Multiple suicide attempts.
When giving up felt like the only option, something always pulled me back.
I grew up in a home where questions weren’t welcome. Curiosity was defiance, and risk meant punishment. But I asked anyway. I was always searching for truth and greater purpose.
In college, I was drawn to philosophy—especially metaphysics and ontology. I embraced agnosticism, sensing an omnipotent, unknowable force beyond the bounds of the traditional religions I had rejected.
Later, learning to read astrological birth charts deepened that intuition. It gave language to something I had always felt but never fully understood.
I went on to build a life that looked perfect from the outside. A six-figure salary. A vice president title. A city government appointment—all before thirty. I raised millions of dollars, sat on boards, received awards for community service. But none of it touched the emptiness inside me.
Then it all collapsed. 29 years of careful construction—gone in an instant.
For two months, I stood in the wreckage. Then suddenly, one clear message broke through: Move to New York City.
I didn’t question it. I had no plan, no backup—just a knowing I couldn’t ignore. Four weeks later, I packed everything I owned into a U-Haul and drove across the country.
A month later, I started noticing number patterns—123, 111, 444—everywhere. Clocks. Receipts. Calories. Ads. Video runtimes. Instagram likes. Followers. License plates. TikTok comments. As someone so inherently logical, I couldn’t explain why they kept appearing—but I couldn’t dismiss them either.
That search for meaning led me to a shamanic healer in the Bronx. I told her everything I had lived through, and she simply said: “This is the beginning of your spiritual awakening.”
She became my mentor. Under her guidance, I entered an initiation for spiritual transformation.
Spiritual transformation is violent.
I had just launched a business, but the universe had other plans.
Repressed memories surfaced. Flashbacks took over. Emotions I had buried for years came flooding back. The identities I had built to survive no longer held. I asked the hardest questions of my life and turned to the mirror to find the answers.
And eventually, they came.
My suffering was not punishment. It was preparation. Through the collapse, I uncovered my soul’s purpose.
Today, I write. I teach. I heal. I create. I live the truth I once feared to speak. I became what I once needed. I serve as the artist, the guide, and the vessel I was always becoming.
This is the truth from the wreckage.
Within each of us lies an inner world filled with unseen fears, forgotten dreams, hidden wounds, suppressed emotions, and untapped potential. This is your shadow—the subconscious self that unconsciously influences your thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and life direction.
Our shadows often manifest as recurring patterns: anxiety, self-sabotage, unhealthy relationships, or unexplained emotional reactions. Without conscious attention, they quietly shape our lives, limiting our ability to experience genuine happiness, freedom, and fulfillment.
My role is to gently guide you inward, helping you safely uncover and explore what lies beneath your conscious awareness. Having faced death itself multiple times and emerged transformed, my purpose is to support others in living authentically—in claiming the life they've always envisioned.
My guiding belief is clear and uncompromising: Every story deserves to be told with humanity, imagination, and truth.
With over a decade spent crafting award-winning campaigns, shaping narratives prominently featured in top-tier media, and launching impactful advocacy initiatives, I've secured millions in funding through nonprofit events and community-driven development.

Education is one of our most vital resources. I've dedicated my life to both pursuing and sharing it.
I hold an undergraduate degree from Michigan State University in Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Science, with concentrations in political philosophy and social psychology.
My first master’s degree, earned summa cum laude from DePaul University, is in Cultural Studies, where I focused on post-colonial theory, the politics of historical narratives, cultural resistance, and the relationship between media, representation, and power. I later earned a Master of Business Administration from Syracuse University.
Above all, I am committed to alchemizing knowledge into meaning, and experience into insight. Everything I’ve learned, I now use to guide, elevate, and inspire others on their path to truth.
