About Me
My Journey
I’m a teacher, writer, and musician. I love poetry. And I love playing old time country music.
I currently live on the west coast, but I grew up in Texas. My paternal ancestors settled there seven generations ago.
As part of my healing journey I’ve learned a lot about their history, as well as my own.
That healing journey started with 12 step recovery. It helped me to quit drinking. But ultimately it didn’t heal the trauma that had caused me to start drinking in the first place.
It wasn’t until I had an experience with plant medicine and subsequently began practicing IFS therapy that I came to appreciate the potential to actually heal from the trauma that was behind my problematic behavior.
In the years since, I’ve healed many wounded parts of my psyche. And in doing so, I’ve built up Self-Energy. This Self-Energy has helped me develop the confidence to trust my Self, follow my intuition, and be grateful for my life.
My experience with plant medicine, coupled with an IFS-Informed integration process has helped me to heal and repair my past, so that I can realize a future to believe in.
I want to help other people see that change is possible. Healing is possible. Trusting yourself is possible. We all possess a Self with the capacity to heal.
