Healing Trauma is the Heartbeat of My Journey
In my personal journey with severe Complex PTSD (c-PTSD), I found myself at a crossroads: either live with my trauma or step into my divine calling and heal. For a long time, I refused the calling. My story is one of survival, transformation, and ultimately, profound healing.
My Personal Journey with c-PTSD: A Path of Pain and Isolation
In the early 90s, trauma theories were just beginning to emerge, but it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that I found myself personally affected by their relevance. In 2000, I was diagnosed with a disabling autoimmune disorder, a condition that left me feeling trapped in my own body. At the time, trauma theory had not fully connected the dots between chronic physical illness and the psychological underpinnings of trauma.
"My illness was misunderstood by the medical community, with few making the connection between the autoimmune condition and the emotional and psychological stress I had experienced."

It wasn't until several years later, in the mid-2000s, when I was officially diagnosed with c-PTSD, that the pieces began to fall into place. Trauma research had made some significant strides by then, but the relationship between mind and body, and the impact trauma had on physical health, was still not fully understood. I began to realize that the healing process would require addressing the trauma itself, not just the physical symptoms.
My psychologist, who had a deep Christ-centered understanding of trauma, introduced me to a new possibility—healing.
"I realized that many who suffer from c-PTSD are left with few real solutions, and most conventional therapies simply don’t address the complexity of the condition."
Through years of therapy, my eyes were opened to the deep-rooted trauma that others often overlooked or misunderstood. I realized that many who suffer from c-PTSD are left with few real solutions, and most conventional therapies simply don’t address the complexity of the condition.
Healing Beyond the Mainstream: A New Way Forward
"My goal is to provide a more holistic and accessible way for individuals to heal from trauma, especially for those who feel stuck or misunderstood by mainstream therapeutic approaches"
I’m committed to helping others navigate and heal from trauma. Having walked this difficult path myself, I’ve developed a healing method called Integrative Self-Analysis (ISA), which blends psychological insights with biological, social, and spiritual factors. My goal is to provide a more holistic and accessible way for individuals to heal from trauma, especially for those who feel stuck or misunderstood by mainstream therapeutic approaches.
Realigning With One’s Intrinsic Nature & Divine Purpose
While most modalities focus on symptom reduction, my approach recognizes that trauma is an instinctual, "bottom-up" issue. I blend Neuropsychoanalysis, insights into The Instinctual Consciousness, and Genomic Teleology to provide a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes our psyche and our life’s purpose.
This approach acknowledges that healing is not just about cognitive tools or symptom management but about realigning with one’s intrinsic nature and divine purpose.
My approach is informed by three decades of personal reflection and study across diverse disciplines, including:
-
Affective Neuroscience
-
Jungian Depth Psychology
-
Biblical Research & Christian Mysticism
-
Psycho-Systems Analysis
-
World History, Literature, & Art
Healing as a Sacred and Personal Journey
Healing is deeply personal and sacred. My mission is to empower individuals to unlock their innate potential for self-discovery, inner peace, and strength. Guided by compassion, patience, and a profound respect for each person’s unique path, I believe in the power of self-awareness as the key to true healing.

I focus on uncovering the hidden stories and symbolic images within a person’s most pressing life challenges. These often hold the keys to their most authentic self, offering profound clarity and the wisdom to move forward.
