About

I didn’t come to this work through theory—I came through lived experience.

At eleven years old, I survived the violent deaths of my parents and brother. That trauma shattered the world I knew and forced me into silence, shame, and survival.

There were no words for what I carried.
No culturally safe spaces to hold it.

In that silence, I became a seeker.

My journey took me across the globe—from Malawi, Burma, and Rwanda to healing spaces across the United States.

I worked in orphanages, advocacy centers, and communities where loss was already present. I witnessed how grief moves through individuals, families, and entire communities—through culture, memory, faith, and survival.

Today, alongside building Beneath the Silence Healing, I hold a Master of Social Work degree and continue supporting individuals navigating high-crisis needs. That work has deepened my understanding of how trauma, grief, and survival shape people long after the visible crisis has passed.

Through my studies, global work, and personal healing journey, I came to understand that grief is vast. Some of it is visible—the kind people recognize. But much of it is hidden, dismissed, or carried alone.

The grief of losing safety.
The grief of losing language.
The grief of a future you imagined but never lived.

These losses often go unnamed.
And yet, they shape how we move through the world, how we love, and how we survive.

I didn’t set out to create a method.
I set out to create the kind of space I never had.

I created Beneath the Silence Healing as a space where grief doesn’t have to be hidden, translated, or explained—a space where story, body, and lived experience can exist together.

I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to walk with you—back to the parts of yourself you had to bury just to survive.

Because your grief deserves a voice.
And your pain deserves dignity.
