Meet Myna

You’re doing everything you can to hold it all together—managing your family, caring for your children, juggling work, and trying to ignore the constant fatigue, anxiety, or brain fog that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “fine,” but deep down, you know something’s not right.
I’ve been there too. And I can tell you from experience that healing is possible—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I See You—Because I’ve Been Where You Are 

A Journey of Compassion, Growth, and Connection

While living in Mexico City in the nineties, I had a series of setbacks which left me depressed. When I asked an ESL student of mine, who was a neurosurgeon, about my symptoms, he said, “Do you believe in God?” I said, “What does THAT have to do with my symptoms?” He responded, “Everything!” This was the impetus for my sincere search for meaning. I started reading everything I could find on psychology and spirituality, even starting a masters degree at La Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). Through holistic approaches as well as therapy, I was able to overcome major depression, and life’s wild waves soon drew me to Cancun.

I left my studies at UNAM and taught high school students struggling with drug addiction and crises. This planted the seeds for pursuing the study of psychology. When I returned to the States at the turn of the century and got married, being a foster parent was one of the most challenging and enlightening experiences ever. Now, I guide parents (foster, adoptive and biological) as they raise their children with developmental and neurological challenges, providing holistic support to overcome overwhelm and burnout.

What I Offer & How I Work

I believe healing happens when we care for the whole person—body, mind, and soul. That’s why my services blend evidence-based practices with deep empathy and personalized support.

Together, we’ll look at the patterns behind your symptoms and develop practical strategies to restore your energy, improve mental clarity, and calm your nervous system. This may include:

Lifestyle shifts tailored to your energy and capacity
Nutritional guidance to support brain and gut health
Support in parenting children with ADHD or other neurodiversities
Tools for managing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm
Optional Christian integration for spiritual alignment

You won’t find cookie-cutter plans here. Your story, your values, your goals and your vision will be honored for a healthier, more peaceful life.

Who I Help

If you’re a parent, foster parent, or caregiver who’s spent years putting others first while quietly suffering from unexplained symptoms, emotional burnout, or deep exhaustion… this space was made for you.

I work best with those who:

Are ready for lifestyle changes to achieve optimal health
Are navigating life with children who have ADHD, autism, or other special needs
Feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or like no one really understands what they’re going through
Are open to integrative healing and ready for a deeper, more holistic path to wellness

You’ve likely tried a lot already—supplements, diets, various therapies, doctor visits—but something still isn’t right. You need support. Real, personalized, compassionate support from someone who gets it. That’s where I come in.
