“Cry Uncle,” is a story of sexual abuse recovery and codependency and the long range effects they have into adulthood. Written over ten years from personal journal entries, these post chronicle how embracing adversity can become a learning opportunity for spiritual growth.

As a therapist, mediator and attorney, I keep my life private. I now share my own very personal journey in intimate detail to hopefully inspire others with similar challenges.

I lived with  an eating disorders and chronic illness, as I continued to explore the correlation between “keeping the peace” at the expense of authentically asking for what I wanted and needed.

I finally understand and proclaim that “codependence is not compassion”, and “love is the answer, and it starts with loving your SELF.”

As I heal and hold my“Inner Child,” I release my “managing parts” from their habitual protective jobs of care-taking others, denying and repressing.

I have freed up energy for possibility, creativity and connection.

I continue the process of integrating my divine masculine and divine feminine energy.

My “cry”now is one of ego surrender and opening to divine grace.
