PERSONAL As I open up about my journey, I am guided by the countless tears that have shaped it. I was born on September 11, 1992, in the quaint, mountainous village of Boz-Uchuk in the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan. This region is home to the second-largest high-altitude lake in the world and the seventh-deepest lake globally. In 2005, when I was 12 years old, I migrated to the United States.         I have always known that something was innately different about me. Throughout my upbringing—marked by numerous traumatic events, including extreme domestic violence, poverty, continual separation from my mother, extensive verbal, emotional, and physical abuse by my older brother, constant relocation, and pervasive envy—I came to loathe the earthly existence defined by gender disparity. This narrative told me that my worth was defined by marrying a Kyrgyz Muslim man and remaining a virgin until my wedding. It added that I should give birth to his children, be a housewife, and prioritize cleaning, cooking, and pleasing my future husband above all else.​        I was raised to become a slave to man. My father witnessed the physical abuse of his mother by my grandfather, and I was taught to believe that this was the “cultural norm.” Women had no voice, and whenever they disobeyed they were physically dominated and “put in their place.” I was led to believe that there was no higher path for me. Thankfully, fate had an alternate path in store for me... PROFESSIONAL        Honestly, all I ever wanted was to provide therapy—to sit across from someone and help them feel fully seen. There’s truly no experience like it; it embodies the most intimate, raw beauty. Every person carries a unique story of pain, triumph, resilience, and divinity. I genuinely love people. Counseling is not just a job to me; it is my soul's deeply known higher calling. I believe I possess a natural aptitude for it. Helping others has rarely felt like a 'job' or a burden; it is an authentic expression of myself. It’s an intuitive lifestyle, filling me with love, unity, fellowship, purpose, discovery, and transformation. It is truly indescribable how deeply fulfilling I find it. Every person I’ve worked with has taught me something—about myself, the human psyche, and the nature of pain and its process toward healing. It continues to do so, and I believe it always will.         I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Wright State University. I changed my major three times and even failed my very first psychology course. I almost dropped out after that, but my inner compass knew better. I had come so far and had always loved learning and academia. So, I got my act together, quit my full-time job, and dedicated all my focus to my studies. Each semester after that, I earned a 4.0, all the way until graduation. I went straight into a master’s program and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.        I loved Wright State; it was my stomping ground for eight full years. I cherished my passionate professors, diverse peers, and the fact that it symbolized the formal beginning and commitment to my professional calling. I maintained a 4.0 from start to finish in graduate school because I was deeply driven to understand how you and I become who we are today. I took my studies very seriously because, to me, the stakes were too high. Hurting someone who had already endured enough pain to seek refuge in therapy felt deeply personal.        However, education alone didn't prepare me the way seven years in the workforce did. It is a rare honor to earn someone's trust to help lead them from the depths of trauma toward healing and recovery, and to not fail them in that delicate process. But I failed. A lot. Yet each mistake gifted me with invaluable lessons, each leading me toward immeasurable future successes. Each experience played an instrumental role in shaping who I am today as the well-educated and thoroughly experienced healer you see before you. LEADERSHIP & TEAM-WORK        Leadership has continually been reflected throughout my journey. In high school, I was a co-captain of the volleyball and swimming teams. I was the recipient of the season’s Most Improved and Sportsmanship awards. In undergraduate school, I co-founded Developing Personal Vision, a student-led group counseling organization based on Hanbleceya's "A Quest for Vision: The Stages of Belonging" principles of trust, gregariousness, cooperation, love, friendship, intimacy, and attachment.        In graduate school, I was president of my college’s Dean’s Student Advisory Board and its elected senator in the Student Government Association. I was also a member of the faculty and staff Diversity and Inclusion Committee, serving as the student-body representative for the College of Education & Human Resources. Additionally, I served as the Chapter President of Chi Sigma Iota, the international and professional academic honor society for counseling. I'm a natural leader and a devoted team player. SPIRITUAL        Honestly, this was a significant challenge to compose. I mean… how does one even begin to capture and describe the essence of their whole being? All its unique complexities, yet plain simplicity—just like every person I’ve had the honor to connect with and work alongside these past seven years. My story is a long one, and it continues to unfold before you right now. To make this matter easy for you—yes, YOU, the immaculate human being—who is deciding whether or not a ‘total stranger’ is trustworthy, on a mission to figure out just who the fuck this ‘total stranger’ really is. ​I get it.        What makes ME worthy enough to walk alongside you as you embark on the single most terrifyingly fulfilling intimate journey of deep soul-searching and healing? Right off the bat, you face your first challenge: Face The Unknown, which is the key to its entrance. The key that only YOU have the willpower to use, unlocking the sought-after answers to all your questions. All the depths of your deepest, darkest hidden fears—masked uniquely behind every wound you’ve ever had to bottle up to survive—are waiting to be faced directly and fully restored to their innate original glory. Your current struggles—some with a never-fucking-ending cycle—have now reached a turning point. By God, the lingering suffering that these masks have the audacity to sprinkle onto your everyday life has risen from tolerable to straight unbearable. You’re fucking tired. Tired of denying or avoiding their collective burden on you. Tired of pretending that you’re not always tired. I get it.        I want you to know that no amount of written words will ever fully encapsulate the entirety of who I am or the ‘trustworthiness’ of my being to guide you on this journey. Each person is simply felt and sensed; you just know. Our intuitive vibrational frequency collectively calls it “the vibes” to signal this felt sense of knowing. You’ve heard of it. In fact, you’ve been sensing me this whole time, at a level so profound yet wordless. It has been sending you your Chief inner knowing reaction about the potential value of this engagement and its future visions, as it does with every engagement you encounter—innately, with natural accuracy and pristine integrity in reflecting your GOD-HONEST TRUTH.        You and I equally understand and celebrate our knowing and the unified force that sources it. Honestly, my intention to reach those who truly seek to benefit and thrive from working with me is entirely rooted in my knowing that I will. ​You get it.​
