My Philosophy
I believe that healing happens through remembrance- a return through relationship with the body, our inner experiences, and the deeper intelligence moving through life. True transformation does not rush, but it unfolds naturally when we open up to what is emerging and its organic rhythm.
My Journey Back to Myself
For over twenty years, I’ve been devoted to practicing approaches that honor the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit. Alongside my formal training in Counseling Psychology and life-long personal study, I have studied with healers and practitioners across various traditions. My work is continuously fueled and inspired by depth psychology, creativity, movement, nature, the landscape of relationships, the mysteries of the unknown, and a commitment to learning continuously within my field and beyond.
But my most powerful training came from my own life.
For a long time, I lived exactly how society told me to- caught up in a fast-paced “go-go” culture of constant doing and pushing. In that rush, I unconsciously suppressed my authenticity and true pacing. Eventually, my body rebelled, and I spent years navigating chronic physical symptoms that no doctor could fully explain.
My healing was not a quick fix. Instead of continuing a battle against my body, it became a slow, honest process of stepping out of the collective rush, turning inward, and learning how to listen to my true inner voice.
Welcoming the symptoms as meaningful expressions of my deeper life process didn’t just ease the physical discomfort- it completely shifted how I live, relate, and experience the world.
How I Meet You
This personal path deeply informs how I show up for you. I know firsthand how exhausting, isolating, and disorienting it is to live with chronic symptoms. I know what it’s like to feel afraid of the uncertainty, frustrated by setbacks, and to feel that deep longing to finally understand what your body is trying to say to you.
I am here to walk beside you as a partner in your exploration, rather than handing you a rigid formula or pushing you past your boundaries.
My Approach
My work is soul-centered and grounded in Process Work (the depth psychology developed by Arnold and Amy Mindell). This modality trusts the vital intelligence moving through our symptoms, dreams, emotions, and movement impulses.
Instead of rushing to “fix” what’s happening, we slow down to track what is showing up in the present moment, allowing a shift to occur organically. To support that unfolding, I weave in:
- Jungian Psychology & Parts Work: to meet and welcome the different voices within.
- Expressive Arts Therapy: to give form and color to the unsaid.
- Shamanic Healing Practices: to anchor a deep, embodied awareness.
Walking the Path Together
Our work together is collaborative, relational, and deeply respectful of your nervous system. We slow things down enough to meet whatever is present with curiosity rather than judgment.
From this unhurried space, things begin to shift on their own- through connection rather than force. Over time, what was once stuck naturally reorganizes, allowing who you truly are to blossom on your own terms.
You Are Not Broken
Healing doesn’t ask you to become someone else.
It invites you back into relationship with who you have always been.
