The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe
~Joanna Macy
To survive in a traumatized, ego-centric culture filled with counterfeit images, we pay a steep price - trauma & pain in our disconnected bodies, loneliness & broken-heartedness in our relationships, and a deep, unmet longing for passionate, meaningful engagement with the world.
Crisis, illness, pain, suffering, and despair become catalysts for change, awakening our yearning for a more courageous, authentic, and embodied life.
Speaking to us through symptoms, grief, longings, images, and dreams- the soul calls us- beckoning us into the unknown, asking us to surrender what no longer serves us.
When we are present with pain & all of the limitations of human relatedness, we can access the transformative power & capacity of the boundless human heart.
Known by many different names—true essence, Soul, God-self, higher self, buddha-nature, capital-S Self—this presence within us and beyond heals and restores wholeness, unlocking the gems hidden in our sacred wounds and core vulnerabilities, allowing us to find true belonging.
Services I offer
I’m a therapist for folks who sense that healing is not just about feeling better or fixing what feels broken, but about coming into deeper relationship — with themselves, with others, ancestors, the Earth, and the larger story of this time.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), rooted in the belief that every part of you—no matter how overwhelmed, protective, or weary—has wisdom and deserves compassion.
I hold a spacious container where these parts can be gently met, honored, and supported in releasing the burdens they’ve carried, often across generations.
Therapy with me is not about transcending the messiness of life, but about tending to it with care, curiosity, and reverence.
Guided by earth-based and animist ways of knowing, I hold therapy as a sacred, relational and embodied space where your dreams, your grief, your longing, and your connection to the more-than-human world are honored—not as metaphors, but as meaningful, living truths.
You don’t need to have all of this figured out
You just need a willingness to turn toward your experience with care, curiosity, and courage.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
