My approach
Just as a seed will grow into a plant, and a plant will seek water and grow towards light, there is an intrinsic capacity within all living organisms to heal and to grow, and a natural inclination to move in this direction. My approach is guided by trust in the wisdom of this inner healing intelligence.
I integrate body-mind-spirit traditions using an approach that is holistic, co-creative, and affirming of divergent and non-dual ways of being, thinking, and relating.
Areas of focus
I work with people navigating a range of life experiences relating to:
- Sense of Self
- Emotional and somatic awareness and expression
- Trauma resolution and personal growth
- Psychospiritual inquiry, development, and emergence
- Rites of passage and psychospiritual transformation, including pre-birth, birth, coming of age, midlife, and beyond
This includes therapeutic and ceremonial support in areas such as:
Pre-birth and birth experiences and memories; Family of origin and relationships; Life transitions; Stress and overwhelm; Depression and anxiety; Anger and grief; Guilt and shame; Social and cultural conditioning; All aspects of gender and sexuality; and Psychedelic preparation and integration.
About me
I am a holistic practitioner working in the realms of transpersonal psychotherapy, spiritual care, and psychedelic integration, with a focus on pre-birth and birth awareness and consciousness-based healing. Birth psychology and work with non-ordinary states of consciousness are areas of special interest.
I welcome you to reach out with any questions at all or to schedule an initial conversation to see if this feels like the right fit.
