Experiencing loss in life is 100% going to happen. This could be a death, loss of a relationship, a friendship, a pet. Sometimes you can see it coming and wonder if there is any way to stop it. Other times you're blindsided. Now your world feels unstable or $h!t is upside down. Navigating or preparing for loss is isolating & may make you feel and do all sorts of confusing things. You may be trying to emerge from this with a deeper understanding of yourself, improve your relationships, find confidence in your direction in life, restore a sense of safety/stability in the world or just cope with what is happening. Either way, I'm here.

I will support you in mourning, changing & rebuilding after tragedy through deep exploration, create meaning & for some, psychedelic prep & integration. I will help you feel more at ease, rebuild safety & stability in finding a different direction.

Whatever you lost, we're going find it or create something new - even if it means through hell to get to the other side. I’m not afraid to go to hard places with you. You are NOT too much. There will be tears & laughter. Let it be messy. I value collaboration, connectedness & authenticity. When you’re ready, let’s connect & take the long way home.
