Experiencing loss in life is 100% going to happen—whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the passing of a pet. Sometimes you see it coming and can brace yourself. Other times it blindsides you and your $h!T is upside down, especially if the loss was sudden, traumatic, or touched old wounds. Grief messes with how you think, feel, and relate—to yourself and others. You might feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure who you are now. Maybe it’s impacting your relationships, sense of safety, or ability to cope. Whatever brings you here, I’m here—and we’re doing this together.

I help clients explore who they are now because of loss—not defined by it, but shaped by it. We may reimagine connections with loved ones through memory, ritual, or signs. I also offer support with psychedelic prep and integration. My approach centers safety, relationship, meaning-making, and rebuilding a sense of 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.
