Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client is one who has a metaphysical world view or has an interest in Jungian Analysis / Depth Work / Dream Analysis / Alchemy / Mysticism/ Faith Based paradigms and would like guidance in discerning their personal experiences with synchronicity, dreamscape, archetypal relationship dynamics, metaphysics, or other aspects of their unique individuation journey. I tend to work with artists, teachers, students, writers, musicians, and other mental health providers who are seeking a psycho-spiritual lens that is tempered by a blending of metaphysics and science so that protocols stay evidence based and backed by research.

We all carry emotional struggles—some more painful and enduring than others—that shape how we experience the present. At times, our feelings may seem dismissed or misunderstood by others, leaving us in conflict or emotional distress.
Healing begins with the courage to look within. With the grace of God and a gradual process of exploring your inner world—particularly the beliefs and experiences that have shaped you—you can begin to understand, heal, and transform. This journey can lead to deeper relationships, greater self-acceptance, and renewed emotional well-being.

Vulnerability researcher and storyteller Brené Brown stated once that authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we are. Do you feel insecure, lost, or helpless? Do you ever feel immense pressure to be someone that you are not? Do you feel depressed or anxious about life’s journey or had a loss? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or the future, preventing you from truly living a joyous life? Have you experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move forward? I will help you understand yourself better so you can live a peaceful and happier life.

I specialize in addiction and utilize those principles to address issues relating to anxiety, depression and stress. Most would say they do not have an addiction issue, however, we can become addicted to negative thoughts established over time, almost like an addiction. We can't help but feel hopeless, overwhelmed, incapable, etc because it's a pattern we've allowed ourselves to believe, therefore becoming a habit - becoming an addiction. Lets break those chains of addiction! It's time to start living!
