About

“We’re all just walking each other home.” - Ram Dass—All of us have traveled a path of challenges that have left us feeling overwhelmed, lost and scared. When faced with the fears and shadows that tragedy, change, pain and loss bring, we can become disoriented, scared, and despairing. Do you recognize that place, a landscape of shattered beliefs and lost identity? Reaching for light in the dark is a sign of your resilience. Come rest, be nurtured, and experience healing in a uniquely personalized journey, woven with an abundance of compassion, connection, warmth, and authenticity. Here, science and the spiritual and mystical unite.
My specialty is in Expressive Therapies and Ecotherapies, where you will have the option to experience fresh, creative, and meaningful healing methods using art, Journal Therapy, Sandtray, and Earth Medicine blended with familiar approaches. We are different here, where therapeutic relationships are held in reverence and healing will actually be fun!
As your guide, you have found in me a place where your wisdom will be illuminated, your own resilience awakened, and where you will be enveloped in comforting energies while walking through the dark. Your personal sovereignty on your path is held in the highest regard, and I love to help you uncover the wisdom that resides deep within you.
