Advanced healing, soulful integration, and embodied transformation. You’ve done the therapy. You’ve read the books. You’ve gained insight and awareness, but still, something in you knows there’s more. More freedom. More truth. More vitality waiting just beneath the surface. This is where I come in. With over 20 years of clinical and leadership experience, I specialize in helping people who are ready for deep, lasting change—not just symptom relief, but soul-rooted transformation. My clients are highly intuitive, self-aware, and committed to growth. They want to fully embody their healing and live with clarity, wholeness, joy.
I offer a unique blend of psychological expertise, somatic, Internal Family Systems, and transpersonal therapies. For those drawn to expanded states, I provide energy medicine, conscious embodiment dance and ketamine-assisted guide work to deepen the journey.
This is your invitation to work with someone who will see your brilliance, hold your depth, and walk beside you with warmth, skill, and unwavering presence. I work with a select number of clients who are truly ready and seeking an experienced guide to help them clear what remains, reclaim their power, and fully embody their next evolution.
