Are you ready to co-create a safe and supportive space for healing and transformation? I work with clients committed to shedding layers of conditioning, releasing old patterns, and creating space for profound evolution. If you are on a journey of higher consciousness, spiritual growth, or awakening, I offer conscious counseling to guide and support you. Whether you seek spiritual guidance, support in awakening, or integration support, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you.

I integrate evidence-based and holistic approaches, including EMDR- and DBT-informed care, hypnosis, Reiki (Master Teacher), and somatic and sound-based practices. I hold advanced training in psychedelic integration and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, including MAPS trainings in MDMA and psilocybin therapy.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or are an experienced explorer, I offer compassionate support and guidance tailored to your unique path. Together, we can create space for healing, growth, and transformation. I invite you to reach out and explore how we might walk this path side by side.
