The transformation you seek already lives within the universe carried inside of your Self.
​
Something in you already knows the way;
I am here to support and sit with you as you remember it.
​
​
I support transformation and transmutation across a variety of contexts and catalysts, with relationship as the primary organizing principle of my ethos and approach.
​
Upon first glance, pattern-seekers often identify the most apparent throughline of my work to be "trauma, trauma, trauma."
Certainly, that thread is woven within and across most (if not all) invitations I receive. Yet zooming in a bit more reveals that the wound stems from indelible ruptures rippling through relationships -- with Self, other, and/or the broader world.
I maintain an anchor in hope knowing how harm which happens in relationship also has the capacity to be healed in the context of consistent, accepting, trusting, affirming relationships over time. It is my honor to serve as a model and a mirror for what can be possible in the way of reclamation and restoration to support the fullest expression and enjoyment of all that the journey of becoming a person has to offer.
I am willing to work with you in a very "choose your own adventure" approach to the work within what fits, blending and braiding a variety of ancient, empirically-supported, emerging, and/or personally significant practices and approaches. With access to a fuller range of expression and enjoyment of what a life aligned with your values and vision has to offer, expansion across the domains of whole-human wellbeing can support and sustain virtuous cycles rather than vicious ones. While suffering and enduring harm may at times be beyond our control in the future, with an expanded range of resiliency, you will emerge courageous to face what comes your way as well as confident in your capacity to weather even the strongest of storms.

Fellow helping and healing professionals
Each offering as captured across various sections of this webpage contains information on offerings for potential partners in change falling under various umbrellas that I find meaningful and generative. Each experience is unique as my approach across contexts is holistic, integrative, relational, honest, and embodied based on the unique constellation of needs and hopes that underpin the work. I strive to maintain attunement and humility along the path, providing perspective, patience, persistence, playfulness, and presence to help you uncover, unlock, and unleash your inner healing intelligence and expertise of your Self.​
Some of what I bring to this work came through formal training. Depending on where you encounter me, you will see various letters after my name, embossed certificates, acronyms describing leading-edge approaches I have been extensively and expertly trained in, and other "typical" external markers of competency.
I also personally possess a love for lifelong learning and continuously seek out new and emerging understandings through research and ongoing education I voluntarily pursue far beyond licensure and certification status requirements based on my own volition, ambition, experience, interests, and belief that it is ethically imperative for me to keep current on that which impacts the work I do and those with whom I do it.
I also engage in and on a rotating basis co-facilitate volunteer and paid peer consultation groups to ensure I am not becoming myopic in my perspective, and with permission from participants and partners in change will engage in paid case consultation where tapping into niche knowledge or more expansive expertise could benefit all involved.
​
Much else of what I bring to this work came through living as a human person with a complex set of identities and experiences. I do not show up to this work without firsthand knowledge of navigating a world that has asked me to hold and heal harm I did not choose to carry.
​
To this point: I maintain a robust team of helping and healing professionals as well as meaningful, supportive connections to maintain my own wellbeing to ensure I arrive to my work as spacious and capacious as I can be. From regular therapy with an IFS Level 3 Therapist, to Somatic Experiencing personal sessions, to yoga and art teachers, to body and energy workers, to mentors representing a wide variety of ages and backgrounds, and supportive people with whom I share reciprocally rewarding, loving relationships are all important parts of how I nurture a fulfilling life such that I am able to provide these offerings. This creates space for me to bring my authentic (decidedly not "blank slate"), earnest, human Self to do this work in the world.
