I help the people I work with find and embrace their most core experience, dark parts and all.
How can we be in deep contact with this life when the world demands anger, separation, and doubt? Even after years of growth work and therapy, it can be hard to find our way to a connected life of meaning and aliveness. This is compounded when our old, patterned stories of fear and shame keep us from truly touching inward and out.
Our inner critics and fears can keep us in a state of separation from our wild, open-hearted selves. We live in a culture devoid of a mythic lens, community support, ritual, movement, and compassion. It can be hard to peer past the fires of destruction, or use those fires in the alchemic stove. We aren’t taught how to find who we are on a soul level. And that’s what I want to find out together. Who are you really? Why are you here?
I work with seekers who wish to create lives that are impactful and rich. This is soul-level work that we will design together to wake you up to the lucidity that is always available to us, and learn how to dance with the harder-to-be-with parts-- to allow for more flexibility, trust, and creativity.
Sometimes the journey to soul level work begins with a focus on relational/childhood trauma, inner critics, self doubt, anxiety, grief, lack of direction and purpose, and relationship or sexuality difficulties. I would like to start with you wherever you are.
I’m queer identified, and have experience with various gender identities, sexual expressions, and relationship structures.
We may use parts work, re-parenting, attachment theory, nervous system regulation skills, somatic attunement, the enneagram, ritual, mindfulness and meditation, writing, art, nature, and integration of mystical/psychedelic experiences to assist us in our journey.
Let’s tease out your personal myth and refine the chapters of your life through identifying where old limiting stories are keeping you stuck. Let's find your wildest rooted self.
I am a queer therapist, writer, homesteader, meditation facilitator, ritual enthusiast, and beauty seeker. I am learning that when we can find our way back to direct experience, this opens access to our gifts that are desperately needed by our communities and the Earth. From here, we become love in action.
