As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I integrate evidence based psychotherapy with depth psychology, somatic awareness, EMDR, and shamanic approaches to help people heal from trauma, reconnect with themselves, and create lives that feel more in balance and aligned.

For nearly two decades I have studied the places where psychology, spirituality, and human transformation meet. My work has included advanced training in EMDR, AEDP, psychedelic assisted therapy, shamanic practice, and trauma informed care. I have supported people through grief, life transitions, spiritual emergence, altered states of consciousness, and the profound journey of returning home to themselves.

Whether we are working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship wounds, or the persistant feeling that something is missing, I trust that each personal carries an innate healing intelligence. My role is not to tell you who you are, but to help create the conditions in which your wisdom can emerge.

I strive to offer a grounded, compassionate, and deeply attuned therapeutic relationship where all parts of you are welcome-including the parts that have long been hidden, protected or misunderstood.

Being a person of the rainbow raised in a high control Christian environment, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ people, those navigating the transition of expanding consciousness beyond organized religion, highly sensitive people, helpers, healers, and those seeking therapy that honors both psyche and spirit.

A word about words…

Shaman is not the right word to describe who I am and what I do. Shaman is a word to describe someone from an indigenous earth based culture who apprenticed and trained from an unbroken lineage. Their healing work happens in the context of the culture’s cosmology.

Witch is not the right word. Although my ancestors come from the British Isles, “witch” was a word coined by the patriarchy to disempower and even kill those people who were the wisdom keepers of their own earth based lineages. Over time people became afraid of those who were sovereign and could heal, see, and know.

Therapist is also not the right word. Although I have credentials and have obtained education in many modalities this word is limiting and does not acknowledge my world view or way of practicing.

Because an accurate word in the context of our culture does not exist, I choose to use the approximation, “shamanic psychotherapist” to communicate my credentials and also that I work with a worldview of the interconnectedness of being- that trees, rocks, and rivers have as much personhood as humans, dogs and horses. I work with the unseen world of energy and other beings. I track the movement of the stars as well as the nervous system. Reciprocity and right relationship are the sacred heart of my ethics.
