“The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.”
~ Henri Nouwen
In relationship we’re wounded, and in relationship we ‘re healed.
When is the last time you felt unconditionally accepted, exactly as you are? It’s my belief that among all of our deepest desires is the longing to be fully seen, validated and loved, when all the masks are taken away - for who we truly and authentically are. I offer a safe, heartfelt, compassionate space in which individuals can reveal their deepest vulnerabilities and, in finding true acceptance, begin the process of healing lifelong wounds.
You are the expert and author of your own life experience.
My approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you — based upon what you need in the present moment. There is no one-size-fits all or canned approach I use with each client — as there’s only one “you!” I employ interventions based upon the depth of over a decade of clinical training — led, always, by my intuition.
I’ll never ask you to travel where I’ve not dared to tread.
I am inspired and informed by author and theologian Henri Nouwen’s concept of “The Wounded Healer.”
I am a therapist, coach and intuitive — yet first and foremost, a fellow traveler, seeker, and perpetual student.
Committed to life as a spiritual path, I have (and will always have!) my own therapist and coach.
In the role of therapist and coach, I see myself as a guide, an ally in your healing journey.
I was inspired to become a therapist and coach by the powerful mentors, therapists, coaches and teachers who have shone the light for me during my own darkest hours.
I make no guarantees, promises or contracts as to where we’ll end up.
What I can say — based upon my professional and personal experience — is that when we create the safety necessary to turn towards ourselves in vulnerability and compassion, approaching all of our parts and life experience with gentle inquiry and curiosity — it is in that acceptance of what is that — paradoxically — we get un-stuck, and true change occurs.

My approach is integrative and holistic — there’s no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy and coaching!
My background lies in the realm of Transpersonal Psychology. I embrace an attachment-based and client-centered orientation to therapy. My primary approaches in psychotherapy include Somatic, Nature-Based, and Mindfulness-Informed methodologies. I have advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach to nervous system regulation and trauma healing.
I am certified as a coach via the Earth-Based Institute. As a life coach, I support my clients to remove internal blockages and barriers to living their best lives — from relationship, to business, to spiritual alignment.

My clients encompass a wide range of demographics and life experience, with one commonality: a commitment to living a life of alignment.

I have over a decade of clinical experience as both a licensed psychotherapist and certified coach.
