"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver
This is an invitation. A space to commune with your inner world through creative ritual, art making, dreamwork, myth & storytelling, movement & dance, somatic exploration, earth-based wisdom traditions and ancestral healing arts practices. Weaving together the realms of Earth, Body, Spirit & Psyche with depth psychotherapy & integrative clinical counseling .
At times, we've all struggled with feelings of unworthiness, isolation, fear, grief and disconnection. It may be from the life you’ve created, relationships you’ve chosen, secret desires you’ve rejected, or parts of yourself that you have abandoned to please others. My clients are people who are searching for their authentic voice, yearn to reconnect to their intuition and ancestral wisdom, and create a sense of home in their bodies and lives. But, there are times when you may have found yourself on the outside looking in, and no longer able to see yourself reflected in the world around you.
Sessions with me integrate ritual, art making, myth & storytelling, movement & dance, Tarot, somatic exploration & dreamwork as pathways for healing and doorways to the wild unconscious. I combine intuitive, arts-based approaches with clinical interventions to address experiences of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, individual & generational trauma, codependency, perfectionism, developing intuition & discernment, healing from narcissistic abuse, codependency & attachment, reparenting & inner child development, spiritual awakenings, artistic blocks, life transitions, grief & loss, self-regulation and self-esteem, while using creative rituals to help give shape to feelings not easily expressed in words.
I offer a loving space to explore the unconscious lands of your feelings and choices, examine the invisible patterns that have influenced your life, while using creative tools & ritual to cultivate connection, self awareness and empowerment, choose your next steps with clarity and live your life with freedom.
