I’m here for all of it...
I can help you create an inner hospitality of non-judgement and self- compassion. I can walk with you to the deepest places in your psyche where the root causes of your suffering reside. Together, we can process the pain of your wounding and learn new patterns that will set you FREE to give and receive the love you deserve.
I’ve been where you are.
I’ve had my dark night, my mid life awakening, and my inner and outer reckoning. I’ve shed many beliefs. I’ve processed many wounds. I understand what your journey is asking of you. This is how it begins….
When you are sick and tired of holding it all together, you will (finally) break down and let it all go. The catharsis of purging what you have been carrying can become involuntary. Call it mental illness, suffering, or spiritual emergency, there are simply times when life humbles you to your very core, and breaks you open—hard. Like a forest fire, it’s as volatile as it is nourishing.
Although this purification process is uncomfortable, there is often an accompanying sense that it is necessary for you to allow it. The unfolding of all that you thought you were can simultaneously be maddening and incredibly relieving.
I’m for the humans in a Life Crisis who seek a fearless witness for their unraveling.
For me personally, plant medicine experiences swiftly unloaded the baggage and cleared my vision. I realized, as I let go of the many layers of identity I’d built, that I am simply human—something for which there is no cure, only acceptance. It’s not a sin to be human…but it is a challenge.
Understanding who you really are is the only path that can truly set you free.
For me, the search for self-knowledge is a deep, unavoidable drive. It helped me to deeply understand myself. My nature is to be deeply sensitive to the most subtle change of energy. On a micro level, this is the gift of compassion, empathy and attunement. On a macro scale, this is the experience of existential anxiety and collective grief. These burdens need to be beared and the sensitive among us are bearing them.
In the midst of these overwhelming forces, and your inherent nature, you need a path forward—one that is authentic to your experience and leads you toward a freedom that feels possible and real.
I’m for the sensitive, self-aware folks who feel and think deeply.
Usually, the more you learn about yourself, the more you come to realize…you have been reducing your fullest expression to make the people you are attached to more comfortable.
At some point, you simply can’t do it anymore. Especially in midlife, you become too tired to say "yes" when you really mean "no." Over time, the masks you’ve worn begin to fall away, and what’s left is simply the ongoing process of unveiling who you really are.
This parts the waters of your life, often in dramatic and transformative ways. Allowing the shedding to move into form is a great challenge for many. If you want to be free, you must show up anyway, and accept the repercussions, for which there are many.
The inner reckoning is also an outer reckoning. You can either fight this or allow it. It’s helpful to know—a shedding does what it promises—and you will feel lighter for it.
I’m for the reforming people pleasers who are ready to discover their authenticity and start showing up.
I’m for the sacred journey traveler…the soul seeker…and the wholesome human.
Transforming mental illness or suffering into an upgrade in your state of consciousness is what is known as a transformational healing journey. Whether we know it or not, this is happening for us our whole lives. When we are intentional and aware, we can get to the core of the wounding and we can have the great shedding we need.
When you do that…when you let it all go, when you are who you are and it’s all ok……well, you just may discover that you are far more than simply human.
If you should find your sacred at the center…well…don’t blame me, because it changes everything. But, I’m here for all of it!
