Are you looking to change patterns? Heal? Connect with your deeper Self and live more fully? I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, stress, and move through life transitions. I enjoy working with people from a variety of different backgrounds, personal identities, and life circumstances.

Over the past 16 years, I enjoyed working in hospice/end-of-life care, family trauma treatment in foster care prevention services, prenatal and postpartum maternal mental health, outpatient mental health, college mental health, and private practice.

I have a Depth Psychotherapy (Jungian) and Integrative, Mind-Body approach to therapy. I use my training in EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-informed treatment, somatic therapy, IFS, art and creativity, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and depth psychology to provide inner work for meaningful change. My clients often comment that I am a refreshing mix of down-to-earth, grounded, direct, humorous, warm, and intuitive.

As a strength-based therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to improve functioning, wellbeing, and quality of life. But it’s more than that. What I do is really about connecting my clients to their deepest sense of purpose, wellbeing, and peace. I am here to walk with you, alongside you, as you take that noble journey of self-awareness and transformation. I love what I do!

BEES, the hive, honey…

What do HONEY BEES evoke for you?

🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
📸The image is a watercolor I created many years ago

Bees are a ubiquitous symbol and ally for humans for centuries.

Let’s circumambulate this archetypal symbol. What are your associations. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Especially the apiarists out there. 🍯

Here is one of my favorite honey poems from a Spanish poet to get us started

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that a spring was breaking
out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh water, are you coming to me,
water of a new life
that I have never drunk?

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that a fiery sun was giving
light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt
warmth as from a hearth,
and sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.

Last night as I slept,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that it was God I had
here inside my heart.
Antonio Machado

Reason 1000 million why I love therapy…

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”

OWLS.

What do they symbolize for you? What are they messengers of? What are your associations?

I’m so curious your thoughts. At four in the morning, a great horned owl came to visit me outside my window and hooted for two hours. I know what that visit means to me but it got me thinking how others think about owls, specifically the Great Horned Owl. 🦉

Dear loves,

🌿”ECO-SOMATICS”🌿

That’s what I’ve been practicing for the past 6 years. I finally found a name for it. 🫶

Another name for it is ancestral healing. It’s been know and experienced by earth-based communities for millennia. So it’s kinda silly that it has a new name..but stay with me here.

Ecosomatics is a new movement that recognizes how the experience we have of our own bodies is tied to nature.

Ecology combined with somatics.

We heal in connection with our environment. Our bodies and the earth are integral to our wellbeing. Creativity is a part of all this. Soul is a part of all this.
That is all.

I recently went to a talk by Prentis Hemphill and they shared how embodiment IS the healing work and it is the movement.

Thank you for listening 🌿

“Here’s the clincher: Nature is not outside us. It is not the woods or mountains accessed only when we walk out the door of our home. We are nature. We are water, earth, fire, and air. We are cells, microbes, and bacteria. Ecosomatics recognizes the personal body as inextricable from the planetary body. Our body is part of the global ecosystem. The ecology of our body is part of the ecology of earth.

Everything connects. My words with your thoughts. Your thoughts with your motivation. Your motivation with a chosen action. The outside temperature with your mood. The level of the river with the length of your shower. The pollination of a crop with your food. The activity of your cells with the activity of microbes, fungus, and bacteria.”

I’ve been studying Jung. 🗝️

Some may know that studying Jung is a lifelong endeavor and becomes like this inner fire. 🔥

All summer and into the fall and it keeps going and it keep awakening in me and it keeps breathing life into areas that were once asleep and it is tying threads to mend where there where once holes.

May it be of benefit. Aho.
