Fluent
I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.
~John O'Donohue

I work in several domains pulling together three decades of professional work in human development, leadership, teaching and coaching.

In any given session as an integrative therapist, my methodology and approach is informed by studies and practices in somatics, leadership development, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, depth hypnosis, shamanism, energy medicine, the Enneagram, Tibetan Buddhism, soul-centric human development, nature-based healing, and equine-assisted counseling. My deep background in curricular design and teaching innovation are highlighted in my therapeutic and coaching sessions and workshops.

I am a certified depth hypnosis practitioner, hypnotherapist, applied shamanic counselor, somatic leadership coach, integrative enneagram practitioner, equine guided therapist, and ordained interfaith spiritual counselor.

Offerings

  • Integrative therapy

  • Enneagram Coaching and Counseling

    • Explore yourself through the Enneagram. A powerful map of the self that promotes growth on a spiritual, psychological, and somatic level.

  • Depth Hypnosis

    • Processes facilitate deep healing through insight inquiry, guided meditations, and regression work. One of the ways depth hypnosis differs from traditional talk therapy is we connect you, through altered states work, with a guide within yourself. Altered states work allows you to access information within your psyche/your subconscious. We do not always know what unresolved trauma from the past is connected to the present. Altered states work allows for that pathway to open and for us to find healing in often unexpected places. Having a guide within yourself on this deeper level, supports you by holding a compassionate container, being a wise advocate, and promoting reconciliation within the self. This method provides a safe way to explore the root of current issues, leading to a reclaiming of power, compassionate understanding and dissolution of the presenting symptoms.

  • Applied Shamanic Counseling

    • We apply traditional shamanic practices to a modern world context.

    • This process involves using the repetitive sound of a drum to bring you into an altered state where you can access your inherent wisdom and gain insights into questions and challenges you may be facing. We journey together to discover what the psyche wants to share and the wisdom held there.

  • Equine Guided Therapy

    • Horses are sentient beings that provide profound somatic feedback based on a person’s energy. This allows participants to gain unparalleled insights into who they are and what they might want to practice to fully embody who they want to be.

  • Somatic Leadership Coaching

    • Leaders learn to align their speech and actions with their deepest beliefs—thereby building trust in those around them, leading to greater outcomes.

  • Nature-based Healing and Coaching

    • Nature has a way of holding us as we move through life. Transformational experiential exercises are specifically tailored to your needs and desires.

  • Curriculum Innovation & Design

    • I support teachers, healers, coaches, and writers in creating innovative, anti-racist, experiential curricula.

  • Officiant

    • Commitment ceremonies, rites of passage, sacred moments. Let’s create a ceremony that speaks to you.
