During unsteady times, we can become consumed and overwhelmed by our own pain and suffering. We may hide from the world and even from ourselves. The idea of being seen may evoke shame, fear, and anxiety that can keep us stuck. In our work together, we will practice navigating the crashing waves of life, diving below what seems to be true, and connecting with something larger than ourselves.
I am an inner wilderness guide, gentle shadowdiver, and explorer of unknowns. As a curious companion and traveler of paradox, I will accompany you as we explore what it means to be imperfectly perfect—human, whole, and enough. My experience and expertise is in spiritual trauma, life transitions, existential questioning, and queer identity exploration.
Deeper insight and self-knowing can bring a sense of groundedness and meaning amidst the chaos and mystery of life. Engage your aliveness and awaken shared humanity. Shift into what is now in this moment. Together, let's discover the many parts of you and embrace your uniqueness within an ever-diverse and interconnected web.
