Healing attachment wounds by utilizing self-compassion and mindfulness is very meaningful to me. I believe everyone can thrive with the right support and nourishing relationships.

My work is grounded in holding space to deeply love and understand yourself; which of course increases love and understanding for others. It’s about exploring the freedom that comes from being more of who you really are and less of who you think you should be.

My work is motivated by universal love for all living beings and the planet. My deepest desire is to support a collective shift in consciousness that allows all beings and the planet to heal. I work in the intersection of spirituality, personal development, and the healing arts. My desire is for more people to live from their true nature; while valuing the gifts every being has to offer.

I believe deeper transformation occurs through experience. This is more than just intellectualizing, talking, or reading about ways to heal. I support my clients with having healing experiences in and out of therapy.

The word Heal comes from the old English word haelen meaning “wholeness.” Healing is not about being sick and getting well. That’s called “curing.” To heal is to come to wholeness — as an individual, as a family, as a company, as a society, as a country, or even as a world. It was Ram Dass who first helped me understand this true meaning of healing and its distinction from curing.

Ancestral Healing is a spiritually grounded ritual process that empowers you to connect, repair, and nurture relationships with your own wise and loving ancestors. It’s also a way to support the healing process for generations born after you. When we heal ourselves, we heal our entire family line: past, present and future generations. Pain is passed through family lines, until someone is willing to feel it, heal it, and let it go.

Reiki I and II (distance Reiki) are energy healing practices that channel universal energy known as ki, pronounced “chi.” This is the same energy involved in tai chi. Reiki aids in the body’s natural healing process and promotes emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) changes how the unconscious mind processes information so that improvements are natural and automatic.

Some additional approaches include: experiential, Somatic Experiencing (SE), spiritual, depth-oriented, affirming, clinical hypnosis, trauma-informed, expressive arts, attachment theory, Mindfulness, meditation mentoring, DBT, CBT, and self-compassion practices,
