every session is completely unique. this work is, by nature, incredibly tender and vulnerable. when we co-create a sacred space, all of your energies and energetic systems, guides, healed ancestors, beings you pray to or with, and beings who walk with you join us. my container is structured so that anyone who carries domination, dehumanization, or abusive energy cannot directly access our shared field. this provides you with a sovereign space to feel yourself, connect with your own consciousness, and receive direct messages from your own wisest knowing. most people have never experienced the absence of these pressing external energetics. that alone can be incredibly illuminating and healing.
while some people come with a list of questions or specific material they are working, others simply want to have a better understanding of the unseen world around them, further developing their psychic gifts. some are seeking more traditional counseling or somatic work. my job is to be present to your needs and to the ways that work best for you, to listen holistically, radically, to what’s said verbally and physically, and to tune into the psychic space we’re in. with Earth Mother as our guide and mentor, we attune to what it is you are seeking in the present that will serve you best as you walk your truth. you’ll share with me whatever you feel called to for as long as you feel you need to share and then i will drop into guidance from your consciousness and your field. together we will explore what comes up and get curious. i will ask questions about the information i am being presented with and we’ll peel back the layers to get to what’s useful to you in this moment. from there, sessions become highly individualized.

i am not a licensed therapist. i am a ministerial counselor specializing in somatics, trauma and ancestral healing.
-
absolutely. i will not share any part of your process or session with anyone else. you are free to share your experience with whomever feels safe for you.
-
the frequency of our meetings is completely up to you, dependent on my availability. i meet with some clients and students at regular intervals, weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. others treat themselves to a birthday session or have an annual check-in. some folks are working specific processes and need consistent support for set period of time. there are other clients who ask for process when they are faced with a crisis or big life decisions and need to drop into more clarity. we can meet however frequently you feel called to the work. we flex and flow with what serves you.

it’s both a joy and an honor to work with individuals who identify as neurodiverse, neurodivergent, or autistic. many of my clients and students are on the spectrum, and i welcome the opportunity to support you in a way that honors your unique experience. if there are particular ways you'd like to be held, or if there are approaches that don't resonate with you, i’d love to discuss them so i can tailor our work together to be nourishing and easeful for your nervous system.
-
i had a teacher for many years who would often remind me, “you are your own spiritual authority.” i believe that you hold your own wisdom and that your resilience is a sign of your internal reliability. i listen to your consciousness for how and what to share with you. our sessions together are very much guided by you.
-
i have years of one-on-one mentorship and training in psychotherapeutic medicine ceremony and am available to help process and pull the threads from plant medicine and psychedelic journeys.
i am also available to support those who may have suffered harm during their ceremonial process or who have struggled to reconnect with themselves or reality after a psychedelic experience.
-
that’s real! i am a grateful student for life and am constantly looking at the stack of my to-do’s with great curiosity if i’ll ever whittle them down to complete. if you’re a student of mine, yes, you will have homework. if you’re coming through a client door, the chances are good that you’ll have some continuation work that you’re asked to do. rituals, ceremonies, working with particular minerals/crystals as allies and protectors, meditation practices, neuroplastic techniques, herbs, or other healing modalities may be suggested. however, we work with manageability as a true and feasible strategy. there’s absolutely no point in giving assignments you can’t realistically get to, so we’ll work together to find moments and methods that can work for and with you.
-
i have specific training in evaluating and working with spiritual emergence versus spiritual emergency. there can be places in our journeys that look and feel incredibly unstable. at times, it might be difficult to determine where you are in this process. i would be grateful to sit with you to help you understand what’s happening in your awakening process. if a true spiritual emergency is underway, i have mentors and teachers with decades of experience in spiritual emergency that i can refer you to so that you can find the support you need as you move through this part of your journey.
-
in our work there may be moments where there’s a rapid release of old emotions, trauma, or energies. catharsis can be an incredibly powerful and useful tool, however, it’s challenging to integrate in ways that are supportive for the nervous system. even though the information is there in your field to create depurative medicine, it’s better to go slowly so that you’re able to synthesize the healing you’re calling in.
