“All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time.” 

– Clarissa Pinkola Estes 

Welcome!

Worrying about food and your body all of the time is exhausting and unrelenting. The inner critic can feel impossible to quiet. Let’s take your life back! It is possible to find liberation from the mind, and a connected, creative, empowered, and embodied life. I use a unique and powerful combination of dreamwork, active imagination, art therapy, ACT therapy, and Jungian Depth Psychology to tap into your own innate wisdom for transformation and lasting change. I focus on healing the trauma and anxiety that underlie and accompany chronic body shame. Expect deep healing on every level: with yourself and your body, with other people, with Soul and Spirit.

This is not your run-of-the-mill counseling. This is Soul Work! 

Beyond the painful symptoms that bring you to counseling, there is a deep wisdom pointing towards healing. I can help you uncover this wisdom, and live from that sacred knowing inside. A depth-oriented approach acknowledges that there is more to you than your thoughts and actions: I believe you have a soul, and I believe in the power of your psyche to lead the way. This process is practical and magic at the same time. 

The truth is that your have everything you need already within you. My job is to help you find it, connect with it, and live from it. If you are looking for a deeper experience counseling, and you’re ready to commit to yourself in a process of growth and authentic belonging, I would love to support you! I see transformation happen every day, and I know it can happen for you.

With Love,
