I AM…

Through the years of “treating” mental illness as a therapist, I came to realize something ineffable and true…I was not treating anything at all…in fact, my clients were innately healing both themselves, and ME.

It’s just my nature to be curious and wide open. From this stance, I observed my clients with deep compassion and soon realized…They are me, and I am them.

I stopped thinking my clients had disorders and started seeing how their symptoms are a reflection of everything inside, unsaid or unclaimed.

I now realize, I didn’t need to give them anything because they were everything. They had simply forgotten. And so, had I…

We are each on The Sacred Journey.

I am a Sacred Journey Keeper.

This realization changed me. And the inner work I continue to practice has changed my entire life. I learned from my clients how to allow love to soften pain and understanding to replace shame. I learned how to be responsible for, but not enslaved by my humanity and I learned how to set myself free as a whole spirit of loving medicine. I cannot un-see what I have seen, nor pretend that I do not know…

You are who you are looking for.

You are what heals you.

You have always loved yourself. You still do.

You are always finding your way home to your wholeness.

You are coming back to your wild.

And it’s all a Sacred Journey.

I am a compassionate witness.

With my presence, I hold a radical love and acceptance for all that you are. I sit in my wholeness so you can sit in yours. There’s nothing to fear.

You won’t find anything in yourself that I have not seen in me. It’s all okay now. I know the things that scare you. They scared me too, but I allowed them and loved them and so can you.

Together we will explore your heart and your hurt. I can show you how to have a Mystical Healing Experience with yourself, inside the sacred alter of your deep psyche.

I am a consciousness-raising guide.

You can allow everything you know deep down to come up and move you forward. It’s going to require honesty, discernment, and a whole lot of patience. With the support of tools such as meditation, psychedelics, somatic therapy, or spiritual therapy, I can help you identify the entrenched patterns that keep you stuck and transmute them into an alchemy of love and freedom.

I am a spiritual and somatic therapist.

The transition from a dis-embodied, traumatized state to one of embodied self-love is incredibly powerful, and a little unfamiliar. I can help you steer a spiritual emergency into a spiritual awakening by supporting your somatic experience along your Sacred Journey. You can learn to transmute pain into love. This process requires your stillness and your courage.
