North Fork American River
Welcome
I am an integrative therapist—a guide into and through the interior wilderness. I see a limited number of clients in my practice, which means I'm looking for people who are truly committed to the process of change. Folks who are drawn to explore the inner landscape—through the body, the psyche, and the wisdom traditions that connect us to something larger.
I work best with individuals who are already self-reflective—and are ready to go deeper. People who have done some healing work, who've spent time in reflection, and who now feel drawn to bring that understanding into even greater embodied experience, into their relationships, and into the unfolding of who they're becoming.
What is Integrative Therapy?
Integrative therapy is an individualized, holistic approach that considers your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health as interconnected parts of a whole. By combining elements from different psychological theories and wisdom traditions, I offer a flexible and inclusive approach tailored to your unique needs.
My primary methods draw from depth hypnosis, applied shamanic counseling, energy medicine, and somatics. Together, we work as partners to get to the heart of the matter and heal core wounds.
I work with individuals at all stages of life. As an academic and a therapist, I bring specialized support to: college and graduate students navigating academic transitions, while also guiding their deeper work of personal transformation and growth; women in the second half of life who are exploring new purpose and possibilities; and LGBTQ+ issues.
My Therapeutic Philosophy
My approach centers on supporting you in accessing your own inherent wisdom and guidance, helping you embody your True Nature. This leads to greater singularity, coherence, wholeness, ease, and joy—what some describe as building a conscious, deep and expanded state of awareness.
I specialize in decolonizing, narrative, somatic, and deep ecological approaches to healing. Regardless of age, we all have the capacity to re-pattern our neurological pathways, gain new perspective, and understand the forces that shaped our assumptions and beliefs about reality.
The Healing Process
From this place of witnessing, you can re-author your story and focus on who you actually are and who you're becoming, beyond old narratives. We honor both mind and body while recognizing our interconnectedness with all life—understanding that we are not separate from or more important than other beings.
This work supports you in clearing karmic patterns and retrieving parts of yourself that may have been obscured through trauma, our deficit-oriented culture, and the challenges of everyday living. Together, we'll develop practices you can cultivate outside our sessions to support your overall well-being.
In my experience, this work can benefit anyone—even those with years of therapeutic experience.
