About / Story
Clinical background and credentials
After 25 years as a clinical counselor, hypnotherapist, and somatic practitioner, teaching yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, and the vital link between food and mood, I bring a grounded embodied clinical foundation to our work. I’ve shifted my focus and now center the stories we share (including my own) to illuminate our collective path forward. Non-clinical archetypal and hypnotherapy-informed work—more human, less system.

Reason for transition to archetypal work
While pain is deeply personal, the patterns are ancient. We are walking archetypes, and sometimes, the best way to find our light is to stop trying to "fix" ourselves and start understanding the myth we are living. For too long, we’ve been told to transcend the ego, to shrink it, or to fear it. From others, as well as from my own journey through physical and spiritual upheaval, I’ve been taught otherwise: The ego is the hearth where our light is held. It is the part of us that survives so that the soul can speak.
What clients gain (skills, practices accessible beyond therapy)
As an archetypal guide, I don't help you "fix" your story. I help you see the brilliant, unsettling beauty of the patterns you are walking through, and how to use your own ego as a steady hand to lead yourself home. You gain clarity around recurring patterns, reconnect with a deeper sense of direction, and master practical inner skills that extend far beyond traditional therapy. I help you recognize the patterns you’re living, and use your own inner resources to create lasting change through embodied practice and self-regulation.
Hypnotherapy and non-clinical inner-work are offered here. This is not psychotherapy and does not include diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.

How it works
1. Discovery Call (15–20 minutes)
Let's see if we resonate. I invite you to click below to join me for a quiet, free 15-minute connection call. We begin with a relaxed conversation to understand where you are, what you're navigating, and what kind of support you’re seeking. This is a space to ask questions, clarify intentions, and see if this work feels aligned for you.
2. Bespoke Session or Program
Based on your needs, I design a personalized session or guided program that blends archetypal insight with practical tools. This may include mindfulness practices, breathwork, HeartMath techniques, or self-hypnosis, always tailored to support your inner clarity and growth.
3. Integration & Ongoing Support
Lasting change happens through integration. You’ll receive simple, effective practices and tools to continue the work in your daily life, helping you build resilience, deepen awareness, and stay connected to your inner guidance.
