Welcome
For over two decades, I’ve been a student of the soul—curious about cultivating a life of depth and meaning, and learning to live from a place of quiet in the middle of noisy modern life.
Walking this path led me to train as a psychotherapist after a career in communications. It turned out to be more than a career change, but an invitation to greater expansion and trust.
As I stepped away from roles and places where I no longer fit, I learned to trust the movement of my soul and honor my intuition, rediscovering parts of myself that had been there all along.
I practice in the tradition of psychotherapy as soul care, and work with women from diverse spiritual orientations and backgrounds who are navigating difficult circumstances and life thresholds.
If you'd like to work together, the first step is to schedule a time for us to get acquainted and talk about your concerns.
Whether you come from a place of conviction, questioning, or quiet curiosity, you are welcome here.
