I have always felt very connected to Spirit. When I say Spirit, I mean something that lives inside and animates all of us, and which holds vast and profound creative potential. I believe all pain is a result of feeling cut off from this power, and that healing is a journey of remembering how to reconnect with it. I grew up in an upper middle class, predominantly white suburb that didn't reflect this power, which was very painful. I pursued many things in attempt to uncover that "something more" I knew to be inside. As a youth I pursued it through extreme and risky behavior including heavy substance use, disordered eating, and reckless and self-harming sexual behavior. Although misguided, the drive to connect with something deeper was there. In my early twenties, I had several experiences of expanded consciousness. This combined with my first Vipassana meditation retreat in 2013 drew me away from extreme behavior, and towards the ultimate spiritual experience: accepting myself exactly as I was, and not running away from anything. This was the powerful experience I had been looking for. Today through various practices I continue to cultivate that deep and unavoiding connection with my self. 

My work today is influenced by my continued practice of meditation, earth-honoring spiritual traditions, embodied decolonization work, and metaphysics. I also bring to my work the lived experience of healing from 11 years of chronic illness. If you want to read more about that journey, you can do so here. Finally, my work is influenced by my years of work as a mentor for transition-aged youth, which incorporated collectivist approaches to resourcing, restorative justice, and initiatory rites of passage.

In 2017 I received my Master’s degree in Integral Counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. From this training I gained the clinical skills to work with clients in a way that transmutes psychic blocks and defenses and actually facilitates desired change. Today I am licensed in both Montana and Colorado.

My work is invariably feminist, social and earth justice-oriented, and Earth-honoring.
