I am a mental-physical-spiritual health therapist, advocate, and artist. I specialist in empowering the human spirit with encouragement and compassion as an art therapist and contemplative/somatic arts & meditation facilitator. My previous work has focused on the empowerment of & social justice advocacy for individuals with lived experience of serious mental illness/trauma, or with being autistic/neurodivergent. I provide support with integration processes for clients who have experienced growth and expanded human capabilities through altered states of consciousness, experiences of psychosis, meditation, and psychedelic therapies.

Instead of pathologizing and trying to fix clients (the ‘sick’ care model), I instead have skill in recognizing each individual’s strengths and passions while providing collaboration and direction for untapped potential to be actualized. Listening to and understanding clients to help clarify their values and goals facilitates access to their own wisdom.

Transformation of suffering is possible. Instead of turning away from pain, learn to turn toward it as a way to access joy, pleasure, interconnection &intimacy to live a full & meaningful life. Within non-duality, nothing is intrinsically ‘good’ or ‘bad’, and thus…”Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there” (Rumi).
