Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I serve couples and individuals who are ready for change, and with folks who are eager to explore, recover, or jumpstart their creative lives. Here is a principle I found on my own journey that has been life-altering:

If you treat your dilemma as a catalyst or incentive for change – it will transform your relationship with yourself, others and the world.

Whatever it is that brings you here, I see you. I see the aliveness embedded in your impulse for growth. I see your innate creativity, imagination and desire. You arrive with hurts and wounds, yes. And, you possess extraordinary resources, immense goodness. I guide folks to  compassionately explore their dilemmas, harness the powerful desire for change, and embody their strengths with confidence.

Whether you’re facing an impasse in your marriage/relationship, planned or unplanned change and loss, a life transisiton, energy draining anxiety, stymied creativity or unfulfilled longing – the following applies:

No dilemma can be resolved through the mindset that created it. We need new eyes.

This is not your fault. We come by our beliefs innocently during tinyhood, through family and culture. If you are experiencing an impasse of some kind….if you’ve used substances, relationships, and activities to feel better, you are not alone. I used these coping behaviors to feel less anxious. I just wanted to relax. But ultimately, none of that worked. And that was good news! Because a radical clarity emerged that’s as true for you as it is for me:

The energy of desire, used consciously, can reshape your life, animate your vision and empower you to live on your own terms.

Now, what if the bind you’re in is a uniquely creative imperative? The old ways coping or relating are no longer viable; a new way has to be found, one that supports the direction that calls to you. That new way can be discovered right in the middle of whatever you’re facing. This is yourbirthright: To grow and change without sacrificing all that you love and value. 

We are mammals, relational beings made for connection. As such, you, like my clients, may want to:

*  Stop walking on eggshells and say what you feel and think honestly –
without alienating everyone in the process.

*  Get the critic and perfectionist off your shoulder and become more spontaneous –
without the fear you’ll leave everything behind and join the circus.

*  Replace second-guessing with self-validation and express your wants for intimacy –
without the anxiety that you’ll become arrogant or indifferent or “too much.”

*  Prioritize pleasure without apology and love your miraculous body –
without feeling guilty, lazy or self-indulgent.

*  Open to inspiration and guidance from dreams and creativity practices –
without feeling self-consciously “woo-woo” and judgmental.

It it a beautiful thing – to name, affirm and orient toward your heart-desires. A relief to relate from genuine care, love, and warmth. A joy to feel embodied and meet life with confidence. A blessing beyond measure to befriend your nervous system and become a more regulated self-in-relationship.

I’m an attuned field guide with a highly imaginative approach and perspective. My expertise is drawn from decades-long deep dives in creative imagination, family systems, trauma and post-trauma learning, polyvagal theory, and other healing modalities.

If you choose to work with me, I promise this: I commit alongside you. Because this work and you really matter. It is a privilege I don’t take lightly. During this journey, I will support what helps you flourish and hold the vision you have for yourself with an intentionlly tender, fierce and playful presence.
