About
TRAUMA SPECIALIST & PSYCHEDELIC PRACTITIONER
for me, this work is a calling & an honor
An honor to witness you bravely explore the hidden mysteries of your inner world, and Re-Discover your hidden gifts and wisdom.
An honor because healing and transformation happens in the context of a compassionate, attuned relationship.
An honor because when we heal ourselves, we contribute to the collective healing of humanity and the planet.
An honor because this work is ultimately about Re-Connection to your true Self, purpose & higher consciousness; to your relationships, community, humanity; to the natural world and the beyond.
My calling: to help people heal their trauma so they can Re-Awaken to their own pure, divine light and nurture it so it becomes a healing, uplifting resource for Self and others.
My journey so far…
You’re not alone. i know what it’s like to feel stuck, desperately seeking answers, relief, healing…
For much of my life, I was weighed down and limited by my trauma. Desperate to feel better, I tried talk therapy, adopted “healthier” coping skills like marathon running and pilates, threw myself into my career to find purpose, and traveled the world seeking meaning. All to no avail.
While these attempts at health weren’t inherently bad, it was my relationship to them that was – one of avoidance and bypassing. I continued in this cycle for some time, moving states and cities, carrying my pain, loneliness, and confusion with me…this eventually led me to a pretty dark place.
somatic healing & Plant medicines allowed me to re-connect with my true self.
Searching for a way out of the darkness, I went to the Peruvian Jungle to work with traditional, Amazonian plant medicines. My experience was deeply profound, transformative, and illuminating. It was the first time I felt relief, hope, and meaning – it’s what ignited my healing journey and inspired me to become a therapist…
On my healing path, I’ve discovered meditation, breathwork, wise teachers, spiritual practices, and somatic-based, trauma therapies. Unlike my prior attempts, these modalities actually worked!
I began to recover and integrate the parts of my Self that I had demonized, disowned, and forgotten. I began to Re-Member and embody my true Self, my purpose, my light.
i’m still on my journey, working with the same modalities & therapies I offer my clients.
I’m committed to doing my work, so that I can continue to be a clean, clear, healthy container for you, as you do your own.
It’s a supreme honor to hold sacred space for other dear souls on their healing journey. I’m grateful to do work that I truly love, and be able to walk alongside clients as they process their most painful wounds and come home to them Selves, their wholeness.
I would be honored to walk with you too.

I do this work because we’re all interconnected.
I do it for you, me, my loved ones, my ancestors, future generations, and my dear mentors who courageously paved the way.
I do this work with respect for the diversity of the human experience and love for the mystery of our existence.
Together, we can co-create and nurture a powerful, collective force of healing energy for humanity and Mother Earth. “Para el bien de todos” (for the good of all) – don Howard Lawler
I’m a wife, mystic, surfer, nature enthusiast, Vermont native, and descendent of Italian, Northwest European, Balkan, Arabic and Indigenous American ancestry...I love playing in the mountains and ocean, star gazing, putzing and taking PNW adventures in our van… I enjoy time in solitude, metaphysical thought experiments, and making home-cooked meals while listening to KEXP…My day isn’t complete without morning coffee time and afternoon tea time…I’m passionate about exploring my own consciousness via plant-fungi allies, meditation, breathwork, sound, and other spiritual-based practices…
