WOMEN’S HOLISTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY AND INTEGRATIVE COUNSELING
Life is Waiting for Your Full Bloom
“A woman's issues of soul cannot be treated by carving her into a more acceptable form as defined by an unconscious culture,” — Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Guiding clients through deep, soulful healing, and transformation toward self-love, acceptance, and freedom.
I help clients transform aloneness, fear, guilt, shame, grief, and loss into opportunities for self-love, acceptance, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Together, we learn to meet these experiences with compassion, curiosity, and courage.
When life feels stuck, scattered, or heavy, I guide clients on their hero’s/heroine’s journey inward. We answer the call to adventure, crossing the threshold into the unknown parts of self, confronting anxiety, depression, grief, shame, rage, and old patterns.
I weave the clinical, numinous, sacred, and transpersonal psychology through a Jungian lens, with a strong foundation in neuroscience, somatic psychology, and mindfulness.
I weave dream analysis, visualization and active imagination, art therapy, mantra, ritual, somatic movement, and celebration into my work with clients, helping them connect to the truth, love, and arrow of their heart’s vision. The symbol of the arrow is about focused intention; where heart and purpose align to reveal the path forward.
The Arrow has the ability to guide >——>>——>>>——>>>> piercing the heart, awakening the truth. You know the truth and when you honor that truth, you cannot be hurt by the lies of others. The arrow is straight and reminds us to stay true to ourselves.
As transformation unfolds, you return from this journey with clarity, grounded presence, and self-acceptance, discovering that you are enough exactly as you are. This path leads to living fully expressed and empowered, aligned with your higher self and truest potential. On this journey, you become your own hero.
Our mission is to provide heart-centered, evidence-based, holistic care that honors your story, embraces cultural and ancestral wisdom, and supports your path of healing, transformation, and reconnection with your true self.
We specialize in women’s integrated mind-body-spirit health, nurturing self-compassion, self-worth, and self-love as foundations for growth, especially through life’s tender passages such as childhood trauma, depression, grief and loss, heartbreak, relationship endings, mid-life crisis and transitions, and career change.
We offer a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing space where you can explore your inner world at your own pace.
Our approach honors the feminine, rites of passages, diverse cultural wisdom from many traditions, and supports decolonizing therapy by reclaiming healing beyond Western frameworks.
Through mindful inquiry, somatic exploration, compassionate and creative practices, you’ll cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and the living world around you.

The Symbol of the Arrow
Jamie Sams (1951–2020), a Native American teacher and visionary of Seneca, Cherokee, and French descent, devoted her life to sharing Indigenous wisdom in ways that honored the sacred traditions of her ancestors.
Among her many teachings, the Arrow carries profound symbolism. The Arrow represents truth, clarity, direction, and right action; the medicine of walking one’s path with integrity.
It teaches that when the heart is pure and intention clear, Spirit guides the flight. The Arrow flies straight because it has surrendered to its purpose. Arrow shoots right to the heart of the matter, piercing through negativity, false beliefs, and stories from our past that no longer serve us. Arrow guides us into the truth and centers us in love.
In my work as a therapist and counselor, the symbol of the arrow serves as both metaphor and guide. It reminds me and those I work with, to meet life’s challenges with honesty, focus, and courage. Healing often begins when we align our inner compass with what is true, allowing energy that was once fragmented by fear, grief, or confusion to move in a clear and unified direction.
Like the Arrow, my intention in this work is to guide energy toward clarity; to help others connect with their authentic essence and live from the truth of their hearts. The Arrow reminds me that every word, every thought, every intention is a prayer in motion.
It calls for precision, presence, and surrender — the willingness to release what no longer serves, trust the unfolding path, and let Spirit carry the work where it needs to go.
Embrace Your True Wild Nature
THE WORK
This is the heart of healing — the alchemy of therapy.
Together, we transform pain into purpose, grief into growth, and wounds into wisdom.
This is the path of returning to yourself — where you no longer have to hustle, force, or demand.
Instead, you’re invited to live a heart-centered life, guided from within, rooted in trust, and aligned with your truth.
You will learn to feel your feelings fully, without judgment or shame, allowing them to nurture your growth and self-compassion. You will discover a fierce, yet gentle place of feminine power, grounded in wholeness and self-worth.
THE PROCESS
The first step is simple: schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, explore what you're seeking support around, and see if we're a good fit. If it feels right, we’ll choose a focus for our work together — whether it's navigating anxiety, healing relational wounds, moving through grief, or deepening your self-trust.
From there, we’ll identify meaningful goals and potential outcomes, rooted in your unique needs and intentions. This process isn’t about fixing what’s broken — there is nothing to fix. It’s about coming home to yourself.
Our work will support you in releasing old patterns of striving or self-doubt, and invite you into a more grounded, heart-centered way of living — one aligned with your inner truth, resilience, and wisdom.
