The Journey of Becoming

Trauma lives in body, mind, and spirit, shaping how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world—often beneath conscious awareness. The earliest wounds often leave the deepest imprints.

What remains unprocessed stays with us—in chronic tension and hypervigilance, in difficulty trusting others, in protective numbness or hypersensitivity, in relationship patterns that feel frustratingly familiar. It lives in beliefs about safety and intimacy, in the parts of yourself you learned to hide, in a persistent sense that something is "wrong" with you.

What I Work With

• Childhood trauma and attachment wounds

• Dissociation and fragmentation

• Developmental trauma that affects sense of self

• Intergenerational trauma

These responses made sense once—they were intelligent adaptations to impossible situations. But what kept you safe then may now be keeping you small, isolated, or unable to fully experience connection and aliveness. Together, we bring these unconscious elements into the light—to understand their origins, honor their protective purpose, and create space for new ways of being. Jungian therapy for trauma is a synergistic way of working with all the layers of these deep, early wounds.

Creativity is often where we feel most alive—but also where we meet our most formidable and intransigent resistance.

What blocks us from fully expressing our creativity often signals something with deeper roots. Creating and playing ask us to lean into openness, uncensored self-expression, vulnerability. But when we carry deep-seated fear of visibility or judgment, of failure or even of success, that fear puts the brakes on—limiting potential and possibility. Here we meet paralyzing perfectionism, unmetabolized grief or trauma seeking expression, a severed connection to our own essence.

What I Work With

• Creative block and resistance

• Fear of visibility, of failure, or of success

• The relationship between trauma and creative expression

• Reclaiming your voice

I work with people navigating creative impasse: exploring the relationship between your wounds and creative self-expression, the fears that keep you small, the self-limiting habits that keep you safe, and the question of what it means to bring your authentic creative self—with all its rawness and risk—into the world.

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

Psychedelic and entheogenic experiences can be profoundly healing—but without proper preparation and integration, they can also be disorienting, destabilizing, or remain utterly elusive. Insights that might emerge gradually in therapy can erupt all at once in psychedelic experience—insights, emotions, and revelations overwhelming the psyche's capacity to integrate. Profound visions and wisdom can fade quickly unless they are grounded in embodied reality and woven into the fabric of daily life.

What I Work With

• Integration of psychedelic therapy or ceremonial experiences

• Preparation for upcoming psychedelic journeys

• Making meaning of difficult or confusing trips

• Connecting expanded states to everyday life

This work supports those preparing for therapeutic or ceremonial journeys, as well as those integrating past experiences—whether recent or from years ago. As a psychedelic integration therapist, I provide support that honors both the mystical dimensions of these experiences and the practical work of bringing insights into embodied, daily life. 

Note: I do not provide or facilitate psychedelic substances. This is preparation and integration therapy only.

At times we find ourselves navigating threshold experiences: dark nights of the soul, existential despair, spiritual emergence, and life transitions that shake the very foundation of meaning.

Questions arise: Why am I here? What is the meaning of this life? What is my purpose? These profoundly important questions are frequently woven through with difficult emotions—depression, hopelessness, grief. But sometimes what appears as a psychological crisis is actually a spiritual opening, a breakdown that's also a breakthrough.

What I Work With

• Existential anxiety, meaninglessness, or despair

• Life transitions and identity shifts

• Spontaneous non-ordinary states

• Questions of calling and purpose

When the old scripts and beliefs around which we have constructed our lives begin to fail us, it opens the door to grief, disorientation, the anxiety of being caught on the threshold between old and new. With proper care—honoring both the psychological and the numinous—the liminal becomes generative space, opening the way for new possibilities, for a renewed version of ourselves to emerge.

Relationships are often where our unresolved inner conflicts are most evident, where we are shown the work and the healing that needs to be done. Our earliest relationships create templates that shape how we love, trust, fight, and attach. These patterns echo through our lives—in romantic partnerships, friendships, family dynamics, even in how we relate to ourselves. The stories we tell ourselves, what we believe we're capable of, who or what we feel we deserve—these too mirror those early imprints.

What I Work With

• Attachment wounds and relational trauma

• Recurring relationship patterns

• Fear of intimacy or engulfment

• Sexuality, desire, and embodiment in relationship

In therapy, the underlying patterns that cause suffering can become visible—and changeable. We identify internalized beliefs that have shaped how you relate—beliefs about worthiness, safety, or what love requires. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space to explore, repair, and reimagine relating. Old patterns may play out between us, and in that recognition, new ways of being together become possible. Themes of attachment, intimacy, and sexuality can be as integral to your healing journey as questions of identity or self-worth.
