If you’re trying to understand and honor your soul’s longings, connect with your ancestors, or tend to your western wounds, you’re in the right place.

I offer space and care for you to engage with the big questions many of us have: What am I called to do with this life? How do I make my life more meaningful? How can I handle my big crisis spiritually? What kind of spirituality suits me? How do I connect with my ancestors and/or ancestral lineages? How can I become rooted in my ancestral cultures? How do I work with my intergenerational trauma? I consider this terrain to be soul work -- yours, mine, ours -- and I believe this soul work is best supported by traditions, questions, and worldviews beyond western therapy. That’s why I’m called to offer what I offer, study what I study, and get trained the way I’ve chosen to be trained. More about my approach... |

People come to me when they want :
INCREASED CAPACITY
to show up and support self, loved ones & community, or to instigate change |
LIFE DIRECTION
like finding their true north so they can honor their longings and help build a new world |
TO ENJOY LIFE
and experience new pleasure, including through ancestral and earth-based inspirations |
DEPTH & MEANING
and increased ability to go there, since so much seems to be ending or changing |
I offer four areas of focus for 1-on-1 sessions. They may overlap.
>> If you're not sure where to start, we can figure this out in our exploratory call.

For those seeking shifts and clarity around work and life. We dive into: What does your soul long for? And what new actions can you take? This is both a practical and soul-centered process that leads to a-ha's about what "I want to do with my life," including what a more meaningful job or life looks like for you.
We walk the unknown terrains of your ancestral lines, following your curiosities. I provide feedback, serve as a brainstorming buddy, and offer ideas, homework, research questions, and advice when you want it. You leave with a stronger cultural identity, an increased sense of belonging, and new knowings.

For people processing a major change, event, or phase that feels like a personal crisis or spiritual emergency. We find and make spiritual meaning of heart shattering situations, while dialoguing with the universe & your heart. Together crafting new stories and developing strategies to help you move through difficult times.
We explore and move through your body symptoms, patterns, and traumatic responses that seem to persist. We dialogue with your body, your family history, your ancestors, and your intuition to encounter new awareness about who in your family lineage is connected, and what actions you can take.
|
Since community is essential for resilience and telling new stories that free us, there are two groups you can join:
Ancestral Rituals Remix and Underwater Soul-Searching Group.
And therapists can do APA-approved continuing education through the online & in-person Ancestral Cultural Competence journeys.

Many of us are fed a western story that we must “figure out what we want,” “make a plan,” escape our inner pain quickly, and that our ancestors have nothing to do with living well. I believed this until life kept intervening to teach me otherwise. Turns out, my soul’s purpose is different from what I thought I wanted. And the plans I kept making were not leaving space for me to hear what I was being called to do. I offer something different from mainstream western therapy because I think our western wounds require non-western medicine. I'm prepared to support you with:
