During a counseling session, you can expect a supportive and skilled container to open into your Self.

Using a body-oriented experiential and mindfulness-based approach, we will follow your consciousness to reveal inner blockages to natural states of love and joy, creativity, connection, pleasure, and expansion.

In other words, we seek to unveil your true nature’s infinite intelligence and capacity, which can take any vibration called for in the direct moment. Over the course of development, we cover over our wounds with identities and defenses that protect us for a while, but then they imprison us.

Through our work together, we will gently uncover these limitations and reconnect to the inner vibrancy, vitality, and boundlessness of your own essential Self.

As your guide, I provide a skilled, intuitive mirror to help you reconnect with your own intelligence and uncover vulnerable places. However, more importantly, you will learn skills for your own practice in your daily life and to share with your close of kin.

In person in San Rafael or Sebastopol, or online over Zoom from anywhere. Many of my clients work with me entirely online. After the intro call, we’ll make a plan for how and where we’ll work together.

Whatever serves you. We can begin with a single session, and there’s no package to commit to up front. After that first session we decide together whether to continue and at what rhythm. Some people come for a handful of sessions around a transition; others work with me weekly or biweekly over several months, and returning clients are always welcome to drop in for single sessions.

I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows me to accommodate other clients who may be waiting for an appointment. Clients will be charged for cancelling appointments with less than 48 hours’ notice.

No. I work as a psychospiritual counselor, traditional healer, and meditation teacher, and I’m not a licensed psychotherapist. What that means: I don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and our work together isn’t a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. What I offer is somatic, relational, and spiritual counseling — support for growth, healing, meaning, and wholeness, drawing on body-oriented psychology, contemplative practice, and earth-based traditional medicine. Many of my clients also work with a licensed therapist or psychiatrist, and I’m glad to collaborate with them. If at any point I believe you need clinical care, I’ll say so and help you find it.

I hold a Master’s degree in Ecopsychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and I’m a graduate of Hakomi, Relational Somatic Healing, trauma training, and other body-oriented psychology trainings. I’m a long-time student of the Diamond Approach and Zen. My most extensive training, though, has been fifteen years of devoted meditation practice and traditional healing training through apprenticeship in a spiritual lineage of Peru.

Not at all. Most of what I do is somatic, relational, and spiritual counseling that has nothing to do with expanded states. Integration is one thread of the work, for those who want it.

Support before and after an expanded-state experience: preparing with clear intention, and afterward, making sense of what arose and weaving it into your daily life, relationships, and body. I don’t provide or facilitate psychedelic experiences in counseling sessions.

I don’t take insurance. Sessions are $200–250 on a sliding scale, and you can begin with a single session — no package required. The intro call is free.
