Services & Offerings
Three Pathways to Transformation
Ecotherapy
Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Ecotherapy removes the confines of traditional office settings and creates a therapeutic alternative to conventional talk therapy. Challenge yourself to unearth deeper connections with nature while exploring new ways to unpack limiting beliefs, repair relationships, and appreciate the beauty of your journey.

Psychedelic Integration Support
Polishing the Mirror
Plant and psychedelic medicines can invite us to identify more with "the soul" than the "ego." Journeying into altered states of being can release stuck emotions, reveal harmful habits, restore joy and confidence, and push you to encounter and endure unknown fears.
*I do not condone, endorse, encourage, aid or abet in the use of illegal substances, or provide access to illegal substances. Integration support is offered as a harm reduction approach and for psychoeducational purposes only.
Shamanic Healing Arts
Traveling Beyond the Confines of Modern Society
Shamanic healing is not always logical or rational. As one of my teachers describes it, it's "a trained capacity to connect with the web of life." For our ancestors, this was a profoundly spiritual process requiring commitment and openness to examine and learn.
*I make no personal claim to be a shaman or medicine person. The word "shaman" comes from the Tungusic language family of Eastern Siberia, which is not from my lineage. My practice stems from teachers whose heritage connects to traditions that have been impacted by centuries of colonial oppression and cultural assimilation.
