I am an artist, psychotherapist, and shamanic coach. I received a MA in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM; a BA from Swarthmore College in PA; apprenticed with master herbalists; and learned from shamans in the Peruvian Amazon and American Southwest. Plant spirit medicines have been instrumental in my personal process and I counsel clients integrating their personal work. I have a spiritual bent in my approach and I focus on three main relationships: the one with your Self (the truth in your heart), your Community (family, relationships), and the Earth (stewardship and responsibility for the sentient being upon which we live). I named my practice VOW because the path towards the truth in self-discovery requires commitment and responsibility. I'm an intuitive empath and I describe my approach as Humanistic, Archetypal, Jungian, Somatic, Transpersonal, and Shamanic. Through this blend of approaches, we'll work to contextualize your experiences into the greater fabric/story/lesson/purpose of your life.
