Clients I Work With
I work with high-functioning adults who are tired of their own patterns. You're intelligent, self-aware, and have probably tried to think your way out of things that thinking alone can't fix. You might be navigating anxiety that never fully turns off, burnout that's crept into everything, trauma you've carried longer than you should have, or relationships that keep hitting the same walls.
My clients are people who know something needs to change — they just haven't found an approach that gets there. Many have tried traditional talk therapy and felt it only scratched the surface. They're ready to go deeper, work at the subconscious level, and actually come out different on the other side.
I also work with expectant parents preparing for birth using hypnobirthing, and with individuals preparing for or integrating psychedelic and plant medicine experiences.
Approach
Sessions with me feel like an honest conversation—warm, direct, and surprisingly easy even when we're covering hard territory. I bring humor to the work without minimizing it, and I'll challenge you when you need it and hold space when you don't.
What makes my approach different is that I work at both the conscious and subconscious level. Talk therapy alone addresses what you know and can articulate. Hypnotherapy reaches the patterns, beliefs, and nervous system responses operating underneath — where most of the real material lives. I blend CBT, somatic therapy, inner child work, hypnotherapy, Gottman Method, and psychedelic integration into something fully personalized for each person.
I also create custom hypnotherapy recordings live in session-so you leave with something personal to use between our work together. Change happens faster when the work continues outside the therapy room.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I don't offer anything I haven't personally lived or seen work in the therapy room. I've navigated my own healing journey — setting boundaries, doing the subconscious work, sitting in plant medicine ceremonies in Peru, giving birth naturally at home using hypnobirthing, and building a life in Costa Rica from the ground up that genuinely reflects my values.
I believe healing doesn't have to be heavy. I believe the subconscious mind is where real change lives. I believe therapy should feel like forward motion, not endless excavation. And I believe the life you actually want is more possible than it feels right now.
I've been in personal and professional pursuit of that truth for over 20 years — as a clinician, a plant medicine practitioner, a surfer, a mother, and someone who chose a life that didn't come with a roadmap. That's the perspective I bring to every session.
