Hope-full and hope-filled perspectives for healing...

I believe that we are born with the innate ability to be happy, loving and lovable. "Life" often disrupts our ability to hold onto that love. I want to learn about you and your journey and explore how we can work together to support you in having the quality of life that you desire and that increases the possibility of joy and purpose in your life.

About

This work is sacred to me...

I've lived and trained in CA, Chicago and Portland, and have called the PNW home for 30 years now. I come from a family of social workers, teachers and healers. My first church was the Sierras and the Pacific coast, and nature remains a constant place of regulation and connection to Spirit for me, the something larger that is felt experientially. Music, art, playfulness and creativity are also essential parts of how I create and maintain my wholeness. Also chocolate. My cats. Yoga & Zumba. Family and friends. Finding rejuvenation in my garden. Laughter always and whenever possible.
