My Individual Sessions 

 My Individual Work 

​​​I primarily work with people who:

 

  • Want to heal from the past, release old beliefs, shed generational trauma, and rebuild outdated systems

  • Want to grow, develop, and seek support for life-transitions 

  • Want to feel more satisfied in their relationships, careers, or within their sense of self

  • Are sensitive, intuitive, and/or creative - or want to become more so

  • Want to live a life that is deeply authentic to their soul and feel more confident in making decisions

  • Want to enhance their lives, meaning, and purpose through the use of spirituality, intuition, or creativity

  • Want to add the use of creativity or intuitive practices to their daily lives or career paths

  • Want to explore spiritual topics for fun, for self-satisfaction, or for greater peace in their journey

  • Are open to a collaborative approach, where I support you in finding your own answers

My Vocational History

I have worked for 25 years as a social worker and psychotherapist. My social work experiences range from child welfare, treatment of major mental illness, to addictions treatment - often times working with folks with cooccurring mental illness and substance dependency who struggle with food and housing instability.

 

I received my Master's of Social Work from Boston College in 2005. I started working as an individual psychotherapist for children and adults in 2007 and opened my private psychotherapy practice in 2009.

​

In 2010, I felt ready to become a full-time self-employed psychotherapist and that is truly when my real journey of discovery started! Due to my own experience of burn-out in the field, I started seeking avenues for my own self-healing and began a determined exploration of energy, intuition, and spirituality.

My Spirituality 

As a spiritual explorer, I have studied:
 
Reiki
Clinical use of essential oils
Intuitive development and intuitive readings​
Mediumship and connections with the afterlife 
Tarot and Oracle card readings
The Akashic Records and the soul's journey
Working with guides, spiritual entities, and the divine feminine
Channeled writing​
Paganism, folk healing, and witchcraft 
 
I use my intuition in my daily life as much as I use my intellect, my eyes, or my ears. I believe intuition is our sixth sense and is God/Goddess given gift to us that help us navigate our lives. 

I consider my spirituality to be eclectic and open. While the concept of “soul” is a mainstay in my belief systems, I am happy to work with people with differing beliefs or people who do not know what their beliefs are yet.

My Creativity 

Through the process of working with my intuition as a tool to assist my clients in their journeys, I realized how resonant the energy of creativity, writing, art, and the artistic process are to working with intuition.

 

Intuition and art both require me to move my ego aside in order to allow for divine inspiration and to work within a natural, creative, and intuitive flow. Over the last several years beginning with COVID, I reclaimed my inner artist – a part of me that was left behind when I started my traditional career path.

​

I am a creator, a visual artist, and writer. I regularly engage in figure drawing, multi-media art, fiction writing, spiritually-guided writing practices, creative non-fiction, as well as writing self-help material.
