It is my creative gift to collaborate with your psychic depths and hold space for you to express your great becoming.
Psychotherapy is my art
how I work
I have the tools, the light to shine into the hidden recesses, the mirrors to reflect the real you, and the brushes to paint the picture of the life you want to live.
You: a magical mama, deep dreamer, neurodivergent creative, artist, witch, analytical/symbolic/intuitive, introspective, self-reflective, and/or highly anxious or sensitive. Dedicated to a weekly or every other week container. This is where the magic happens.
As a magical psychotherapist, I believe in the importance of exploring your inner world and working synergistically with your personal path or tradition. My approach to counseling includes a depth and transpersonal orientation and tenets of art therapy. I offer a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space for psychological healing and exploration for people from all walks of life; especially for those with marginalized identities, magical practices and alternative lifestyles.
My goal is to help clients build an empowered connection to themselves, naturally unveiling their gifts and talents.
As a Jungian depth psychotherapist I understand that behavior is a mythic expression of the soul. Within these patterns that continually express themselves lay personal mythos and magic. Our work together is highly relational and collaborative; highlighting your personal choice and empowerment, while also uncovering beliefs and behaviors that are no longer aligned with the person you want to become. I am deeply interested in working with dreams, feelings, and unconscious processes because these avenues open the potential for true transformation.
What is Magical Psychotherapy?Magical Psychotherapy presents an avenue that joins the healing power of psychology and the transformative intelligence of spirit to artfully guide you through life’s challenges.
Psychotherapy is itself magical in nature, it becomes the alchemical vessel, holding every facet of your self, soul, spirit and experience. We work together to hold space for every aspect of your psyche's process.
The dissolution of old, worn out stories and toxic patterns
The separation of and attending to of each complex character in your personality
The conjunction of your deeply masculine and feminine parts, conscious and unconscious
The effervescent fermentation that inspires new thoughts, feelings and practices to arise
The distillation that refines these new pieces of yourself as you begin to discover your wholeness
From a Jungian depth perspective, this is a deep commitment to your healing journey and individuation process.
My goal is to support a deep level of inner change that impacts your life experiences, opportunities and most important relationships. I work using a variety of approaches, attuning to your presence and journey to determine which will be most helpful. I integrate attachment theory and emotionally focused therapy to help effectively heal trauma, build relational skills, trust, security and closeness. This is not a quick fix or instantly gratifying experience. We venture into your inner underworld and attend to the roots, plant seeds and cultivate the authentic blossoming of your truest self.
Clinical Tools

Everything comes from and returns to, relationship. Using attachment theory and attachment-focused EMDR I will be able to help support inner change that impacts your most primary relationships, past, present and future. EMDR targets the most influential nodes in memory networks to reconfigure traumatic experiences from the inside out and re-integrate them with new resources into long term memory. Still currently in training.
-
There is no guaranteed safety in therapy, challenging emotions, traumatic content and relational ruptures are likely to surface. Therefore, through a trauma-informed lens and relational care, I am committed to providing a confidential container that to the best of my ability is attentive and carefully approaches these experiences. One that focuses on trustworthiness and safety in the therapeutic relationship, where the therapy is collaborative and highlights your personal empowerment and choice.
-
A modern and updated approach to understanding the structure, morphology and energetic movement of your psychic inner world. Emphasis is placed on exploring and understanding unconscious drives, defenses and personality development which aids us in identifying motives, beliefs and behaviors that are no longer aligned with the person you want to become.

We are not singular, we are a multiplicity. There are many yous. Your unique symphony of selves peaks and valleys like the melodious notes of an orchestra. IFS gives us helpful language to meet all of your parts and help them work together toward inner harmony.
-
From a depth psychological perspective the psyche is first and foremost symbolic, transpersonal, and much more expansive than ego-awareness. Including the unconscious and collective levels of consciousness in our work together is rich, archetypal and evokes lasting change on a deep level.

Working with the emotional charge, expression and discharge of vulnerable feelings across dimensions of attachment-relationship allows us to more effectively heal trauma and build closeness, security and trust within yourself and with others.
Therapy is an initiationIt isn't easy. It's the opposite of numbing cream. It's fully thawing. It's tears emerging that are decades old. It's getting up close and personal with deep shame and sorrow and feeling seen and loved with and through it.
It is approaching the unknown while I hold your psychic hand. It's unveiling your dreams and challenging what you think is possible. It's uprooting those that are rotted and planting new seeds for the coming seasons. It is life-giving and life-changing.
This work is powerfully transformative, psychological alchemy, magical inner work and a long term relationship that takes time, care and dedication.
