Schedule an INITIAL CONSULTATION! Integrally trained. Trauma informed. Psychologically grounded.

Spiritually led. I attempted to major in Psychology at the University of Georgia, but had an extremely hard time passing Psych 101! I guess I was too early in my personal growth and discovery journey to know there were different schools of Psychology. Rather than switching universities to find a better fit, I changed my major to Child and Family Development. Looking back, I see how that makes total sense for me. Families fascinate me—I mean, they are the “herd” of our species and we are hard wired to be a part of them whether we want to be or not. I see intergenerational trauma as something many sensitive people were chosen by their ancestors to heal. Development fascinates me—not only child development, but personal development, consciousness development, collective societal development, spiral dynamics…I still felt a huge need to incorporate more of the human experience within psychology, leading me to the University of West Georgia, where I earned my Master’s Degree in 2003 in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology. Here I finally found the words to articulate my experiences more clearly. Humanistic Psychology offers a different approach to mental health by seeing every human as a unique individual with their own free will, self-analysis and self-actualization. I believe every individual has the capacity for expanded awareness and personal truth, even if it sometimes gets buried by conditioning, confusion or anxiety. By using that lens in therapy, awareness and compassion for oneself are more easily accessible. Expansion follows, allowing for more curiosity and openness, which provides a catalyst for change, growth, self-inquiry, and self-discovery. My path has been anything but linear. I didn’t think I would pursue the counseling profession because I have always felt stifled by the medical model and requirement to diagnose someone. As Glennon Doyle wrote in her book Untamed, “Sometimes the only thing wrong with us is the belief something is wrong with us.” During 2003-2015 I opened and owned a coffee shop, got married, co-owned a Yoga Studio, opened a restaurant/bar, had two kids (one hospital birth, one homebirth), got divorced, worked in-home with families that were involved in the foster care system, and then took the National Counselor’s Exam over 10 years after graduating with my Master’s. It wasn’t long at all after getting my supervision and full license that I opened my private practice. Continuing to learn has always been important to me. My commitment to integrating conventional, contemplative, and creative approaches to wellbeing keeps me always learning more! Additional trainings I’ve received are: Tallapoosa Center for Inner Arts Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, 2003. Psych-K, 2013, Emotional Freedom Technique, Level 1, 2015. Positive Discipline Parent Educator, 2017. Applied Astrology with Debra Silverman, Levels 1&2, 2018. Bowen Family Systems, 2021. I am also a proud member of The Association for Entheogenic Practitioners. This range and depth of experience has imprinted me with a profound regard for the spectrum of ways different people suffer from a range of mental distress. It has also instilled in me a certainty about the human capacity to face and to go beyond suffering. Beyond my formal training, my work with clients is informed by dedicated personal reflection and practice, meditation, and yoga. In reality, I believe we are all just making our best guess at how to avoid pain until we realize our reactions might not be serving us and choose to do the self-work required to consciously respond instead.

Sometimes what once mattered doesn’t fit anymore. That isn’t failure—it’s the quiet truth of who you’re becoming.

This is such a great episode and speaks to so many reasons I’ve chosen to leave the medical model and decolonize my practice in my own ways for the last 5 years.

“I soften into myself. What’s real in me is enough.” Lately I’ve been noticing how much changes when I stop bracing against life and soften back into myself. There’s a different kind of strength that shows up when I’m not performing or pushing for clarity — when I let what’s true in me be enough for today. This is the mantra on my mirror right now… a quiet return to center, and an invitation to trust the guidance that comes from within.

Somewhere along the way, we mistake conditioning for desire and obligation for fulfillment. But when you pause long enough to listen inward, you can feel the difference—one tightens, one expands. This is the quiet work of reclaiming yourself: noticing what was inherited and what is genuinely yours. If this resonates, trust that your inner compass is already trying to lead you home.

So many adults are struggling to relate to their parents right now — not because of conflict, but because of a generational consciousness split.
You’ve grown, expanded, and developed language for your inner world… and they may not have.

This carousel is a reminder that:
• you’re not broken
• they’re not bad
• and the distance doesn’t mean the relationship is failing

It means you’re becoming more authentically yourself.
And your relationships are finding new shapes to match that reality.

I just added this paragraph to my website, and I kind of love it. It feels honest about who I’m most aligned to support and the complexities that often live beneath the surface for Projectors and 6 line profiles in Human Design. To name that openly feels important. To make space for the people who have been reading the room their whole lives, often without anyone reading them back, feels important. This work is where those adaptations can soften. Where their natural clarity, sensitivity, and inner authority, finally have room to breathe. And putting that language on my website, just felt right.

Mark your calendars for November 13-15, 2026 for my next retreat Elohee

A few themes I'm thinking:
-The Sacred Pause: Listening Beneath the Noise
-Living in Alignment: The Courage to Choose What’s True
-Remembering Wholeness: Coming Home to Yourself

Do any of these speak to you?? Which one(s)??

Sometimes we forget that our needs aren’t inconveniences—they’re signals. Quiet, essential indicators of where we’re meant to turn next. When you honor them, you’re not being demanding or difficult; you’re orienting yourself toward what is true.

And when you offer those needs to another person with clarity and presence, you’re offering them a chance to meet you. The same is true in reverse—when someone shares their needs, they aren’t burdening you; they’re inviting you into the intimacy of understanding them more fully.

Connection isn’t built through guessing or contorting ourselves into who we think we should be. It grows when each person is brave enough to say, this is what matters to me, and spacious enough to hear, this is what matters to you.

Needs aren’t weaknesses.
They’re direction.
They’re truth-telling.
They’re the quiet architecture of every relationship that feels nourishing and alive.
