My Mission
I believe that humanity cannot progress without addressing the deeply rooted traumas and maladaptive patterns of relating to one another that persist among the collective consciousness. In order to heal we must all be accountable to our inner work. Therefore, my mission is to hold space to witness and support the inner work of those who are ready to claim sovereignty over their identity and lives, while maintaining the utmost ethical integrity.
What I Do
I am a compassionate depth worker utilizing Vedic Astrology, Tarot, and Ceremonial Cacao to offer tangible tools, support, and sacred witnessing to those ready to meet their depths honestly. My work involves channeling intuitive information by establishing an energetic connection between me, you, and Spirit. The resulting information is co-authored by your experience being conveyed through the lens of my knowledge and lived understanding, leaving you feeling seen and possessing new clarity.
Why Work With Me?
How can you know if I’m the right person to work with? I believe that we are naturally drawn to teachers and healers that walk a similar path to our own, who are “on the same wavelength” so to speak. We know that they have something to offer us when we experience an intuitive resonance with that person – it just feels right. Still, we want to be able to objectively assess their qualifications. These are the foundations I bring to this work:
Professional Qualifications
Before I started the Moon Lodge, I achieved a 10-year career in Human Services as a caregiver and employment consultant for developmentally disabled adults. I hold a B.A. in Human Services, establishing my competency in person-centered interventions, case management, and advocacy. I am experienced in political advocacy, having served as an executive member of my local political organization during 2016 and participated in multiple years of organized lobbying in the interest of advancing the needs of the disability community in Washington State. I am a powerful advocate for my clients because I am wholly committed to person-centered philosophy, which honors the sovereignty of all individuals to identify solutions and be accountable to their own healing process.
Background Knowledge
In addition to my experience as a Human Services professional, I have nurtured a profound intellectual curiosity through extensive study and research relating to psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. My approach is influenced by Carl Jung, Robert A Johnson, Joseph Campbell, Ram Dass, Besser Van der Kolk, John Bowlby’s attachment theory, and the philosophies of Daoism, Hinduism, existentialism, and sacred femininity. My appetite for critical thinking means that my methods are grounded in established bodies of thought and knowledge, while reinforced by my personal experience of what actually works. You can trust that I’ve given serious consideration to the mechanisms and effectiveness of the tools and modalities I implement in my practice.
Personal Experience
In my own life I have engaged in deep healing work around my own interpersonal trauma that resulted from being raised in a household where substance abuse and untreated mental illness was present. I have grappled with and overcome severe anxiety, emotional dysregulation, overthinking, chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, disordered eating patterns, and existential crises. With a deeply analytical and perceptive mind, I have accomplished extensive investigative work into my own psyche and behavioral patterns. I participated in intensive therapy to learn new coping strategies and facilitate deep healing on a subconscious level through the use of hypnotherapy and EMDR. My healing path has also been deepened by ancestral clearing work, shadow integration and dream interpretation through a Jungian lens, and an earth-based spiritual practice that has been central to my own becoming. I intimately understand what it is like to suffer from feeling out of control, lost, and afraid. I can also confidently affirm that it’s possible to heal.
