focus

The primary focus of the counseling/mentoring sessions in my 1-on-1 offering is support through ‘matrescence’ – the physical, emotional and identity transition into motherhood. Matrescence isn’t just about becoming a mom. It’s becoming someone new while the old self dissolves, often without enough support, language or space to integrate what’s happening. I support identity shifts before and after birth or adoption; grief for who you were; overwhelm, numbness or not-knowing; the quiet, unseen thresholds of motherhood.

I also support navigating other major life changes: divorce (contemplation of, during or after); relationship changes or endings (familial ties, dating, friendships, etc.); trauma recovery; grief and loss; spiritual or existential questioning; and big life re-orientation (job loss, relocation, change in role–such as a child becoming their parent's caregiver, etc.) – events that can happen in one's life that may bring on a profound change of identity.

If you’re in a season of ‘becoming’ – especially in early or ongoing motherhood – you’re not broken. You’re in process. And you don’t have to cross this threshold alone.

more on liminal spaces

Liminal spaces often feel like confusion or fog, emotional sensitivity, grief mixed with anticipation, feeling untethered or unrecognizable, wanting answers but not having them yet. Nothing is "wrong" – again, you're just in process.

Liminal phases are uncomfortable because they're unstable, but they're also deeply important. They're where identity re-organizes, values clarify, and new ways of being take shape.

If rushed or ignored, they can feel chaotic. If supported, they become integrative and grounding.

1-on-1 sessions with me

Ideally, each session will be held outdoors in a natural environment (weather-permitting) because being in nature calms the nervous system, lowers stress, and helps the body shift out of survival mode through gentle sensory regulation. It restores emotional balance and a sense of belonging by reconnecting us to natural rhythms that support healing and presence. However, there is value in holding sessions indoors, in a private space, and so if that is something you prefer, we can discuss that arrangement. 

My approach supports clients in moving at their own pace, strengthening self-trust, and integrating change without overwhelm or re-traumatization. I want to be clear that my offering does not replace conventional therapy or medical care. It complements them by focusing on embodiment, pacing and integration – the parts of change that often fall outside traditional models but deeply affect how people heal and adapt.

Major life transitions place a unique strain on the nervous system and sense of identity. My role is to help people slow the process down, notice what's happening internally, and regain agency and coherence as they adapt.

Energetic clearing and intuitive healing sessions may include chakra clearing and balancing (and soon, sound healing!)

Counseling/mentoring sessions can be done in person or online. At this time, energetic clearing/intuitive healing sessions are done in person only.
