Mentorship

The ground of this work is our natural and exquisite expression of this beautiful, creative earthly existence. The context is the violence, separation and oppression of dominant culture - modernity, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, gender norms, and other normative socialization - from which none of us are exempt.

Remembering who we are, uncovering our essential nature and unique expression of service, is an initiatory journey. We all have the primal needs of authenticity and belonging, to walk in sovereignty in connection with others. To cultivate the deep sense of our own soul requires courage to welcome natural impulses, feelings, desires and needs and meet the most vulnerable places within ourselves with a steady and compassionate heart. It is often our particular genius and gifts that have had to be suppressed - wild and wise, magical, creative, unkempt, truth telling artist, the bold or quiet eccentric - to exist within the matrix of modernity.

Together we honor and unlearn our protective survival strategies, and conditions, beliefs and narratives we internalized, and begin to follow what brings us most alive. Soul healing is radical activism and relational work, finding our voice on behalf of what we love, truly engaging collective care and making space for the simple extraordinariness of day to day life. It is not for those who want to continue with business as usual and not upset the status quo.

We may get the call through illness, symptoms, repeated trauma, grief, longings, dreams, or just the sense that there is something deeper and truer life is asking of us. Perhaps you have a sense of how you are called to show up in this world, and need skilled and experienced accompaniment and support to access your interiority for guidance and wisdom. We do this work not just for personal healing, though we may come to it through that portal, and not for self improvement, as we are born holy, but for a larger vision and sense of self, inextricably connected to all people, beings, moss, mycelium, aspen, neighbor, wolf, water and a wildly entangled web of interconnectivity. We are each here to contribute to a world of peace, justice and beauty.

Through befriending and attunement, we do the work of cultivating a supple heart, a steady mind and a loving awareness so you are more able to be present with the full range of the experience of being human and open to the mystery in your own soul, reclaiming a birthrite for a depth of meaning, purpose and imagination and a responsibility towards healing justice and the repair and regeneration of a living culture.

It is a joy and honor to support you on the journey of coming home to yourself and tending a vision for your life on behalf of life.

License Disclaimer: Although I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (#46788) since 2009, my work is as a mentor and soul guide. I support you to move out of conditioned beliefs, uncover your aliveness, presence and truth to move through life with more authenticity, courage and clarity of purpose, with a sense of innate, wild belonging and rooted responsibility. If at any point in our work together, it becomes clear that traditional psychotherapy would better suit your needs, I will make recommendations accordingly.
