Shadow Work Guide


Now Accepting Clients


As you spiral through the darkness, I’ll meet you there. Nothing is too heavy or off limits—bring it all: the mess, the grief, the exhaustion, the parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide. Together, we turn toward what hurts, not to fix or erase it, but to uncover what’s still whole beneath it.

My work is grounded in the teachings of Barry Michels and Phil Stutz, integrating their practical, psychologically informed tools for transformation with a deeply compassionate, embodied approach to shadow work.

I specialize in guiding mothers and new mothers through the thresholds of identity, grief, and rebirth that accompany motherhood—the moments when who you’ve been and who you’re becoming meet in the dark.

Our sessions create space for truth-telling, release, and renewal. You don’t have to have it all together. You only need the willingness to look honestly at what’s here, and to trust that light lives inside it.

Sessions: 50 minutes ($100/session)
