• I create containers for intimate groups of women to come together and do cool shit.

  • I write things that make people feel big things.

Welcome in…

I don’t think it’s an accident you’re here.

I spent over 13 years as a trauma therapist, specializing in Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and integrating psychedelics into healing work. I ran a thriving private practice for over 5 years.

I created The Self-Trust Model™ to help synthesize everything I’ve learned and experienced in 16 years in the human psychology world.

We explore how Self-Trust is the “golden skeleton key” to the life you desire.

Now, I get to work with women in other really cool ways:

  • I get to share the model and my personal experiences of life, love, and liberation in my books.

  • I get to teach others how to use this model with their clients.

I’m a curious person by nature (I think we all are in some way). I embrace living in the questions and realizing that the more I know… the less I know. I love working with people who also want to ask the big + deep questions of their soul. 

I delight in the paradox of always learning more and fully trusting myself. 

Formerly a proud nomad, I now find solace in home + family amidst the beauty of Colorado. But, you can still find me galavanting into the magical Pacific Northwest forests often.

I prefer this definition of home: “The place someone flourishes best” .

Grab a mug of tea… and welcome to your transformation.

More about me…

  • I’m a tea fanatic and begin each day with an English Breakfast tea latte (or 6). 🫖 

  • I’m an avid hiker. (quiet treks in solitude > busy 14’ers + national parks - although this pic was taken at the top of Angel’s Landing in Zion NP — worth it.)

  • I’m still an overthinker when it comes to self-disclosure. Blame it on 13 years as a trauma therapist.

  • I’m an introvert who still secretly celebrates when plans get canceled. 🤫

  • I’m a believer in the healing power of mountain air + snow. ❄️

  • I’m a person who values intentional + deep relationships.

  • I’m a former nomad who probably over-romanticizes that time of my life. 

  • I’m a 4/6 Splenic Manifestor.  

  • I’m a person who has a complicated relationship with labeling any of my “identities”.
