LPC: Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-6402) in the State of Colorado. I was an unlicensed psychotherapist beginning in 2006, and became licensed in 2011. I no longer hold counseling licenses in any other state.
MA: I received my Masters of Arts in 2009 from Naropa university in Somatic Counseling. I completed a dual-track in Body-Psychotherapy and Dance / Movement Therapy.
CIFSTC: Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist & Consultant. I have completed all three levels of the Internal Family Systems, have completed a designated number of clinical hours using this method, and have been recommended by both peers and supervisors of Internal Family Systems. Certification comes through the IFS Institute. I have been practicing Internal Family Systems for about 25 years. I am also an approved IFS Consultant, which means I am approved to provide supervision/education for those seeking IFS Certification.
CPIT: Certified Psychedelic Integration Therapist through Fluence.
Clinical Facilitator in Training — Colorado Natural Medicine Program: While I have been teaching for Fluence for six years, (Fluence is a well-respected psychedelic-therapy education program) and have helped design some of their trainings, Colorado’s Natural Medicine law still requires me to complete the state’s full, approved facilitator training program before I can be licensed as a Clinical Facilitator. I have already completed a substantial portion of that program and am currently finishing the remaining requirements.
BA: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from San Francisco State University. I completed specialties in both Human Sexuality and Spanish.
LAPSED CERTIFICATIONS:
NBCMT: During 2002- 2017, I had been a Nationally Board Certified Massage Therapist through the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB). I completed my basic training at the School of Healing Arts in San Diego. I then completed an extensive massage program at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) and earned a Holistic Health Practitioner Certification with an emphasis in Structural Integration and SomatoEmotional Bodywork. I was a licensed massage therapist for over 25 years. I have continued my education throughout the years and now work more at the energetic and emotional levels via the framework of Somatic Psychotherapy and Spiritual Counseling. Since the work I do now is more psychotherapeutic, I have let this certification lapse.
R-DMT: Registered Dance Movement Therapist (1619) with the American Dance Therapy Association – I decided it was enough to be a Somatic Psychotherapist, I didn’t need more letters after my name.
RYT: I was a Registered Yoga Teacher (15395) with Yoga Alliance, since teaching yoga is not longer a primary focus of the work I do, I have not renewed.
I bill most clients in the US through IvyPay, a HIPPA compliant app which will guard your credit card number. For those without US phone numbers a variety of options are available, I can accept bank-to-bank transfers, and payments through venmo and wise, or you can pay on for sessions with a credit card through my website (ask for link).
While I am a licensed psychotherapist, I offer sessions under under my ministers ordination as a spiritual doula and holistic, transpersonal coach. As such, I do not diagnose or take insurance. However, if you are self-employed, you may be able to write-off your expenses with me.
My rate is $300/hour for coaching and counseling, and $350 for the initial session. Phone consults are billed at $75 per 15 minutes, though I don’t charge for brief calls. Consultation for clinicians and other mental health professionals is $300/hour. These rates reflect my extensive experience and training and my ongoing commitment to continuing education. Other affiliated providers of Interweaving Journeys set their own rates, ranging from $150–$225.
Executive coaching, medicine journeys, personalized retreats, and other specialized offerings are individually tailored — reach out and we’ll design a plan or package together.
I offer non-emergency counseling and coaching services. If you reach out to me between sessions, I do my best to respond, though my schedule doesn’t always permit it — and I generally don’t respond while I’m on vacation. If you’re facing an emergency that feels life-threatening, please call 911. If you’re in emotional distress or crisis, you can also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time.
One of my hopes for the people I work with is to help you build the capacity to be with intense emotions without being overwhelmed by them. When we can stay present with intense experience, we’re able to draw on our own inner resources to move through a crisis, rather than be buried beneath it.
Even so, life sometimes hands us challenges that are hard to navigate — moments when it’s difficult to find our footing or our ground. In times like these, I generally make myself more available, offering the kind of short-term support we all need when life turns upside down.
First, let me be clear about how I work: I’m not here as your therapist, but as your partner — a co-collaborator in your own evolution. This is your growth; my role is to walk alongside you as you move toward it. That said — you’re right that some people spend a long time in ongoing work. As I see it, there are a few main reasons for that:
- Some people carry an intense trauma history that simply can’t be worked through in a short time.
- Some choose to continue even after their major concerns have eased — ongoing support is a way to stay on track and keep dedicated time for their own growth.
- Some are navigating an ongoing challenge, like chronic pain or a progressive illness such as Parkinson’s, where continued support genuinely helps.
- Sometimes progress slows because so much of the real work happens between our sessions. I often say only about 20% of growth comes from our time together — the rest comes from what you do in daily life. That’s why I usually offer practices to carry with you between sessions.
- And sometimes it simply comes down to fit. Like any field, some practitioners are a better match for a given person than others.
Because our work is collaborative, I begin by getting clear on your goals and revisit them with you regularly, so we stay on track and don’t get lost in the issue of the week. And I’ll always be honest with you. If we’ve been working together for a while and you’re not feeling the shifts you’d hoped for, I’ll say so — and together we’ll either adjust our approach or, if I’m not the right fit for what you need, I’ll help you find someone who is. Your growth matters to me more than keeping you as a client.
I’m based in Longmont, Colorado, where I work from a private home office and my home retreat space, the Soul Medicine Sanctuary (website coming soon SoulMedicineSanctuary.com). My office is at a confidential location — a warm, artistic, intimate setting that offers privacy and ease for the personal work we do together.
That said, most of my sessions happen online which means I have the joy of working with people across the globe, including a fair number of clients in Europe. Wherever you are, we can find a way to meet.
In-person sessions and retreats are available by arrangement here in Longmont. For my affiliated providers’ locations, please see their individual profile. All providers at Interweaving Journeys offer online sessions.
I work with adults from all walks of life, and what matters most to me isn’t your background or any diagnosis, it’s that you’re genuinely motivated to grow and ready to lean into change. That readiness is what makes this work come alive.
Many people find me because conventional approaches haven’t fully worked for them, or because they’re seeking something more holistic and spiritually grounded. I’m especially drawn to work with:
- People moving through major life transitions — divorce, loss, reinvention, moving into elderhood or standing at a crossroads.
- High-achieving and executive clients who look successful on the outside but feel a quiet struggle within.
- Fellow therapists, coaches, and spiritual healers doing their own deep work (at least half my practice is other practitioners).
- Those who find the traditional psychotherapy lens too narrow and feel drawn to mysticism, ritual, rites of passage, and expanded states of consciousness — you tend to feel right at home in my work.
- Anyone longing for a more holistic, embodied, and spiritual path to wellbeing.
Because my work is coaching and consultation rather than clinical treatment, some situations call for specialized or higher level of care — for example, active eating disorders, active substance addiction, or being at high risk of suicide. In those cases you’ll be best supported by a provider equipped for that level of care, and I’m always glad to help point you toward the right resource. And if at any point I sense a different kind of support would serve you better, I’ll tell you and help you find it.
Yes. The majority of my sessions are held online — it’s convenient, flexible, and lets me work with people across the country and around the world. That said, in-person sessions are available at my home office in Longmont, and I offer in-person groups and gatherings at my retreat space, the Soul Medicine Sanctuary.
