Behind the Practice

About My Practice & Approach

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and certified Project Management Professional (PMP). My life’s work is dedicated to holding space for deep feelers, high-functioning professionals, and seekers navigating profound thresholds in their lives.

My journey has been defined by a commitment to moving past the surface of traditional "talk therapy" to understand the true architecture of human suffering and reclamation. Along the way, I realized that deep somatic healing, 3rd Wave cognitive inquiry, cyclical wisdom, and highly structured project management are not separate disciplines—they are essential partners.

• Cyclical Consciousness provides the seasonal bedrock that honors your body's natural rhythms over linear burnout;

• Somatic Restoration gives us the internal safety to feel;

• 3rd Wave Inquiry gives us the clarity to uncouple raw physical sensation from catastrophic narratives;

• Project Management gives us the external structure and pacing to actually build our lives without collapsing.

When we marry these four elements, we step off the industrial clock and unlock a truly sovereign way to live.

The Four-Fold Architecture: How We Work Together

To bring this synthesis into our sessions, we treat our time together as an active, highly intentional container rather than an open-ended conversation. In every session, we work through an integrated four-fold lens—supported by custom-designed resources:

1. Cyclical Consciousness & Seasonal Rhythm

We anchor your healing in the natural intelligence of cyclical time—weaving menstrual cycle awareness, seasonal rhythms, and depth wisdom into our space. Rather than forcing your nervous system to conform to rigid, high-production societal demands, we map your internal weather, honoring times for outward expansion alongside sacred seasons of rest, wintering, and lament.

2. Somatic Calibration & De-Threating

We tune into the physical landscape of your body, working with your nervous system in real-time. Using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and somatic tracking, we identify where your system is holding onto chronic tension or danger signals, helping you draw fine distinctions between raw physical sensation and threat stories to restore a sense of deep, natural ease.

3. 3rd Wave Cognitive Inquiry & Choice Thinking

We bring precise inquiry to the implicit questions running in the background of your mind. Integrating Byron Katie’s Inquiry, Question-Centered frameworks, and Choice Thinking, we catch the "Why am I broken?" panic loops and pivot onto the curious Learner Path. We uncouple present reality from catastrophic projections, dismantling the mental narratives that keep your nervous system on high alarm.

4. Structural Integration & Pacing

We anchor those somatic, cognitive, and seasonal shifts into practical, daily reality. Drawing on project management principles, we translate internal breakthroughs into sustainable micro-steps. We map out your pacing, boundaries, and energy reserves so you leave every session with absolute clarity instead of overwhelm.

Your Guided Trellis

To bridge the gap between our sessions, I have designed custom workbooks for each pathway. Delivered straight to your inbox, these are not generic journals—they are structured maps for your sacred excavations.

They provide the exact practical, step-by-step blueprints you need to safely dig deep, track your internal seasons, practice your 3rd Wave inquiry tools, retrain your neural pathways, and protect your nervous system in the days between our calls.

Advanced Clinical Foundation

I have studied mind-body medicine and Pain Reprocessing Therapy under Dr. Howard Schubiner, equipping me with advanced tools to help clients structurally retrain their nervous systems and break the chronic "danger loops" driving centralized physical pain, anxiety, and exhaustion.

My work is deeply enriched by specialized training in holistic body and cycle literacy, mapping the rhythmic, seasonal architectures of biology and consciousness, as well as 3rd Wave cognitive methods that update the internal Q&A of the psyche.

By blending clinical psychotherapy with my expertise as a PMP and a deep reverence for cyclical consciousness, I help you build the practical, real-world trellises your life needs to flourish without burning out your nervous system. Whether we are retraining chronic pain neural pathways, dismantling terrifying mind loops, or learning to pace your energy across the internal seasons, my role is to help you safely read the terrain of your system and step into your own conscious, sovereign leadership.
