PRESENCE SESSIONS
A non-pathologizing partnership, rooted in curiosity and compassion, centering care and connection. A safe container to process, question, feel and be with what is. An exploration of what matters to you.
SACRED WITNESS. NO SHAME.
You've helped me feel so comfortable in my quirky eccentricities, helped me feel less like a cliché "manic pixie girl." For once in my life I feel confident in who I am and asserting what my capacities are, working to change the ones I can improve and learning to love the things about me that I cannot.
- Erica E.
“I personally want to thank you for the challenge and helping me realize my "story" is so much more than trauma and awful memories. That I am strong. Thank you a million times over.”
- Amanda M.
“You make my heart and mind stretch and grow in the most unexpected directions. You’ve made such a huge difference in my life with your care, but most of all with your no-nonsense, brutal honesty.”

SUPPORTIVE CARE
ON YOUR TERMS.
Private 1:1 sessions personalized to your needs and your choice.
Our process will be embodied + experimental.
We will show up as peers. I’ll come with my whole self, and you’ll come with yours.
With respect and reverence for the time you are in, we’ll be present with what has come to you, turning toward what’s here, what’s heavy, what hurts.
I won’t recommend 3 quick strategies to “all better” or try to fix you. Instead, we’ll wonder aloud about what you’re up to, wrestle with hard things, and (if it feels good to you) explore uncommon ways of taking good care.
We may practice nervous system regulation, or get to know your inner parts, or pull tarot cards, or meditate together, or speak practically about next steps, or violently lament the way things are… or… you decide. All of the tools in my tool bag are at your disposal. It’s all in service of what you need right here, right now.
NO AGENDA.
Just you and me— two flawed and fallible human beings, in a moment of shared understanding, being with the trouble.
PRESENCE SESSIONS are a judgement-free space to engage with whatever in you needs tending— while receiving attunement, affirmation and support.
As I pray and process how to proceed, I am keeping your insight in mind. You’ve helped me think things through with deeper understanding and consider right timing. I feel encouraged to be as I am, to love and accept others, and touch the world around me in a way only I can.”
- Katie P.
“For the first time I feel like I'm doing an ok job with all of this life stuff. I want to really take my time and listen to your beautiful words. Soak them in. This means so much to me.”
- Alice W.
“Your words resonate so loudly within me that I can't believe I didn't say them myself. Thanks for talking about the real. It reminds me that it's ok to have the bad days, and I can't thank you enough for that reminder.
Danielle B.
“You inspired to get off my butt and try again. Not because I had to, but because I needed that for myself. You changed my life. I'm still the same person but you lit the flame to finally do the thing. Bless you.”
