Your Healing Journey

Emerge is a therapeutic practice with the goal of supporting you on your path of healing and transformation.  I use a variety of compassionate intuitive methods to guide this process.

THerapEutic Philosophy

Healing is a process of discovery, surrender, grief, shedding and rebirth.  Like all things in nature, humans go through cycles of transformation and emergence.  Emerging means something different at every stage of life and to everybody.  I view this process as a type of birth, with stages of inception, gestation, transition, birth, and integration of these changes.  Your soul knows how to transform.  I'm here to support you in this process.

Live The QUestionS

• How can your intuition support you in making choices that align with your deepest values and intentions?
• How can you transform strong emotion and energy through the body?
• How can you let go of that which no longer serves you?
• How can you process feelings of deep pain, grief or loss in order to reconnect with your life?
• Can you see your personal healing as a service and offering to the greater whole?  
• What kind of nourishment do you need?
• In what ways are you feeling called to evolve?
• What blocks you from your experience of love or truth?  
• What aspects of yourself have you exiled and how can they be re-integrated?

My working style

I work from a place of grounded awareness, care, and respect.  I offer presence, deep listening, gentle holistic guidance and challenging of patterns in order to support embodiment, wholeness and empowerment.  I am interested in shifting the healer-healed dynamic by highlighting our interconnectedness.  I hold a professional role, but I am not the authority of your experience.   

As with any relationship, you can decide if you can benefit from working with me.  If you need a different kind of support, I can refer you to someone who will better serve your needs.

Personal Mission

My mission is to be in service to healing the collective body, mind, and spirit.  I am interested in the way oppressive cultural and global systems live in the psyche and how to create a different reality.  I'm committed to working consciously with power and privilege.  I do my work to unpack the internalized effects of white supremacy, patriarchy, and sexual and racial oppression.  

I especially curious about times of transition and development, which can be experienced as cycles of shedding and rebirth, and how to best support this process.  I strive to support clients emotionally, physically and energetically through these rites of passage.  

​I feel an urgency about bring healing to the collective as we face many humanitarian and environmental challenges.  I see the need for fierce and loving people to come into their power.  In my experience, being open to both pain and joy leads to healing, truth, greater compassion and intimacy with life.  But not without support!  Helpful guides and teachers seen and unseen are needed at all stages.
