What kind of clients do you typically work with?
The people who find their way here are often deeply capable and used to keeping it all together. But behind that competence, there’s often quiet exhaustion, self-pressure, and a longing to feel more connected, grounded, or free.
They’ve learned to mute, manage, or carry certain parts of themselves alone in order to stay functional in the environments they’ve been in.
This work offers a different kind of space. One where they don’t have to hold it all together. One where they can start to reconnect with themselves and lay down what they’ve been carrying.
How is this different from traditional coaching or therapy?
This work isn’t therapy or traditional coaching, though it may touch similar themes.
Unlike therapy, I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Unlike traditional coaching, I don’t focus on goals or performance strategies.
Instead, I offer a steady, intuitive space grounded in presence, honesty, and compassion. My role is to help soften the pressure to perform and reconnect with what’s already true. It’s a relationship-based process, not a treatment plan.
How do you work?
Each session is intuitive, experiential, and responsive to what’s emerging. I don’t follow a fixed plan; we move with the rhythm of your inner world.
My creative background plays a quiet but important role in how I hold space: attuned to tone, pacing, imagery, and what’s emotionally alive beneath the surface. You won’t be asked to perform or explain. You’ll be invited to feel into what’s true.
We might use guided imagery, mindfulness, or hypnosis, but the work is never about tools. It’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been sidelined and letting that reconnection unfold in a way that’s layered, honest, and real.
This work moves with you: layered, intuitive, and shaped by what’s emerging in the moment.
What is mindfulness, and how can it help with burnout & anxiety?
Mindfulness is the practice of noticing what’s here, without judgment, fixing, or needing to change it. It helps you reconnect with yourself by bringing awareness to what you’re feeling, sensing, and needing in the moment.
In this work, mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind or staying calm all the time. It’s about getting honest with what’s beneath the surface: the tension in your chest, the pressure to perform, the part of you that’s always bracing. When you can meet those moments with presence and compassion, the grip starts to loosen.
For many of the people I work with, this helps soften anxiety, release emotional pressure, and create space for real healing to begin. Not by doing more, but by reconnecting with themselves.
What tools or methods do you use?
I use experiential tools like guided imagery, mindfulness, and conversational hypnosis. These are gentle, intuitive methods that help access deeper layers of emotion, memory, and belief.
Mindfulness brings you back into your body and the present moment. Guided imagery invites symbolic insight from within. Hypnosis helps soften internal resistance and quiet the mental noise.
These tools aren’t here to fix you. They’re used with care to support self-connection, emotional clarity, and meaningful inner healing.
Is this spiritual work?
It can be, but not in a doctrinal or dogmatic way.
Some experience it as a return to self. Others, as an opening to something greater. There’s no required belief, just a willingness to listen inward.
However your experience unfolds, I’ll meet you there with care and openness.
From holding everything together to being held by something honest within.
How is your coaching structured?
I offer a 3-month coaching container called Inner Return. It includes 12 weekly 1-on-1 sessions held on Zoom. The first session is 90 minutes; the rest are 75. We’ll meet at the same time and day each week to support depth, rhythm, and real integration.
You’re welcome to begin with the first session as a standalone ($325). It’s a chance to experience the work before committing. If you choose to continue, that session counts as the start of your 3-month container, and the cost is applied toward the full fee.
After completing your initial container, you’re welcome to continue with another 3-month cycle, with weekly or biweekly sessions to support a new focus and ongoing healing.
You can learn more about the 3-month coaching container here.
Do you offer messaging or check-ins between sessions?
No, and that’s intentional.
This work isn’t something to dissect or replay like a lesson. It’s not about collecting insights or reanalyzing what was said. What matters most is what you felt in the moment and how that lives in your body and awareness after.
Instead of giving you more to process, I offer a weekly tending invitation: a simple, self-directed practice to support your connection between sessions. It’s not homework. It’s not something to get right. It’s a gentle prompt to stay in relationship with yourself without slipping into performance mode.
Less bracing. More breathing.
Can this work support trauma healing?
This isn’t trauma treatment or crisis care. I don’t diagnose, treat, or provide clinical support for psychological conditions.
That said, many people navigating trauma histories find this work supportive, especially when they feel emotionally steady enough to explore their inner world with care. What I offer is a steady, non-clinical space for self-awareness, emotional connection, and personal insight.
If you’re in active crisis, experiencing severe PTSD symptoms, or feeling emotionally unstable, it’s best to begin with a licensed therapist. This work may feel more helpful later on, when there’s enough internal stability to go inward without feeling overwhelmed.
What shifts and changes do people notice?
This isn’t about quick fixes or peak performance. It’s about softening the pressure, reconnecting with the parts of you that have been sidelined, and building a more honest relationship with yourself.
Clients often share that they:
-
Feel more present and less on edge
-
Notice a quiet steadiness that wasn’t there before
-
Start trusting their own voice instead of overriding it
-
Relate to life with more openness and less armor
-
Meet themselves with more compassion and acceptance
You may find yourself softening in surprising ways. Less bracing. More breathing. Decisions may feel clearer. Relationships may shift in ways that feel easier and more honest.
Do I need experience with inner work to begin?
Not at all.
You don’t need to know your patterns or have language for what’s happening. All that’s required is a genuine willingness to turn inward.
Whether this is your first experience with inner work or you’ve done it before, we begin with what’s here and move gently from there.
What if I’m not sure what I need?
You don’t have to know.
This work invites you to slow down, listen inward, and let healing unfold in its own way.
If something here resonates, you’re welcome to begin with a free 25-minute Zoom video call. It’s a quiet space to ask questions, share where you are, or simply talk it through. No prep. Just yourself.
I offer this work with care, and I want us both to feel that it’s the right fit before we begin.
