As a a depth psychologist and psycho-spiritual nature-based guide, she is dedicated to guiding individuals and groups along their paths of soul discovery and embodiment.

The work that she does is intended to actively support people in addressing this void in their lives. Specifically, she helps her clients identify and follow their unique soul threads and step into the river that runs beneath the surface of everyday life.
