Events, Retreats, & Workshops:
There are no events planned at the moment. Stay tuned...
What kinds of retreats & workshops do I offer? Transformational ones. Retreats steeped in meaning, magic, depth, creativity, connection, and support. If you are ready to take the next step toward your radiant life, but you’re not sure how, this may be your answer. Perhaps you can sense the brilliance of your potential, or maybe you still feel in the shadow of the patterns, belief systems, and not-so-healthy behaviors that keep you stuck. Together in an aligned community with skillful heartfelt support, you will discover a powerful invitation for impactful inner-growth, new beginnings, and discovery through creativity, meaningful group connection, and skillful facilitation.
Imagine gathering with a small group of like-minded, supportive, aligned people for a group experience to help elevate and expand your growth. When you source from the power of an aligned group, you participate in the experience of being elevated and supported as you step into a bigger, more beautiful, and more illuminated life than you could have ever imagined possible.
Some of my offerings are collaborations with other gifted healers & practitioners, and other events I offer as the sole leader. Regardless if I am your singular host, or co-facilitating with another practitioner, my retreat offerings sources from the vast skill base of my 17+ years as a licensed clinical psychotherapist before I became a coach, as well as being a board-certified art therapist. Through the retreat experience I invite you to engage with creativity and art making, writing, nature, deep personal processing, meditation, meaningful ceremony, and so much more.

If you prefer a one-of-a-kind custom talk, I would be happy to design one specifically tailored to your needs.
From Here to There: The Contrast Between Average and Extraordinary
You want your blood pressure to be normal. You want your child to be developing along a normal growth curve. Certain measures of normal indicate health, while others reveal stereotypes and sameness that result in drifting in a sea of gray. This talk discusses what every superhero, underdog, and prodigy have in common: They are outliers in a society of normal—they’re different. Learn how the specialness that comes with differentiation is not just for the heroes and prodigies. You are already on the continuum between ordinary and extraordinary, you simply must unearth and nurture the gifts that make you shine—that’s what we’ll uncover.
Aligned Relationships: Connections That Help You Thrive
Whether you’re resentful, angry, or tense, the angsty feeling about your relationship doesn’t have to be your status quo. Imagine if your partnerships, friendships, work and family relationships provided you nourishment rather than depletion. This talk is a motivational deep-dive into attracting, building, and sustaining the meaningful relationships of your deepest longing with a powerful therapeutic methodology unlike any other.
The Three Pillars of a Radiant Life
Did you know that life can be better—not just better, but actually radiant? Here’s your ticket to understanding how to activate that spark in your relationships, work, and everyday life. Imagine an existence where your inner pilot-light roars with brilliance and magnetizes such meaning and freedom that it expands beyond yourself and permeates the world in an impactful ripple-effect. Learn from this talk how to cultivate a Radiant Life with a unique methodology that combines authentic integrity, aligned relationships, and creativity for a fresh take on what is possible for you and for all of us.
The Power of Tree Drawings
This is an art therapy based speech that teaches a tree drawing directive that can be used for personal growth, insight, healing, and awareness. You will get the chance to create a tree drawing of your own, and learn the analytical properties and art therapeutic meaning in depth. This speech is a crowd favorite time and time again, and by far the most requested of all my speeches.

Gentle disclaimer:
I will hold and create space for you in a steadfast, committed way. That being said, I am not a magician, and this work is not an “easy button” that will eradicate your challenges without your participation. This work requires your commitment as well. It may be uncomfortable at times when you spend time with the patterns and dynamics that do not serve you. Discomfort is valuable growing soil for planting the seeds of the future self you long to be. Alongside discomfort will also be deep gratification and immense growth you will feel proud of. Please come to this work when you are truly ready to create change in your life from a space of genuine willingness to show up and dig in. From that willing space, it will be my honor to walk this path with you as your guide, and countless realms of wellness will be possible for you.
Our Approach to A Radiant Life
AN INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS) PARTS-WORK APPROACH TO HEALING
Every single person on this planet is composed of many parts. There may be a part of you that is hurting, an angry part, a sad part, a perfectionist part, and so on. Many of us use language like: “Part of me wants to go skydiving, but another part of me is afraid.” In this way, we already know Parts Work in a casual sense. Now I invite you to consciously use it in your inner work process. Deep within and expanding beyond your many parts exists a true self. This is where compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, connection, calm, confidence, and courage (the 8 C’s of IFS self-energy) exist in abundance. The powerful framework of IFS Parts Work invites you to use self-energy to befriend every part of you (even the ones that make you squirm!) and source information from them about your innermost needs. You will learn to see that there are no bad parts, and the goal is not to get rid of any part of you—simply to help them re-balance. Parts that bring you pain and discomfort are simply messengers with valuable information for you about where your inner system is imbalanced. Through guided imagery and somatic work, creativity, and thoughtful exploration I will teach you how Parts Work can help guide you to a place of freedom, health, and awareness in your life beyond anything you have ever known.
A NEUROSCIENCE APPROACH TO HEALING
Integrating a neuroscience approach to therapy is a hugely helpful aspect of this work. Modern science has uncovered inspiring discoveries about how our mood, health, and greater perspective of life can be deeply impacted and healed on a neurological level much more effectively than previously thought. The discovery of neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to adapt and change its structure) teaches us that we can change the way we are physically wired on a brain level, effectively re-shaping the way we engage in our world and feel in our bodies. How, you might be wondering? I am thrilled to bring you into this exciting healing science with various practices that include art, somatic experiencing, guided imagery work, mindfulness, and so much more. I will teach you how to gain greater authority of your brain and positively impact your life by integrating these impactful skills.
AN ART THERAPY APPROACH TO HEALING
Georgia O’Keeffe once said, "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - Things I had no words for." This is the beauty of Art Therapy. If you would like to weave creative expression into your therapy work, Art Therapy offers immeasurable healing benefits for people of all ages and abilities. No, you don’t need to have any prior experience with art to engage in Art Therapy. Creating art is a fundamental human ability, and the potential for creative expression lives within you too (whether you have dipped into it or not, I promise). Incorporating all kinds of artistic materials to engage emotional, psychological, spiritual, and behavioral experiences within a person can reveal and repair a great deal therapeutically. Both the active creative process of artmaking as well as the image itself can uncover important patterns, beliefs, and emotional reactions that a person may experience both consciously and unconsciously. A creative image can serve as a physical metaphor for someone who may not be willing or able to speak about their challenges. In this way, the art can speak for you by honoring your experience and reflecting back your powerful internal feelings, needs, and possibilities.
