psychotherapist and intuitive healer
Across time and many cultures, snakes have symbolized the regenerative powers of the psyche and the cyclical nature of the human condition. The Ouroboros, which roots date back to accident Egypt, is just one example of this image. Furthermore, snakes have long been associated with feminine power. In history and in myths, women like Cleopatra, Medusa, and even Taylor Swift, have all been associated with this mystical and intriguing creature.
I have been frequently told by my former clients and women I work with that I am like your 'dark fairy godmother'. And while I (unfortunately) can't wave a magic wand and make all your dreams come true, I can give you the tools to navigate the dark and unknown parts of yourself so that you can embrace who you truly are.
I consider myself an intuitive healer with a deep passion to uncover and understand the human psyche. This interest, which started early in my development, and led me to explore subjects like psychology, philosophy, art, mythology, and wide array of spiritual healing practices. Therefore nothing is off limits!
As an avid feminist with over 10 years of experience providing counseling and social services to women, I am passionate about creating models of healing that center women’s experiences at the forefront. Since this is often missing in Western psychotherapy, which predominately has reflected masculine values or men’s self-actualization process. Moreover, I am the host of the Goddess-Witch Spectrum™ podcast, which I created for women to learn how to reconcile both their Goddess and Witchy aspects to move towards greater wholeness within themselves.

Current treatment practices in psychotherapy and western medicine, often discount the importance of the body and the wisdom that traditional spiritual healing practices hold. These holistic forms of healing include techniques such as reiki, tarot, yoga, chakra and energy work, tapping, acupuncture and many more.
That is why I like to incorporate them into my approach.
These techniques, arguably more relational in nature, are seen as less important due to western standards around performance and symptom management, rather than getting to the root of one’s suffering. Despite this bias, mine and others research confirms that throughout history healers of all forms have existed, and majority of these healers were women or non-binary individuals. These individuals, often called “wise women" would perform rituals to heal individuals’ minds and bodies to reconnect them to their sacred energy or source (the self). Thus, the wisdom of our ancestors and modern Indigenous healers contain a wealth of knowledge and value, that western society has yet to fully understand or embrace.
Throughout history, humans have tried to understand themselves using different forms of healing. A common theme among these approaches is that when we experience trauma, suffering or other forms of wounding, we become disconnected from the core parts of us, which leads to psychological, emotional, relational and physical distress. Therefore, when this form of soul loss occurs, we are forced to hide parts of ourselves as a form of protection. This is especially true for women as they have had to learn how to navigate oppressive systems throughout much of history. Therefore, I use a holistic feminist depth-oriented approach to healing to help women uncover and reconnect to the core parts of themselves, so that they can reclaim all aspects of their divine feminine wisdom within.
This is what inspired me to integrate the knowledge I acquired through my training in psychology, with the power of more feminine forms of healing, to create a truly transformative healing approach that blends both the light and the dark, the masculine and the feminine, to help individuals rediscover their core sense of Self.
