A moment in the desert changed nothing—and everything.

This wasn’t the beginning of my awakening, but it was the first time I had an expanded view of what had been unfolding all along.

I had been doing the slow work for years—questioning, unraveling, listening beneath my own stories, following threads I didn’t yet know how to name.

There had been glimpses, whispers, cracks of light…but in that quiet, open desert, something shifted.

It was as if all the threads I’d been holding suddenly came together in a multi-dimensional tapestry.

A knowing.
A widening.
A “yes—this is what has always been happening.”

That moment didn’t start my awakening.
It confirmed it.

It showed me that inner truth arrives slowly, like breath.
And that the stories we carry are holding more wisdom than we realize.

That’s why I do this work.

My path isn’t linear. It’s layered.

I spent years teaching science—studying how we learn, how we ask questions, how we seek and integrate knowledge.

Then I became a photographer and storyteller through still images and video. Those adventures brought an exploration of light, shadow, personal expression, and the stories a single moment can hold.

Along the way, I studied and trained in multiple personality typology frameworks (Enneagram, MBTI, Jungian cognitive function theory, etc), color analysis + personal style expression, somatic + spiritual inquiry, and coaching rooted in presence and awareness.

These studies weren’t about collecting degrees or certifications—they were the natural path of my own inner unraveling and remembering.

I work in the intersection of seeker and artist and guide.

I believe…

  • Stories are mirrors—and teachers. They show us our values, our wounds, our growth, and our longing.

  • Awakening unfolds—not all at once, but layer by layer.

  • We awaken not by choosing light over shadow, but by integrating both. Wholeness comes from honoring the full spectrum of our experience.

  • Every story holds truth beneath the surface.

  • Insight arrives when we create space for it.

  • Presence opens the door.

  • We find our way home by looking within.

  • Trace the threads of your story, and direction reveals itself.

  • Creativity, infused with consciousness, is a conversation with the unseen.

How I work with people

When we sit together, I’m listening—not just to your words, but to what lives beneath them.

The metaphor inside a moment.
The detail your story keeps returning to.
The shift in your breath.
The place your body tells the truth before your voice does.
The belief you inherited but never consciously agreed to.

I’m not here to analyze you or decide what your story means.

I witness.
I reflect.
I help you see what’s been waiting beneath the remembered version of events.

I don’t rush you toward the light or pull you out of the dark.

I sit with you in the middle—where truth lives.

Your shadow has wisdom.

Your light has direction.

And part of this work is learning to hold both without judgment, so they can each be integrated.

Together, we trace the threads of what is ready to be seen to understand what shaped you, to loosen what still holds you, and to let the truth inside your story rise so that you can integrate and release what no longer belongs to the person you’re becoming.

The texture of my becoming

I’m not afraid of tears—they feel like neon, lighting the way to what matters.

I love the quiet of early morning, when the world hasn’t yet assigned shape or speed to my day.

I laugh easily when joy surprises me.

And yes—I talk to my dog like she understands every word. 🐕

I’m inspired by…

🌟 art + creativity

🌟 expansive, wide-open spaces

🌟 Icelandic winter light

🌟 the dance between shadow and light

🌟 self-expression that sparks inner reflection

My journey is about coming home to myself, again and again, and inspiring others remember themselves, too.

This is me—right now, still unfolding.
