Grief Work & Collapse Care
I work with people experiencing all types of grief including grief over personal loss, injustice, environmental destruction, ancestral trauma, and collapse. I provide a loving, soulful base so we can navigate the underworld terrain together. This looks different for different people and often includes deep listening, somatic practices, ritual, and support from the more-than-human world.
Individual sessions are $150 for 50-60 minutes. I offer a sliding scale to people with significantly oppressed identities, people who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, and activists who have limited access to financial resources.
Note: Often my one-on-one practice is full, you can also check out my schedule page or sign up for my newsletter to learn about my group offerings.
Mentoring & Consultation
I mentor facilitators, grief tenders, healers, coaches, and creatives who want to embed soul and a collective liberation lens into their work. I can support you in exploring what’s challenging you somatically, emotionally, soulfully, and/or practically. I’m also extremely effective at collaborating and heart-storming ideas for offerings and workshops.
1 hour mentoring sessions are $150/hour; 2.5 hour creative consultations, where we jam on a specific project or idea, are $300/session. I offer a sliding scale to people with significantly oppressed identities, people who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, and activists who have limited access to financial resources.

Facilitation & Mediation
With a Doctorate in Law and Masters in Counseling Psychology, I’m formally trained in deep democracy work, group systems, legal mediation and alternative dispute resolution. I’ve also facilitated and participated in community building and accountability processes. I’ve worked with groups small and large (200+) to facilitate deeper understanding, integrate loss and grief, and engage in discord and conflict resolution. By holding a steady container for the group, challenging topics can be explored, emotional capacity increased, and trust strengthened. All of my work with groups is relationship oriented, trauma and grief informed, and embedded with a deep systemic analysis. I can facilitate meetings, workshops, small group processes, and mediation.
My rates for group facilitation and mediation vary depending on group size, complexity, and duration. I enjoy working with groups on an ongoing basis and offer discounts when working with a group regularly or in a deeper process. I also offer a sliding scale to groups with significantly oppressed identities or doing anti-oppression work, including prison abolition work, with limited access to financial resources.

Rituals & Vigils
Ritual is any gesture done with intention and emotion. It allows us to express deeply and symbolically. It connects us to the Anima Mundi — the Soul of the world — and allows our psyches to integrate difficult material. Creating rituals requires the courage to be open and listen to something bigger than ourselves — listen to the land, our collective psyches, and our inner-visions. Working together, we can create ritual between the two of us or in a larger community.
