From Reaction to Re-Creation
Thought illuminates. Emotion activates. Action integrates.
• KNOW • FEEL • DO •
Chances are you know your patterns. You've talked through your feelings in therapy. Maybe you've even mastered the mindset work.
So why do you still feel so stuck?
Because all of that is necessary — and none of it, alone, is sufficient.
What actually changes a pattern isn't understanding it, feeling it, or reframing it alone. It's knowing, feeling, and doing all at once — fully enough that your mind updates what it believes, not just what it thinks.
You need to experience your way to something new.
Every session can be an act of re-creation
This isn't just a framework you learn. It's a condition we build together, every session. We’re relating to ourselves in a new way, embodying a different experience, and creating a new possibility. It’s not about fixing what’s broken, it’s about discovering what’s possible.
KNOW
Insight tells you where you are. It doesn't move you.
See the pattern clearly: where it came from, what it's protecting you from, why it made sense.
FEEL
The brain can explain, the body can release.
Drop below the narrative into what's actually happening in your body, right now, as it's happening.
DO
A different experience is what updates old learning.
Try on a different truth while the old learning is still alive in the room — not after, in theory, but now, while it counts.
Clinical Therapy & Experiential Facilitation
In Clinical Therapy, we address specific mental health concerns you're facing. As a licensed therapist, I provide a safe space to explore your experiences and develop coping strategies.
We may use evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindful and somatic practices, and parts-work to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create lasting change.
Clinical Therapy is ideal if you're dealing with a diagnosable mental health condition or need professional support during a challenging time.
In Experiential Facilitation, we collaboratively explore your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and ways of being to facilitate personal growth and transformation.
Through conversation, visualization, and somatic techniques, we'll illuminate patterns shaping your reality and create space for new insights and possibilities.
Experiential Facilitation is perfect if you're seeking an open-ended, exploratory approach to personal growth, especially if you feel stuck or disconnected from your purpose.
Choosing between Clinical Therapy and Experiential Facilitation depends on your needs and goals:
Struggling with a specific mental health concern? → Clinical Therapy
Seeking open-ended exploration for personal growth? → Experiential Facilitation
Prefer a licensed mental health professional? → Clinical Therapy
Comfortable with an experiential, embodied approach? → Experiential Facilitation
Desire to work on a diagnosable mental health issue? → Clinical Therapy
Both tracks offer profound insight, healing, and integration. If you're unsure, book a consultation to discuss your situation and determine the best approach.
Guided by a skilled practitioner, held by a human
I’m a scientist and a mystic, an analyzer and an artist. I bring my liberal arts mind and curious soul to every session, because I believe showing up as you are - the contradictions, the experiences, the “is-ness” of you — is what’s required to facilitate real change. My approach is grounded in the latest research in clinical psycho-neurology, but it’s also deeply intuitive — because you’re not a formula, you’re a human.
Common Questions
-
Guided Experiential Coaching Sessions can be helpful for working on, or through, a specific issue. Sessions are more directive and growth oriented. This work is also different than therapy as it does not address a mental health symptom or diagnosis. I do not diagnose or treat any mental health disorders when facilitating guided sessions.
On the other hand, therapy offers an opportunity to address the causes and effects of mental health struggles with the expressed purpose of healing & improving current symptoms. Diagnosis and /or treatment of mental health disorders can be included in this process.

Many therapies and coaching focus primarily on talking about experiences or problem solving for them.
Experiential work creates opportunities to have new experiences in the present moment.
Rather than simply understanding patterns, we explore them as they emerge—in emotions, relationships, the body, imagination, and awareness—creating opportunities for new learning and lasting change.

I deeply value this work and honor the skill & capacity needed to create a safe and nourishing space for my clients. For this reason, I do not take-on many clients in order to maintain the integrity of our work together.
I will remember the names of your loved ones. I will want to see pictures of your baby or fur-baby. I will be genuinely curious to bear witness to all you have to express.
Session costs are reflective of this care. Please inquire by reaching out on via the contact form.
And because I also believe in the importance of accessibility to this work, sliding scale options are available depending on need and availability.

I am considered “out of network” with insurance companies, which means that all services are paid out of pocket.
Your insurance may cover services for out-of-network providers.
I am partnered with a service that can check your estimated insurance coverage for therapy with me. Please use the following link: https://mentaya.com/checkbenefits/9EVAt7RYEIeUI1Kgz3fz
You can also contact your insurance company directly to access information regarding your mental health benefits. If your health insurance agrees to reimburse you for your sessions, you will pay for services directly and I will provide you with a monthly Superbill that you can submit for reimbursement.
Reimbursement rates will depend on your plan/provider.
