People arrive here by many paths.
Some are seeking deeper self-understanding. Some are moving through a hard life passage, a personal crossroads, or a time when the old answers no longer work. Some are drawn to shadow work, sacred sexuality, the goddess Hekate, liminal spaces, or the hidden patterns that shape the way we think, feel, love, and live.
This website is a home for that kind of searching.
For more than two decades, my work has centered on healing, self-knowledge, emotional truth, body awareness, sacred sexuality, and the deeper layers of human transformation. Much of my earlier writing focused on safe sexual healing, trauma recovery, somatic ethics, and the restoration of sexual wholeness. That foundation remains important. It taught me how tender the healing path can be, how much care real change requires, and how deeply the body remembers what the mind may try to move past too quickly.
In recent years, my work has moved more strongly toward threshold guidance: the inner work that happens when a person stands between an old life and a new one. These are the passages where identity, belief, relationship patterns, grief, desire, fear, and longing may all rise to the surface. In mythic language, this is crossroads work. It is the work of the liminal space, the shadow, and the Void.
I use those words with care.
The Void is not simply emptiness. It is the quiet, uncertain space where the old structure has dissolved and the new one has not yet taken form. Shadow work is not about shame. It is the process of bringing hidden material into awareness so it can be met, understood, healed, and integrated. The crossroads are not only symbols. They are real moments in a human life when a person must pause, listen deeply, and choose the next step with greater honesty.
My purpose is to help people meet those passages with steadiness, courage, and compassion.
Background
My work has long been rooted in helping people heal from emotional and sexual trauma, understand recurring relationship patterns, and reclaim a more whole connection with their body, heart, and inner life.
Over time, this work has grown into a broader exploration of what happens beneath the surface of thought, belief, behavior, and emotional reaction. Much of what we struggle with is not random. It often comes from old wounds, inherited beliefs, protective habits, unmet needs, and shadow material that has not yet been brought into conscious awareness.
This website gathers writings, teachings, reflections, and resources from the past twenty years. I am currently restoring and archiving many of those older articles so they can be available again in a clear and useful form. Some of these writings focus on safe sexual healing, sacred sexuality, somatic awareness, and trauma recovery. Others move into shadow work, liminal experience, inner transition, esoteric inquiry, and the deeper mystery of becoming more fully oneself.
My current direction draws more openly from the symbolism of thresholds, crossroads, and the torch-lit path through uncertainty. Hekate has become an important presence in this work, not as a religious demand placed on the reader, but as a mythic and spiritual guide to the places where clarity is born in darkness.

Biography
My path into this work began through my own need for healing.
In 2001, after the end of a twenty-year marriage and a major break from the conservative religious world I had known for much of my adult life, I entered a period of deep questioning. I was trying to understand my own emotional wounds, my patterns, my grief, and the hidden forces that had shaped my life.
Counseling helped. So did study, self-inquiry, and the slow work of learning to feel what I had once pushed away. That period became a turning point. It opened the door to a much wider search for healing, meaning, embodiment, and spiritual truth.
During that time, I was introduced to the esoteric science of Tantra. I quickly connected with the breath practices, subtle energy exercises, and body-based awareness at the heart of the work. I discovered that I had a natural sensitivity to chi, prana, and the energetic dimensions of healing. What began as personal practice soon became a path of study, training, and service.
In 2007, after completing private training with my teacher Carla Tara through the Ohana School of Tantra, I was certified as a Tantric Healer. From there, my work continued to grow through the study of body psychology, emotional trauma, subtle energy, somatic awareness, sacred sexuality, and the healing of shame, fear, and disconnection.
My book, Safe Sexual Healing: A Guidebook for Healers and Clients, grew out of that long period of work. It reflects my concern for ethics, clarity, consent, safety, and emotional maturity in the field of sexual healing. Those values still guide me.
The counseling and coaching work I offer today is a whole-person approach to healing and personal growth. It includes emotional intelligence, mindfulness, self-honesty, body-mind-heart integration, sexual wellbeing, spiritual inquiry, and the deeper work of becoming more conscious.
At this stage of my life and work, I am especially drawn to the passages of transformation that do not come with easy answers. The personal crossroads. The dark threshold. The space between endings and beginnings. The place where a person must listen more deeply than before.
That is where much of my current writing and guidance now lives.
