I want to be your guide back to yourself.
As a child growing up in New York City in the 70s and 80s, I dreamt of living a life of excitement and glamour.
I was drawn to all things mystical and sparkly. I was sensitive and intuitive, often the confidante of the adults around me.
As a teen, I struggled with self-esteem and belonging, seeking my identity in music and subculture. My 20s were spent drifting from job to job, feeling unfulfilled, exploring Tarot, astrology, and esoterica by day and dancing in goth clubs by night.
Approaching my 30th birthday, I felt immense pressure to “do something” productive with my life.
As a lifelong listener, becoming a therapist felt like the next logical step. I earned my Masters in Social Work in 2000 and worked with the chronically mentally ill for many years. While I loved that work, I didn’t quite fit into the traditional world of psychiatry.
Putting myself through grad school by reading Tarot and moonlighting in nightclubs, I discovered the vibrant neo-burlesque scene at 38. Performing opened up a new world where older women are celebrated. Witnessing performers, some 80+, rock the Las Vegas stage at the annual Burlesque Hall Of Fame Legends Showcase was transformative, helping me embrace my changing body and maintain my vibrancy into midlife.
By my mid-40s, The Listener, The Intuitive, and The Showgirl within me felt conflicted. The stress of seeming “too weird” at a straight-laced day job took its toll. I longed to integrate my talents, knowing my creativity and intuition made me a better therapist.
So, I decided to be true to myself and work with clients using the full spectrum of my skills.
And guess what? It works.
Coaches are everywhere. So why work with me?
I’m an artist, a healer, a punk rock GenX-er, and former part-time showgirl who never thought I’d be middle-aged.
I use “new age” tools but stay grounded.
I channel but drop plenty of F bombs.
I’m compassionate but find humor in the darkest moments.
I’m a serious, experienced clinician with 20+ years of experience, but we’re going to have plenty of fun.
I co-created Fearless Over Forty, a multimedia project celebrating women in midlife, and was on the forefront of celebrating Gen X aging over a decade ago!
I’m a tarot reader, astrologer, EFT practitioner, trained therapist, and divine channel and I use my entire skill set with my clients.
I infuse each day with magic and integrate it into daily life. If you’re curious, I’ll help you do that too.
Practicing what some call magic helps me connect to my desires, dreams, and others. We will use this magic to open your life to possibilities you haven’t thought of yet.
Midlife is a time to reflect, reboot, rethink, and reshape your life. You get to choose what’s next. And that is exciting!
Curious? Check out my offerings!
I’m looking forward to working with you
