The first step is to book a free curiosity call with me. Let's explore partnering together. It is a friendly, no-pressure introductory conversation where I share my approach and you share what you're seeking support around. If time allows, we can also dive into some work together so you can get a feel for what you can expect from our sessions.

These calls are 30 minutes.

If we decide to partner together, we will find a weekly or bi-weekly day & time that works for our schedules and get started.

Self-leadership is about connecting with your inner wisdom and navigating life from a place of clarity, calm, and confidence. It means being in conscious relationship with all parts of yourself—honoring their perspectives while making choices from a centered, grounded place. From this space, you can respond to life with intention, stay aligned with your authenticity, and follow your own North Star—so your choices reflect who you truly are.

Self-compassion releases you from the constant pressure to fix, fight, or hide parts of yourself. In parts work, freedom comes when your parts feel seen, cared for, and accepted, rather than judged, pushed away, or positioned to be fixed. As you bring compassion to your inner world, the weight of self-criticism begins to lift, and you no longer have to struggle against yourself. This allows your natural presence — calm, curious, and wise — to lead, opening space for choices and possibilities that once felt out of reach.

I am based in Portland, Oregon, and support clients of all ages locally and around the world. I work with most of my clients on the phone or on video, and also offer a voice note support option for established clients. I do work with a few clients in person in Portland, and hope to offer sessions alongside donkeys in the future.

I believe there’s real value in meeting weekly or bi-weekly for at least 2–3 months to build a strong foundation. My intention is that through our time together, you’ll develop a trusting, compassionate relationship with your inner world — one where you feel more and more confident navigating what arises from a place of Self-leadership. After a few months, we can check in to see whether your system could still benefit from regular support or if you feel ready to continue your practice more independently. You can't get it wrong! Once you're ready to navigate more independently, you can always return if something feels too big to hold alone.

My current rate is $88 per 60-minute session.

It is important to me that this work is accessible to as many people as possible. If you're not in the financial position to pay my rate, please email me at youarewiseinside@gmail.com and we can discuss options.

Through my own journey with this work, I’ve experienced profound shifts that continue to ripple into every area of my life. For example:

• I now trust that healthy relationships—romantic or otherwise—don’t require me to prove my worth or earn love. I can be fully myself and let alignment unfold with ease.
  

• I no longer feel the urge to rush in to fix other people’s struggles, which allows me to stay more grounded and present. I deeply believe they are on the exact right journey for them, and I, for me. In this vein, codependent patterns have relaxed—I honor others’ ability to walk their own paths, while releasing the need to be needed to feel valuable.
  

• I’ve learned how to validate myself, rather than relying on others’ agreement or approval to feel secure.
  

• Instead of reacting quickly, I am much more likely to pause, check in with my system, and choose next steps that feel aligned with my values and needs.
  

• I approach people with the belief that they are kind and good, rather than anticipating criticism or rejection.
  

• My inner critics and perfectionist part have significantly softened, allowing me to experience more internal ease and acceptance.
  

• My people pleasing part has softened, and I’m far more comfortable saying 'no' when something doesn't feel aligned (aka feels like a "should" or that it will be depleting to my system), setting boundaries and expressing my needs.
  

• Decision-making feels lighter; I can more easily make choices that meet my needs without being paralyzed by self-doubt or lack of trust for my own internal wisdom.
  

• I’ve developed the ability to experience gratitude without fear of losing what I'm grateful for—trusting that even when change comes, I have what I need to meet it with resilience.

These shifts not only bring more ease and joy to my own life but also deepen the way I hold space for my clients, modeling what becomes possible when we approach ourselves with curiosity and compassion.
