Earth 𓇬 Body 𓇬 Spirit 𓇬 Psyche

An Invitation

The Inner Garden is a center for psychotherapy and healing arts. A space to commune with your inner world through creative ritual, eco-therapy & earth-based wisdom traditions, somatic expressive arts and integral healing. Together, we weave the realms of Earth, Body, Spirit & Psyche with depth psychotherapy & clinical counseling.

At times, we've all struggled with feelings of unworthiness, isolation, fear, grief and disconnection. It may be from the life you’ve created, relationships you’ve chosen, secret desires you’ve rejected, or parts of yourself that you have abandoned to please others. My clients are people who are searching for their authentic voice, yearn to reconnect to their intuition and ancestral wisdom, and create a sense of home in their bodies and lives. But, there are times when you may have found yourself on the outside looking in, and no longer able to see yourself reflected in the world around you.

I offer a loving space to explore the unconscious lands of your feelings and choices, examine the invisible patterns that have influenced your life, while using creative tools & ritual to cultivate connection, self awareness and empowerment, choose your next steps with clarity and live your life with freedom.

As a Somatic Expressive Arts Therapist & Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, AMFT 129203, the seeds of my work are rooted in my life as an artist, storyteller, musician , farmer, gardener and apprentice to life’s Mysteries. My offerings are woven from the threads of Afro-Indigenous wisdom traditions in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as Jungian and depth psychology. I integrate art making, earth based ritual and eco-therapy, myth & storytelling, movement & dance, Tarot, somatic exploration & dreamwork as pathways for healing and doorways to the wild unconscious.

I specialize in using intuitive, earth and arts-based approaches to guide clients throughs experiences of anxiety, depression, individual & generational trauma, codependency, developing intuition & discernment, healing from narcissistic abuse, reparenting & inner child development, spiritual awakenings, artistic blocks, life transitions, grief & loss, self-regulation and self-esteem, while using creative rituals to help give shape to feelings not easily expressed in words.
