I work with people who are in the middle of becoming someone they don't yet fully recognize.
I spent years doing the work that most people do — therapy, coaching, reading, reflecting. I understood myself well. I could trace the patterns back to their origins. I could name the beliefs that were running me. And still, the patterns persisted.
What I eventually discovered is that understanding something and being free of it are not the same thing. The parts of us that hold old experiences, old beliefs, old ways of protecting ourselves — they don't respond to insight. They respond to something more direct.
That discovery led me to Process Healing — a method developed by Dr. Gary Flint, a clinical psychologist who spent decades researching how the brain processes and stores emotional experience. I trained in this method and eventually developed the Higher Self Method® as a way of bringing this work to the people I serve.
I work with women and men who are navigating transitions, persistent patterns, relationship dynamics, and the quiet sense that something is ready to shift. My work is not a program. It is a relationship — built around what you are actually navigating, and it continues for as long as it is useful.
The change you're looking for isn't in understanding more. It's in remembering what you already are.
I don't work from a curriculum. I don't have a program with a fixed number of sessions or a predetermined arc. What I have is a method — and a commitment to working with what is actually present.
The work is quiet. It is precise. It does not require you to relive the past or process it through narrative. It works with the nervous system directly — gently, and without force.
People often describe the experience as a settling — a softening, a sense of something releasing that they didn't know they were holding. The change tends to be felt rather than explained.
Grounded in rigorous method.
