Ancient Practices Elevate Your Journey, while Returning You Home
​
Movement+Mind+Mysticism+Nature
​
These programs are educational in nature and do not constitute psychotherapy or a therapeutic relationship.
​
These offerings are designed to increase cultural competence and meaningful integration across both the professional mental health community and the broader community of magick, earth-based spirituality, and Pagan practitioners. Through inclusive, ethically-informed learning environments, participants are invited to explore the intersection of modern psychotherapy and ancient healing practices.
​
These programs seek to increase cultural competence and integration, within both the professional Mental Heath community & the Earth-based spirituality/Pagan practitioner communities, by offering inclusive, ethically-informed learning opportunities. **Blended, inclusive groups for all healers, practitioners and community members include: MYSTICISM and mental health courses; Integrative MOVEMENT classes; and NATURE-based Retreats & Consultation Groups. These spaces are intentionally designed to welcome diverse perspectives and support both personal and professional development for healers, practitioners, and community members.
As well as, working with other community providers that host studio spaces, Magic Path Teaching also offers hosting for other community building activities. The desire is for mental health professionals and other providers to increase earth-based spirituality cultural competence, as well as offer more holistic mental health education programs. Essentially to bridge the gap between Modern Science and Ancient Healing Arts... this is the heart & soul of the psychotherapy I enjoy practicing, the teaching I thrive from engaging in, and clinical supervision I always learn from providing.
​
**Continuing Education (CE) Information
Continuing education (CE) credits are offered for select programs and are clearly identified on each course landing page, including the number of CE hours awarded. These programs are designed for licensed mental health professionals and are also open to community and spiritual care providers who wish to engage in the material.
In accordance with National Board for Certified Counselors requirements, CE credit is awarded only to participants who meet eligibility criteria. Participants who do not qualify for CE credit are fully welcome to attend and engage in the educational experience without the awarding of CE credit or certificate.

Instead of transcending ourselves, we must move into ourselves...
A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion, burns away what is no longer relevant, gradually reveals our essence, until, at last, we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth.

Licensed in Alaska by the Board of Professional Counselors to provide mental health therapy. Licensed to provide Clinical Supervision to LPC Interns in Alaska and online. I completed my Masters degree in Counseling-Psychology and worked in community mental health organizations with children, teens and adults, until 8 years ago when I began private practice. Over 12 years specialized in holistic mental health for Trauma & Abuse, Addiction, ADHD, Early Childhood Mental Health (including pregnancy, pre-, post-natal), Personal Growth & Transitions- with extensive experience and training in Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Existentialism.
I utilize my lifetime passions for embodied movement (belly dance, aerial, yoga, other dance), art, mythology, lore, literature, music, nature, theater, ancient healing arts and symbolic languages of Hermetics, magick, astrology, tarot. My deep commitment is to integrate science and art within my life- in my personal practice, work and within my community. I would love to also provide mental health professionals and magick practitioners integrative learning environments, where more competent healing approaches may grow. I love humans and the varieted of ways we think, feel, inspire and behave. Part of loving us includes the light and the shadow of us. I am naturally curious, open, and honest. I have bias and so do you, so I like us both to be transparent about our biases to illicit more choice for us both. I have specialty interest in the lost mysticism of Celtic, Viking, Nordic and many other Pagan cultures. And, I really enjoy understanding all spiritual systems and the way we are all connect and how we vary. I often rely on the major Arcana, my direct links within me, sacred Divinity, and any ancient cultural scriptures that survived our ancestors' ego battles. I proudly serve military families, as I believe the burden and honor most of these warriors carry protect and serve our many freedoms. I do not believe in striving toward permanent states of peace on this Earth journey, but I do believe in cultivating then appreciating greatly any moments in time that our communities and/or our bodies, minds and spirits may enjoy states of peace. Many of us serve as bridges between the many polarities that exist in this world; I imagine exciting this even further...
