Magick Path Learning seeks to increase competence within both the Mental Heath professional and the Magick/Earth-based spirituality/Pagan practitioner communities by offering integrative learning opportunities: Classes with Continuing Education (CEs) credits, blended Consultation Groups, and Nature-based Retreats. As well as, hosting other community building activities for professionals, practitioners and other providers to increase cultural and holistic mental health competence, but also to bridge the gap between Modern Science and Ancient Healing Arts... the heart of the psychotherapy, teaching and clinical supervision I practice:
​
-Interweaving foundations in evidence-based mental health practices of Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems/parts work, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Jungian and Narrative therapy. WITH:
-Magick practices, old, down-to-earth, simple and natural
-Hermetic Principles (Especially Polarity & Gender within the body, mind, spirit and nature).
-Using Archetype & Visual Symbolism in Cards (including Oracle and Tarot)
-The Language of Astrology-systems to understanding self and purpose
-Energy Exploration & Ritual use
-Sensual Attunement & Movement
-Ancient Feminine Healing & Cultural perspectives
-Appreciation of Masculine Healing & Culture (with Masculine guest presenters)
-Pagan Cultural Competency with Mental Health Treatment
-Hosting Celebration & Gatherings
-Retreats: Connecting with the deepest of Nature's ingredients within us and with'out' us.
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 7 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, 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 and work practice, while providing mental health professionals and magick practitioners integrative learning environments, in order to facilitate more competent healing approaches for our communities. I love humans and the varieties of the ways we think, feel, inspire and behave. Part of loving them includes the light and the shadow of us. I am naturally curious, open, and honest. I have specialty interest in Viking, Nordic and Pagan cultures. I also proudly serve military families. My Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology & Literature reflects my overall perspective pretty well. Over 2 decades working with people with developmental and mental health challenges. Also certified as a counselor by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), Certificate in Integrative Nutritional Medicine and Sensual Movement & Dance.
