Intuitive Coach | Psychic Medium
I empower women to transform their lives and step into their highest, most authentic selves.
My Philosophy
I believe that clarity and transformation happen when we learn to listen more deeply—to our intuition, our bodies, and the patterns that shape our choices. Many women I work with already know what they want at a deeper level, but struggle with doubt, fear, or internal conflict that makes it hard to act on that knowing. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner clarity, release what’s no longer serving you, and take steps forward that feel aligned, grounded, and true to who you are.
About ME
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have spent years supporting individuals through healing, growth, and life transitions. My professional experience spans outpatient therapy, private practice, school-based treatment, residential and virtual residential treatment, in-home services, care coordination, collaboration with hospital and emergency services, and sexual assault crisis support. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses shape the way we think, feel, and move through life.
Today, I bring that foundation into a separate, non-clinical coaching practice that integrates intuitive guidance and somatic healing to support women in reconnecting with themselves, gaining clarity, and creating meaningful, lasting change. My passion is helping women move beyond self-doubt, release patterns that keep them stuck, and trust themselves deeply enough to make courageous, aligned choices. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, recovering from a difficult relationship, or feeling called to become a more authentic version of yourself, this work is designed to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and create a life that feels fulfilling, empowered, and true to who you are.
As a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner with advanced training in Brainspotting, I have witnessed the profound impact that body-based healing can have on emotional well-being, self-trust, and personal transformation. Brainspotting is a gentle, trauma-informed approach that honors your own pace and innate capacity for healing. By working with the nervous system and the body's natural wisdom, it can help release emotional blocks, reduce overwhelm, increase regulation, and create space for deeper clarity and resilience.
My approach is both trauma-informed and attachment-aware, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences with greater compassion, safety, and self-understanding. While my work is no longer offered as psychotherapy, Brainspotting is offered as it's own service and my clinical training continues to inform the way I hold space for growth, healing, and meaningful change.

Intuitive Coaching & Psychic Mediumship
I am an intuitive coach and psychic medium offering in-person sessions in Scarborough, Maine, and virtual sessions for clients worldwide who are seeking clarity, healing, personal growth, and a deeper connection to themselves and the spiritual dimension of life.
My approach is compassionate, grounded, and deeply client-centered. Whether through intuitive guidance, psychic mediumship, or somatic awareness, my intention is to meet each person exactly where they are and provide insights that can be meaningfully received, integrated, and applied to their life. Sessions are interactive and conversational, creating space not only for insight but also for reflection, self-discovery, and aligned action.
I may receive information through images, emotions, symbols, words, physical sensations, or intuitive knowing. My role is to channel and communicate the messages that come through with compassion, clarity, and integrity while helping clients understand how those messages can support them in trusting themselves and moving forward with greater confidence and alignment.
At the heart of my work is the belief that you already possess deep wisdom within you. My role is not to tell you who to be or what to do, but to help you access the insight, understanding, and confidence needed to trust yourself more fully. Often, clients leave sessions feeling validated in what they already know at a deeper level, while also gaining a fresh perspective that helps them move forward with greater certainty and self-trust.
When mediumship arises, it is approached with the same intention: to provide meaningful connection, healing, validation, and support. These experiences can be profoundly moving, offering comfort, perspective, and a deeper sense of connection to life beyond what we can see.
I believe true transformation happens when insight is paired with action. Sessions are not intended to provide simple predictions or temporary reassurance, but to support lasting growth, deeper self-understanding, and greater alignment with your authentic self. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, healing from past experiences, recovering or navigating a challenging relationship, seeking direction, or feeling called toward something more, my hope is that you leave each session feeling clearer, more empowered, and more connected to your own inner wisdom.
My greatest intention is to help you trust yourself, embrace your path with confidence, and move forward as the fullest expression of who you are meant to be.
How we work together…

My approach blends intuitive insight with somatic healing and trauma-informed understanding of the nervous system, creating a supportive space for reflection, clarity, and meaningful change.
A Note About My Services
I provide coaching services in a non-clinical capacity focused on personal growth, self-awareness, and intuitive development.
While I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am not providing psychotherapy, mental health treatment, diagnosis, or clinical services within this coaching relationship or within Brainspotting sessions.
Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or crisis support. Brainspotting services are a wonderful, supportive supplement to talk therapy, but are also not substitute a for ongoing therapy, medical care, or crisis support. If you are in need of clinical mental health services, I encourage you to seek support from a licensed provider in your area.
