Finding Clarity
If you’re looking for clarity, healing, direction, or a fresh perspective, you’ve come to the right place.
Life can be complex, often leaving us searching for deeper meaning beyond the daily routine. Together, we can explore personal growth and move beyond old patterns to uncover new dimensions of our experience.
Our individual inner worlds hold valuable insights into our thoughts, emotions, and our connection to the broader world. With guidance, we can use this information to gain clarity and understand how to make meaningful changes in our lives.

Core Values
The essence of my approach is anchored in five core values: compassion, integrity, curiosity, generosity, and inclusivity. Compassion guides me to offer empathy and create a nurturing space for growth. Integrity means staying authentic and respectful in all interactions. Curiosity drives me to seek new perspectives and encourage exploration. Generosity reflects my commitment to sharing resources and support. Inclusivity ensures everyone feels respected and valued, celebrating diversity. These values shape my practice, and foster a supportive and enriching experience for everyone.

The human experience includes both pain and beauty. Having someone who sees and hears us with compassion is essential. We all benefit from being witnessed in our struggles and our strengths, as it helps us feel understood and supported.
-
Integrity means staying true to yourself and acting with honesty and courage. When you’re not aligned with your truth, your body will often signal it through discomfort or stress. Similarly, when you’re out of alignment, you might notice more challenges in your external life. True well-being comes from listening to these signals and living in accordance with your core values.
-
Approaching life with curiosity, playfulness, and spontaneity can lead to a greater sense of ease and joy. By staying open and exploring new experiences, you’ll naturally discover a deeper sense of fulfillment.
-
Generosity involves being open-hearted and willing to give freely. When you give with an open heart, you also create space to receive in return. I view generosity as a remedy for fear and scarcity, reinforcing the belief that there is plenty for everyone when we share openly. I strive to embrace this principle by offering my time, energy, ideas, and resources fully, and welcoming the same in return.
-
Life is all-encompassing, whether we notice it or not. Every breath we take is shared with others, from people to nature. Embracing inclusivity means recognizing our connection to all aspects of life and appreciating the value and beauty in everyone and everything.
Background & Inspiration
The rainy woods of east Texas were my first playground. My siblings and I spent our days running through the tall pines, playing house, riding bikes past barking dogs, mooing at the neighbor’s cows, and pressing our ears to the train tracks to feel the distant rumble. Those were the barefoot, wild, and free days—of playing in the rain, daydreaming, whispering to feral cats, climbing swing sets, and dodging fire ants. We followed wherever our curiosity and imagination led us.
Reconnecting with this sense of wonder, imagination, and creativity is essential for unlocking our true vibrance. When we meet life with curiosity, we find a playfulness that naturally invites new possibilities to unfold. This playfulness allows us to explore life without rigid expectations, to embrace the unknown with trust, and to see challenges as opportunities for growth. In this space, we realize that the answers we’ve been searching for are often already within us—waiting to be rediscovered through curiosity and a willingness to explore the paths less traveled.
Cultural Values
At Wayfinder, the focus is on moving beyond colonial paradigms within cross-cultural psychological and spiritual practices. Cultural appropriation is approached with respect and reverence for indigenous traditions.
Somatic and spiritual practices are rooted in a connection with nature, neuroscience, consciousness research, and informed by ancient teachings from various cultural traditions. This wisdom is adapted to fit the cultural context, aiming to facilitate spiritual and psychological growth in the Western world.
Acknowledging privilege and working to dismantle systems of cultural oppression is essential. Wisdom from marginalized indigenous groups is honored and elevated.
Wayfinder resonates with Resmaa Menakem’s My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies to enhance understanding of inclusivity and trauma, addressing systemic, cultural, and generational aspects.
Sliding scale options are available for those facing financial hardship, with a commitment to making personal growth accessible to all. Questions, reflections, and suggestions are welcomed as efforts continue to invest in these values.
