maybe there is nothing wrong with you,
maybe it is just really difficult to exist
in a system that was not designed to support a spirit like yours.

  • As the Buddhist teachings suggest, love and compassion are the only wise responses to the neuroses of mind. In my practice, we turn inward with kind eyes and a soft touch. Through loving awareness, we can make sacred the terrain that was once terrifying. Together, we remember how to keep our hearts open to what we don’t want to see; to trust that the pain being experienced needs to be explored so that it can be released and transformed.

    Rather than indulging the pattern of rejecting and running from our pain, I hold the field of compassion (the courage to be with the suffering without becoming it) and over time guide you to be that steady, warm presence for yourself.

  • Whatever brings us to the grounds of healing is sacred terrain and deserves to be named as such. How we approach something changes what is approached. My commitment is to be a light on your path home to, and through, yourself.

    Our time together is a process of remembrance and reclamation of the wisdom, love and clarity already within you. In addition to psychological and emotional processing, I weave in breath, meditation, sound healing and somatic awareness. The container is intuitive and multidimensional; one where you are never beholden to you have been, and are forever held in the possibility of who you are becoming.

  • Rather than orienting to experiences of depression, anxiety and addiction as illnesses that one must learn to forever live with, we can also see them as symptoms — temporary, albeit painful, messengers carrying important information about the state of our inner and outer worlds.

    Re-naming what are typically called mental illnesses as symptoms can create space to see them as indicators of dis-ease rather than diseases in and of themselves. This does not minimize the pain, but creates a different way to be in relationship with it.

    Our work is to welcome, to listen and to be with these symptoms long enough to understand the medicine they need— long enough to receive the teachings they bring.

  • I view well-being of mind as intrinsically related to well-being of body, heart, spirit, community, society and ecology. My work honors the confluence of internal dimensions (mental, emotional, vibrational & somatic) and external dimensions (familial, generational, societal, ecological & spiritual).

    Mainstream mental health narratives are disproportionately individualized and ignore broader, systemic influences. What we have been taught to call “mental illness” are often actually wise and protective responses to a very imbalanced and immature society. In addition to exploring the ongoing conversations between mind, body, heart and soul, my practice also addresses the impacts of generational trauma, societal oppression, colonial capitalism and ecological collapse.

foundations of my practice

e t h o s

I believe deeply in the possibility of healing– with no symptom, nor person excluded from this innate process that wants to happen in and through us.  That which brings us to the grounds of healing is sacred terrain and deserves to be named as such.  How we approach something changes what is approached.  I place my trust in the alchemy of loving awareness; in the transformation that arises from the soul’s courage to turn towards the very places the ego habitually turns away from.  Each person’s pain longs to be witnessed; to be held, heard, seen and tended. This pain never belongs to just one person; but is a combination of individual, generational, societal and ancestral wounds waiting to be transformed in service of self, lineage and humanity. We always have a choice: to create solidity and identity around our pain, or to accept our pain as a portal, so it does not become a prison. This lifetime-at-least long path will undoubtedly be different than imagined, the messages will take time to translate, but the call to embody what you came here to be will, eventually and always, be answered. One day, you will arrive at the space and grace on the other side.

  • “after 20 years of traditional therapy with minimal change, switching to working with evie has created a seismic shift not only in my mental health but in how I operate in the world moment to moment. evie gently guides you towards change by reminding you that you already know the answers and that you are not a problem to be fixed. I used to dread therapy, now I look forward to it. evie has profoundly changed my life, I am forever grateful.”
