ABOUT
Welcome, I’m Jodie
I work with people at turning points—moments when life no longer works the way it once did.
Relationship shifts, identity changes, career reckonings, health challenges or the loss of the life you imagined for yourself.
These times can feel disorienting, vulnerable, frustrating, yet they tend to soften our heart. Although we’d never choose them, often they are where real transformation begins.
I think of this territory as a crossing. A place where familiar life structures fall away and something truer is trying to emerge.
My work is about helping you move through that passage with honesty, support, and care to find your new life on the other side, one with more of your wholeness, your voice, your authentic self.
I hold space for the sacred work of change - for people ready to live grounded in love, connection, vitality, and Spirit—fully embodied in the modern world.
The Territory I Know
I’ve lived through many transitions: a divorce in my mid-30s, starting a business that nearly failed, loving someone with an addiction, receiving an autoimmune diagnosis at midlife.
I’ve been single, partnered, married, divorced, dating, and back again.
I’ve woken up in panic about dying alone.
I’ve texted the ex when I shouldn’t have.
I’ve had days where I’ve run a staff meeting, then collapsed in tears in the bathroom stall.
I’ve taken too much responsibility. I’ve tried to fix other people’s problems so I could feel safe again.
There’ve been moments when I’ve thought it would be a relief not to be alive—I’ve been on my knees, asking Spirit to show me the way forward.
Some of these moments came from my own choices. Some arrived uninvited.
What I can tell you is that each time has been a shattering, equal parts terrifying, messy, and magical, while somehow keeping life support systems functioning.
And, with help, something meaningful always emerged on the other side—greater wisdom, joy, purpose, deeper presence, and a clearer connection to the life I was actually living.
I’m not a Zen master of life transitions: I suffer during these times just like you. And, we can walk together through them to discover what is next for your life.
Psychedelic work has been one of the ways I’ve learned to meet these thresholds—helping me soften automatic patterns, stay present with what felt unbearable, find more of my voice, and access a deeper love in myself and in Spirit when my mind could not lead the way.
What I’ve Learned—and What I Offer
Through lived experience, therapy, and years of inner work, I’ve learned how to trust myself when facing big life decisions.
I know how to listen to body–heart wisdom, even when it’s terrifying. I know how to work with an activated nervous system rather than be overtaken by it.
I’ve learned when to protect my mind from other people’s opinions, and when to invite support.
I know which anxious thoughts to ignore—and which ones are asking for attention. I know how to move through disappointment without collapsing into self-blame or regret.
I know how to tolerate difficult inner states long enough for clarity to emerge. And I know how to leave something—even when it breaks your own heart.
As a human and as a therapist, I’ve got some mad skills for navigating difficult times.
This is the ground I stand on as a therapist and guide.
How I work
Some challenges come unasked for, others are chosen in service of growth—but no life is without struggle.
Therapy with me is a space where we touch the depths of this terrain together to make growth of it, without getting lost.
Often, the work includes healing attachment wounds, meeting limiting beliefs, and facing parts of ourselves we’ve learned to reject. And, if you’re willing, this is how a new, soul-led life begins to emerge.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Professional Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and am a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT #80125).
My clinical training includes Jungian psychology, IFS, Hakomi, relational psychoanalytic therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and somatic approaches to healing trauma.
I’m a Minister and Ceremonial Facilitator with Congregation for Sacred Practices, an organization offering healing and spiritual guidance to those on the awakening path.
I’ve also been a student of personal growth and consciousness work for over 25 years, including deep immersions in expressive arts, Buddhist meditation, shamanic drum journey, vision fasts, and psychedelic plant medicine work. These lineages inform my work, always held within ethical, relational care.
