 At WILD Essence Therapy, the mission is to un-domesticate and decolonize the therapeutic space—reclaiming it as a place of reconnection: to the body, to the earth, and to one’s deeper self.

 At WILD Essence Therapy, the mission is to un-domesticate and decolonize the therapeutic space—reclaiming it as a place of reconnection: to the body, to the earth, and to one’s deeper self. Therapy here is not about fixing what's broken, but about remembering what’s been buried. WILD Essence holds space for clients to explore what it means to live in right relationship—with their nervous systems, with their communities, and with a world that often forgets how to listen. Rooted in care, not compliance, this practice believes therapy should be accessible, inclusive, and offered without the expectation that anyone must earn their way into support.

Mission Statement

 My approach is rooted in relationship, rhythm, and deep respect. I hold space for you to arrive exactly as you are—unmasked, in process, uncertain, or undone.

 My approach is rooted in relationship, rhythm, and deep respect. I hold space for you to arrive exactly as you are—unmasked, in process, uncertain, or undone. From that place of truth, we co-create a path forward. I work from a holistic, integrative framework that blends evidence-based practices with transpersonal tools that honor the mind, body, nervous system, and spirit. I'm not a blank slate therapist—I show up as a real human, with warmth, presence, and a willingness to gently name what’s no longer working. Sometimes that means sitting with grief; sometimes it means calling you in—with grounded honesty and care.  My approach is non-pathologizing and rooted in the belief that your lived experience is valid, wise, and worthy of care that meets you where you are—not where the world expects you to be.

  I’m a neurodivergent and neurodiversity-affirming therapist passionate about supporting women and LGBTQ+ individuals—especially those with ADHD, AuDHD, or a late-in-life diagnosis/Discovery.

  I’m a neurodivergent and neurodiversity-affirming therapist passionate about supporting women and LGBTQ+ individuals—especially those with ADHD, AuDHD, or a late-in-life diagnosis/Discovery. I hold space for the lived realities of masking, burnout, RSD, PDA, sensory overwhelm, and the grief of not being fully seen. My work is trauma-informed and non-pathologizing, blending EMDR, somatic practices, parts work, attachment work, nature-based and experiential approaches, and undomesticated therapy. I specialize in ADHD, AuDHD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationships, and women’s issues.

Land Acknowledgment

With humility and respect, I acknowledge that the land I live and work on is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Pueblo, Shoshone, Apache, Navajo, Comanche, and other Indigenous Nations who have stewarded these lands for generations beyond measure.

I recognize that these lands were taken through violence, displacement, and broken treaties—and that the impacts of colonization continue today. 


A land acknowledgement is only a beginning. Being in right relationship with the land and its original peoples means listening, unlearning, and committing to reciprocity.


I offer deep gratitude to the Indigenous peoples of this region—past, present, and future—and I honor their enduring connection to this land, its waters, and its stories. I commit to tending this place with care, respect, and a willingness to engage in healing work beyond words.

“We still possess our abilities to lead, to love humankind, to yet carry out our peoples’ wealth of traditional knowledge, to have a respect for all life, to maintain a compassionate view of the world, and to be concerned about the desecration of Mother Earth.”


— Dr. Henrietta Mann (Cheyenne elder and educator)

Right Relationship

Right Relationship, Indigenous, Indigenous wisdom, decolonize therapy, ancestral trauma, stolen land

 

Right relationship refers to a way of being that honors mutual respect, responsibility, and reciprocity in how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the more-than-human world. The term is often associated with Indigenous worldviews, where relationships with the land, community, ancestors, and spirit are seen as interconnected and sacred. While the phrase may differ in expression across cultures, it reflects a deep understanding that well-being arises not from domination or extraction, but from balance, humility, and care.


In therapeutic and ecological contexts, right relationship means showing up with integrity, consent, and reverence—toward our own bodies, emotions, nervous systems, and the living systems we are part of. It invites a shift away from control or self-optimization and toward stewardship, attunement, and relational accountability.

Practicing right relationship may look like:

  • Listening to the land rather than mastering it
  • Offering care without centering ego or fixing
  • Setting boundaries that protect connection, not separation
  • Unlearning patterns of harm and cultivating repair
  • Honoring one’s own rhythms without overriding them for external expectations
     

This concept is not a tool to be borrowed or diluted, but a principle to be practiced with humility, especially by those of us in healing roles, on stolen land, or within systems that have benefited from colonization. It asks us not only how we relate—but why, and to what end.
