I am Lisa (she/they). I am a tender of souls in the lineages of of depth approaches to psyche. I have been a seeker all my life. This path has led me to study and work in numerous modalities and ways of tending to psyche and soul. After three decades as a therapist, I am marking a new path. One that centers soul and my own love for an intimate relationship with the beings and elements in which I dwell. Through natural and ancient ways of being and knowing, I cultivate imaginal space a place for creativity and collaboration with humans and the more than human world.
I find this way of living to be enlivening and expansive, offering a spaciousness for contending with the deepest of darkness while dancing with the new edges that living brings.
I come to this way of accompanying people as an experienced mental health professional, queer human, and elder. In the care of deep teachers, human, and more than human, I am here to share and wonder into a way of being that rooted in soulful practices and lifeways. To come home to what was lost in colonization and to remember the deep practice of being human, in the midst of multiple crisis of modernity. Old lifeways hold potency and are free of charge. Storytelling, deep listening, reciprocity, kinship. The ceremonies of living a deeper life are simple yet profound.
With deep respect for the land and for the mystery, I am here to accompany folks in collaborative containers for healing and remembering. For marking what is no more and welcoming in what has yet to be.
I am dedicated to unlearning the illusions that drive our dominant culture and to navigate life in the realm of the imaginal so that what is brought back into the everyday world may be helpful, useful, healing.
I am dedicated to dismantling internal systems of oppression, and lowering barriers to access for disenfranchised and marginalized peoples. Life is lived at the intersections of social constructs and very real power dynamics that reinforce deep injustice and harm. It is my intention to hold out these offerings through an accessible frame that is crafted in a good way. My intentions are to nurture participants, honor the land, and receive support that sustains my way. My intention is to sing my one small note in the chorus of human voices calling for a new way.
My way with money can tell you more about my approach.
Soulful way-making through the seasons of living and dying .
Inquiry and Listening for the edges of wild wisdom.



I am grateful for elders and mentors of the old ways, the indigenous ways of living, and what is referred to as the mythopoetic path. Each of these voices is very much alive in my heart as I make my own way.
