I am on sabbatical from private practice to focus on teaching, writing, and mentoring the next generation of Healing Arts practitioners.

I am not accepting clients at this time, but I gladly refer you to trusted colleagues for Holistic Psychotherapy, Energy Medicine, and Family Constellations.

Over 35 years ago, I vowed to help people of all genders and ages find their dignity, strength, and wisdom, regardless of life’s circumstances. My service has been to guide others in deepening their inner knowing, awakening their sense of purpose, and connecting with their essential nature—their basic goodness.

Sessions include deep, intimate conversations, ancestral lineage work, or sacred healing touch. My intention is to create a sense of trust and safety not only through my intuition and guidance but also by empowering my clients to cultivate their own.

I offer a range of grounded approaches to help my clients open their hearts, minds, and souls. My connection to ritual, spirituality, and sacredness has been diverse — spanning formal parochial education and, at age 22, taking refuge and the Bodhisattva vow with the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism under the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. I lived in the Hawaiian Islands for over 10 years, during which Huna healing and a connection with the magic and spirit of the natural world became integral to my worldview.

Together with my husband, Peter, I co-founded Faust Family Constellations and The Constellation Approach™. We co-authored The Constellation Approach: Finding Peace Through Your Family Lineage. I’m featured in Seek the Lover Within: Lessons from 50 Spiritual Teachers. Peter and I have published a book of 88 poems titled Poems of Love, Sex and God.

The amethyst of my Amethyst Opening retreats — named for my mother and my birthstone, from my meditation room.

I hold an M.A. in Holistic Counseling and Psychology. I am a graduate of the Bert Hellinger Institute USA and a former faculty member of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, where I taught for 10 years. For the past two decades, in my Amethyst Opening retreats, I have taught alchemical divination, mythopoetic approaches, neo-shamanism, and practices to expand consciousness, carrying forward the legacy entrusted to me by my late teacher, Ralph Metzner.

I am awed by the privilege of being present with another soul, day after day, year after year, for nearly half my life. For that, I feel profoundly touched by each client who has sat with me.
