About  Dr. Dee in her own words

I help individuals tune into the psyche's unspoken voice in order to help them navigate difficult transitions and integrate past experiences of trauma in order to provoke the soul's movement.

​I’m an archetypal embodiment practitioner.

I have my Master's degree in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal studies and I am currently continuing my masters education into my third year as a PhD student at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

I am also an advanced level Somatic Experiencing Practitioner student, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and host of The Embodied Podcast.

I’m a light hearted introvert who loves to explore the mysteries of the unconscious psyche.

I am here in the cosmic soup with you and I have dedicated my life to the exploration and construction of the bridges between science and the sacred, the inner and outer, and the mind and body.
