Finding truth by shining light in the darkness.
Eliminating fear and building resiliance.
The Umbra Philosophy
umbra / ŭm′brə / :the innermost and darkest region of a shadow.
Shadow
All of us have aspects of ourselves that we had to deny, hide, and push away in order to fit in. However, as much as we try to fool ourselves, these parts of still exist. We just can’t see them because they just live in a part of the psyche which is known as the Shadow.
When we have not integrated these parts back into our whole being, we are less able to show up as our most authentic selves.This creates issues around confidence, self-sabotage, and generates a lot of fear about being seen.
Ego
The ego exists in all of us. It’s the part of our psyche that is attached to our identity and who we think we are. When we are driven by our ego, we have a tendency to see ourselves and others in a very limited light. The ego’s prime objective is to defend itself.
The ego is very afraid of its own death, which simply means it doesn’t want to experience change. When we’re too identified with our ego, we become its prisoner. This can be the root cause of issues such as self-sabotage, procrastination, anxiety, and a tendency to hold ourselves back from achieving our true potential as creative humans.
Fear
Fear may be at the heart of what we focus on at Umbra. Fear is a normal part of being alive, but maladaptive or unregulated fear becomes problematic when it prevents us from living our lives to the fullest and keeps us locked in a state of perpetual anguish and distress. The fear of losing our sense of who we are, is a resistance to growth.
“The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”

Align Your Desires
How I Help
My primary goal is to inspire you.
I know how deeply painful it is to live a life out of alignment with who you are, being driven by fear, and holding yourself back because of outdated mental concepts.
The way I work is twofold: Meet you where you’re at and help you get to where you’re going. How I get you there is through powerful conversations that help you face yourself so that you are in the drivers seat of your life. Fear is always trying to grab the wheel and return you to the status quo. But clarity will set you free.
The purpose of my work is rooted in the belief that we get stuck because we don’t have clarity. What we’re afraid of is the unknown and the more we can know it, the less afraid we are. Humans don’t like ambiguity, so we end up filling in the blanks with our minds to make sense of it. This is where suffering starts to creep in.
My role is to help you alleviate your suffering by offering perspective that leads to clarity. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
If you're ready to reconnect with yourself, confront what’s holding you back, and create a life that feels true to who you are, let’s take the first step together.
