Are you accomplished in life but still feel something’s missing? Have you experienced a “dark night of the soul,” profound awakening, or life-changing moment (through plant medicine, meditation, or even an unexpected crisis) and now find yourself questioning everything? You deserve support from someone who understands both the clinical and spiritual sides of transformation and can help you turn insights into real, practical change. I help high achievers navigate: - Making life decisions with clarity and confidence - Existential concerns, ego death, and spiritual awakenings - Heal from past traumas - Managing people-pleasing
I specialize in spiritual integration and transpersonal therapy for high achievers and seekers on a spiritual journey. With EMDR, mindfulness, and other humanistic modalities, I help you honor insights, find clarity, and stay grounded in your life, work, and relationships. Book a call today to get started.
By participating in counseling, you're sending yourself the message that you care how you feel ... that you matter, and that you're willing to do what it takes to make the most of this life. It starts with you. You've got this and I can help! Don't wait to book a consultation with me today. Review my fees, sliding scale, and insurance options below.

Expect to hear a lot about Mindfulness when we work together. I find it to be an essential building block that will support all the other work we do. It will aid you in developing self-awareness and the coping skills you need to get through hard times gracefully.
