Have you had a spiritual or religious experience that feels real and meaningful—but difficult to explain? You might find yourself sensing guidance, connection, or communication in ways that don’t quite fit into everyday language. At times, these experiences can feel profound, even sacred. At other times, they can feel confusing or overwhelming. There’s space here to explore what’s happening—whether it relates to spirituality, faith, or something you’re still trying to understand—while also staying grounded, oriented, and connected to your day-to-day life.
As an LMSW and an ASL-fluent therapist, my background includes both clinical psychotherapy and spiritually integrative practices. My work is also informed by over a decade of spiritual practice and training, including Shamanic traditions, Dreamwork, meditation, Reiki, SoulCollage, breathwork, sound, and energy-based practices.
The focus of our work is not to explain anything away, but to help you explore and integrate these experiences in a way that feels grounded, meaningful, and supportive of your overall well-being. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out when it feels right.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 30 years working as an ASL interpreter and began volunteering with VCS, Inc in 2015. These experiences continue to shape my grounded approach to listening deeply and supporting people through emotionally complex and meaningful life experiences.

Therapy begins with listening deeply to what you're experiencing in a grounded, collaborative, and spiritually integrative way. My approach helps clients explore meaningful or difficult-to-explain experiences with curiosity and discernment while remaining connected to daily life, emotional well-being, and practical support.
