I help international/global, domestic nonprofit, post-disaster, Christian workers, and their family members. (I also welcome survivors of the Eaton Fire who believe that we would be a good fit.) Stress, life transitions, adapting to new contexts, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and faith and spirituality concerns (including meaning-making after stressful/traumatic circumstances or persistent guilt or shame, inability to self-forgive, or relational disconnection after having acted against (or not acted according) to your values are all welcome. I'll meet you where you are. Existential angst does not make me squeamish.
There are times when we need to stabilize: eat, sleep, exercise, rest/recreate, find social support; we can work on this together. But stability is only the beginning. I offer deep work to prevent symptoms from returning, to know yourself and your values, to build healthy relationships, and to work on the inner and outer systems that help you to thrive.
Finding a way forward may seem overwhelming. Things often seem (and may, in fact, be) worse when we're alone. The "Buddy System" isn't just good for the field. Together, we can identify dependable people that you can travel with now. Until then, consider whether I am a suitable collaborator to work towards achieving your objectives and, if so, reach out.

I offer the deep, systemic, personalized work that short-term work isn't built to address. This work makes room for personal growth, cultural concerns, values exploration, spiritual integration, and existential meaning-making. I take seriously each client's unique identity, values, and objectives. Clients typically prefer therapeutic work that helps them to be aligned, integrated, healthy.

Our symptoms and challenges are embedded in our relationships. Our understanding of our experiences (past and present) and typical ways of responding are rooted in what we have lived through and how we've learned to cope. Sometimes, we get stuck here. Our options are limited by our expectations of others and flexibility to choose another way. Sometimes, grieving and/or meaning making are required.
