If you're someone others rely on a high-achieving professional, a caregiver, or both you may find yourself quietly running on empty. Words like overwhelmed, over functioning, and at capacity may feel all too familiar. I offer a safe, supportive space to breathe, reflect, and begin healing.

Life has a way of knocking us down, doesn’t it? It can be tough to create a life that feels fulfilling. We can find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships, career, or life, and it can be difficult to shake the nagging sense that life has not turned out how we expected or hoped. Perhaps, you are struggling with a difficult boss or a job that doesn’t quite seem to fit your skill set. Or perhaps, no matter matter how hard you try you cannot seem to make progress with your relationships (whether that be your spouse, significant other, family, or friends), and it continues to be distant, disconnected, or conflicted.

Hello! Wonder what a session will be like with me? We'll talk. Really talk. I'll listen. I'll ask off the wall questions sometimes. We'll laugh because everyone needs more dopamine. Laughter is good medicine. I'll be honest and direct and encourage you to be the same. I might ask you to get your body involved in the session - to stretch or rock or tap or touch your heart. We might cry or swear or just sit in WTF silence - it happens. Safe silence is a beautiful thing. Maybe I'll share a journal page or a poem. Maybe you will share something you've heard or seen or made. If it feels like connection and healing for you, I'm in.

My background is a patchwork of philosophy, mental health, spirituality, the humanities, and travel—all of which shape how I show up for clients (and overfills my bookshelf).
Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” It can certainly feel that way when we are overwhelmed or stuck. When Socrates felt stuck, he sought guidance from the Oracle at Delphi, who told him: Know thyself. That’s the heart of therapy. There’s a small aim—just showing up, staying curious, doing the work. And there’s a big aim: self-knowledge and self-actualization. That means getting clear on what actually matters, and letting go of the old patterns, baggage, and noise. Think of me as equal parts Socrates and Forest Gump: examining life, on a road toward the horizon - long, strange trip. If interested, come along.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
