    I have practiced as a clinician for more than three decades. In that time I've sat with people through grief, loss, long stretches of confusion, and the quieter kinds of becoming that rarely show on the surface. I continue to be moved by how patient, and how surprising, this work can be.

    My training is in depth-oriented psychotherapy, with ongoing study in psychoanalytic, existential, and Jungian thought.

    Alongside that, I've spent many years engaged with contemplative practice across Christian contemplative, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan, and interspiritual traditions. I don't represent any of them. I have been shaped by all of them.

    I am also trained in ACPE Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. Where a client wants spirituality to be part of the work, that's possible. Where they don't, the work proceeds without it. The choice belongs to them.

    I work with adults who want a slower, more reflective form of attention. Many come during a transition: a loss, a vocational shift, the end or beginning of something, or the sense that an old way of being has quietly stopped fitting.

    The people who tend to find their way here are often navigating religious trauma or spiritual abuse, faith deconstruction, spiritual emergence, grief, vocational questioning, or other meaningful life transitions. Many are therapists, clinicians, caregivers, or spiritually engaged people who have had trouble finding a place to think this deeply and carefully.

    Some come without knowing exactly why. That is enough to begin.
