If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you're not living as your fullest self, this work might be for you. Spiritual counseling isn't just for people in crisis—it's for anyone ready to do more than just cope or survive.

You might benefit if you're dealing with:

Relationships: Toxic or ended relationships, communication breakdowns, codependency, boundary issues, heartbreak, preparing for marriage, feeling unseen or unheard

Work: Burnout, imposter syndrome, difficulty setting boundaries, career transitions, finding meaningful work, leadership challenges, stepping into your power

Parenting: Losing yourself in parenthood, wanting to parent differently than you were raised, healing generational trauma, navigating family conflict

Personal growth: Feeling disconnected from yourself or your purpose, breaking patterns that keep showing up, finding your authentic voice, people-pleasing

Communication & empowerment: Finding your voice, speaking your truth, standing in your power, advocating for yourself, asking for what you need

Trauma & healing: Religious trauma, childhood trauma, body-based trauma that talk therapy hasn't resolved, grief and loss, sexual trauma or shame

Spiritual questions: Religious deconstruction, questioning your beliefs, feeling spiritually empty, wanting to deepen your faith, finding your way after a crisis

This work is for people who are ready to transform, to heal at the root, and to live a life that actually feels like theirs.

People come to me when traditional approaches haven't been enough. Maybe therapy helped you understand why you're stuck, but you still can't move forward. Maybe self-help books gave you insights but no real transformation. Maybe you're successful on paper but empty inside.

Spiritual counseling goes deeper. We work on soul-level healing that helps you:

• Reconnect with yourself and your inner wisdom

• Break free from patterns that have kept you stuck

• Find clarity and purpose in your life

• Heal trauma that lives in your body, not just your mind

• Navigate transitions with grace instead of just survival

• Build the relationships, career, and life you actually want

• Step into your authentic power and voice

You'll leave sessions with more than just insights—you'll have practices, new perspectives, and a felt sense of shift in your body and being.

Not at all. I work with people across the entire spiritual spectrum—from deeply religious to atheist and everything in between.

My approach is multi-faith and pluralistic which means I can honor and draw from multiple religious and spiritual traditions (Christianity, Buddhism, Tantra, Indigenous wisdom, contemplative practices, and more). I never impose any belief system on you. Rather, I hope to help you enhance your own spiritual path.

I work with people who are:

• Deeply religious and want spiritual support outside their congregation

• Spiritual-but-not-religious

• In the middle of deconstruction or leaving organized religion

• Healing from religious trauma while reclaiming what was meaningful

• Atheist or agnostic and want the benefits of these practices without religious framing

• Wrestling with big questions about God, meaning, or purpose

• Wanting to integrate practices from different traditions

• Deepening their existing faith in new ways

As a spiritual counselor and chaplain, my role is never to tell you what to believe. I help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and find the spiritual grounding that makes sense for your life. We can incorporate prayer, holy texts, or religious language if that resonates with you—or work in completely secular terms. It’s up to you!

Spiritual counseling is not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment.

I'm not a therapist or a licensed mental health professional. Rather, I am an ordained minister in the progressive Protestant Christian domination United Church of Christ (UCC). We are Open & Affirming, LBGTQIA+ inclusive, non-creedal, and staunch advocates for racial, economic, marriage, and justice equality. You can read more at UCC.org.

As a clergy member I am subject to the same standards and benefits of confidentiality as mental health professionals and healthcare providers. Therefore, all conversations with me are strictly confidential.

Many of my clients work with both a therapist and me. In general, the two complement each other well. And while my work can include some coaching elements when it makes sense, the foundation is always spiritual care and deep healing.

Simple definitions:

• Therapy focuses on mental health, diagnosing and treating conditions, and behavioral change. Therapists help you understand why you're stuck.

• Life coaching focuses on goal-setting, accountability, and getting from point A to point B. Great for clarity around career or specific outcomes, but doesn't address trauma, deep emotional healing, or spiritual questions.

• Wellness coaching focuses on physical health, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Important, but doesn't address soul-level questions of meaning, purpose, or healing from past wounds.

→ Spiritual counseling ← seeks to understand the cosmic root of your misalignment. I help you find your way forward through soul-level healing, meaning-making, and reconnecting with your inner wisdom. We work with:

• Trauma stored in your body and nervous system

• Patterns rooted in your family, past, or spiritual beliefs

• Questions that can't be answered with a goal or habit tracker

• Healing that needs to happen before you can even think about your goals

I use modalities like clinical hypnotherapy, somatic work, and contemplative practices that access deeper layers of your subconscious and body wisdom. We are not just seeking to understand—we are seeking to be transformed.

(Note: There are rare circumstances under which I will refer clients to a therapist for treatment before beginning work with me as Spiritual Counseling is not suited to certain mental health disorders.)

I have over a decade of experience supporting people through their healing journeys. Here's what I bring:

Interfaith Chaplain - I create sacred space for healing without religious pressure. As a chaplain, I'm trained to provide spiritual care across all belief systems.

Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist - Clinical hypnotherapy helps you access your subconscious mind where deep patterns, beliefs, and memories live. In a deeply relaxed state (you're always aware and in control), we work with limiting beliefs, process trauma, and connect with inner wisdom. It's evidence-based transformation, not stage hypnosis.

Somatic Coaching - Your body holds wisdom, emotions, and trauma that your mind might not have words for. Through breath, movement, body awareness, and nervous system work, we help your body release what it's been holding and return to safety and groundedness.

Certified Mediator - I help you work through conflict constructively—both internal conflicts within yourself and relational conflicts with others. We learn to understand what's really underneath the surface.

Mindfulness Instructor - Practical techniques to stay grounded even when emotions are overwhelming, to observe your thoughts without getting swept away, and to create space between stimulus and response.

Trauma-Informed Training - I understand how trauma affects the brain, body, and nervous system. Your past hurts won't be dismissed or rushed. We work at your pace, honoring your body's signals, creating safety first.

Gottman Method Level 2 Training - Research-based relationship work that informs how I help individuals understand their relationship patterns.

But honestly? What matters more than credentials is whether I can actually help you get unstuck and move forward. While I may have years to training and experience, I like to take a collaborative approach to finding the best combination of modalities that work for you!

Trust the process!

Each session is tailored to what you need, but here's the general flow:

We start by creating sacred space through grounding practices—breathwork, meditation, or just taking a moment to notice what's present in your body. Then we explore what's happening for you emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

From there, we use whatever tools serve your healing:

Breathwork and mindfulness - Simple but powerful techniques to calm your nervous system and help you feel grounded. Things you can use anytime.

Somatic exploration - Noticing what your body is telling you. Where's the tension? What does grief feel like in your body? We work with these sensations directly, helping your body release what it's holding.

Clinical hypnotherapy - For deeper work, we use guided relaxation to access your subconscious mind. You're always aware and in control—it just opens a door to deeper healing.

Contemplative practices - Meditation, visualization, prayer (if that resonates), sacred texts from any tradition, or tools like tarot or oracle cards to access intuitive wisdom.

Good conversation - Sometimes the most healing thing is to be truly heard without judgment.

We close by integrating what came up and establishing practices to support you between sessions. You'll leave with something concrete—a practice, a new perspective, or a sense of having been truly seen.

Where are sessions held? All sessions are online via secure video conferencing. You can be in the comfort of your own space.

How long are sessions? Most sessions are 60-90 minutes. The Spiritual Deep Dive is a 2-hour intensive.

How do I know which program is right for me? Start with a free 20-minute consultation. We'll talk about what you're experiencing and I can recommend the right approach. You can also start with the Spiritual Deep Dive to experience this work before committing to a longer program.

Do you offer payment plans? Yes! Payment plans are available for all programs. Finances should never be the barrier that keeps you from getting support.

Can I work with you if I'm already seeing a therapist? Absolutely! Many clients work with both a therapist and me, and I'm happy to communicate with your therapist (with your permission) to ensure aligned support. Spiritual counseling is not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment.

How do I get started? Book a free 20-minute consultation. There's no obligation—it's just a chance for us to connect and see if this work resonates with you.
