Clinical Depth
Rooted in a Columbia University MSW and clinical training. Spiritual experience is held with psychological sophistication, not reduced to symptoms or dismissed as pathology.
Who This Is For
- People in the middle of a spiritual awakening who need support that does not pathologize what is happening
- Adults deconstructing religious frameworks they were raised inside, and grieving what that costs
- Queer, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ individuals seeking spiritual care that honors rather than erases their identity
- Seekers and contemplatives who have done deep practice but feel unmoored, fragmented, or spiritually bypassed
- Therapists, healers, and guides who need a space for their own integration work
What Brings People Here
- A spiritual opening that came uninvited and left you unsure what is real
- The loss of a faith tradition that once held your world together
- A growing sense that your inner life is outpacing the frameworks you have for understanding it
- Experiences with plant medicine, meditation, or prayer that cracked something open and need grounded integration
- A longing for the sacred that does not fit neatly into any existing tradition or community
"I had an experience I cannot explain and I am afraid to tell anyone."
"I left the church but I did not leave God. I just do not know where to put that now."
"My therapist does not know what to do with this part of my experience."
"I feel like I am waking up and falling apart at the same time."
Why This Is Different
Spiritual Authority
Years of personal contemplative practice, study across traditions, and direct experience with the territory of awakening. This is not theoretical interest. It is lived understanding.
Systems-Based Integration
A background in systems thinking means spiritual experience is never isolated from the rest of your life. Body, psyche, relationships, and soul are held together.
Queer-Inclusive Safety
Spiritual guidance that fully affirms queer, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ identities. Your wholeness is not a contradiction. It is the ground of your spiritual life.
What This Work Supports
- Integrating spiritual awakenings and mystical experiences into daily life without losing your footing
- Navigating religious deconstruction with care for the grief, the freedom, and the identity shifts it brings
- Rebuilding self-trust after spiritual manipulation, high-demand groups, or communities that conditioned your worth
- Queer-inclusive spiritual exploration that honors all of who you are
- Working with non-ordinary states of consciousness in a grounded, non-sensationalized way
- Somatic and nervous system work for spiritual experiences that live in the body, not just the mind
- Discernment when you are at a crossroads between surrender and self-protection
How We Work
- Slowing down enough to listen to what the soul is actually saying, not what the mind thinks it should be
- Parts work through Internal Family Systems, so spiritual bypassing, inner critics, and protectors are all welcomed
- Nervous system safety as a foundation, because spiritual opening without embodied grounding can destabilize
- Contemplative dialogue that holds paradox, unknowing, and the liminal space between who you were and who you are becoming
- Integration practices that honor both the mystical and the mundane
- A relational container built on presence, attunement, and deep respect for your process
What It Feels Like
This work is not about fixing your spiritual experience. It is about creating the conditions for it to be integrated, metabolized, and lived. Most people describe it as the first time they felt fully met in this part of their experience.
- A space where the sacred and the psychological are not separated
- A space where nothing you have experienced is too strange or too much
- A space where your body is included in the conversation, not just your beliefs
- A space where you can finally breathe and begin to make sense of what has been happening
A Note on Fit
This pathway may not be the best fit if you are primarily looking for traditional religious direction, formulaic coaching, prescriptive self-help, clinical psychotherapy, diagnostic treatment, or symptom-focused therapy within a licensed treatment framework.

Learn About Coaching vs. TherapyYou do not need to have the perfect language for what is opening.
You just need a space that can hold it. A discovery call is a quiet, unhurried conversation to explore whether this work resonates with what you are carrying.
