My work as a pastoral counselor is rooted in compassion, presence, and respect for each person’s unique spiritual and personal journey. I offer non-clinical counseling for individuals seeking support with meaning-making, emotional processing, life transitions, grief, personal breakthroughs, spiritual growth, and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Throughout my 20-year career as a healthcare provider, I have encountered many individuals whose symptoms and conditions persisted despite thorough evaluation and the absence of an obvious medical root cause. These experiences have shaped my understanding that, at times, physical symptoms or patterns in the body may reflect areas of spiritual, emotional or relational misalignment rather than solely a medical condition. This perspective has led me to approach care with greater attentiveness to the whole person- recognizing that healing and restoration often involve no only the body, but also one’s inner life, relationships, beliefs, and sense of purpose.

In 2023, I completed a year-long intensive training in plant-based medicine traditions with a focus on consciousness exploration, ethical practice, and integration. This training informs my ability to support individuals who have had a profound or transformative experiences- helping them to reflect, ground insight, and integrate awareness into daily life in a way that is stable, aligned with their values and is sustainable.

My role in this particular setting is not to diagnose or treat but rather to act as a mirror or sounding board to clients and offer integration support for those navigating questions of purpose, identity, faith, expanded awareness, grief, or personal transformation. These sessions are reflective and guided by the belief that healing and growth unfold best when met with curiosity, discernment, and compassionate support.
