a steady presence for the deeper work of healing, meaning and awakening

About Me

I am a depth psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with more than thirty years of clinical experience.

I work with individuals navigating life transitions, spiritual emergence, and questions of meaning.

My approach blends psychological depth with contemplative wisdom and a steady, grounded presence. I work relationally and reflectively, with careful attention to pacing, emotional stability, identity, and lived experience over time.

My orientation is informed by psychodynamic, Jungian, and transpersonal psychology, along with sustained contemplative practice. These influences shape how I listen and how I work, while remaining grounded in psychological care rather than spiritual interpretation.

My Clinical Experience

My professional path has included:
• Community mental health and crisis settings
• Trauma-informed, depth-oriented psychotherapy
• Service as a former DBT Team Lead and DBT specialist
• Accompanying individuals through significant psychological and existential transitions
• Clinical support for spiritual emergence and awakening experiences

My contemplative formation informs my presence and attention. It does not replace psychotherapy, nor does it shift therapy into spiritual direction.

Training & Formation

My professional and contemplative formation includes:
• MA in Counseling Psychology
• Licensed Professional Counselor (Oregon)
• Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Washington)
• Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (Oregon)
• Certified Clinical Supervisor
• Participant in the Franciscan Spiritual Direction Training Program
• Interspiritual formation across Buddhist, Christian contemplative, Hindu, and Pagan traditions
• Specialized training in spiritual emergence

What Guides My Work

At the center of my work is a steady commitment to presence, clarity, and depth.

Healing unfolds within a stable relational container, at a pace that supports integration rather than urgency.

Whether you are seeking psychotherapy or clinical supervision, you are welcome here — as you are.
