About My Clients
I work with people living through a profound inner disruption—a moment when life no longer feels inhabitable. Beyond exhaustion or overwhelm, there’s the realization that the self they once lived as is gone. They may feel unreal, disconnected, or unfamiliar to themselves, and fear something has gone terribly wrong. This often follows burnout, trauma, or a spiritual awakening that changed everything. They know they can’t return to who they were and grapple with how to live now.
My Background and Approach
My work is grounded, trauma-informed, and integrative. I draw from mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR to support nervous system regulation, physiological safety, and integration after identity rupture. Attention is given to what is happening in the body and mind, recognizing how burnout, trauma, and spiritual crisis affect the whole system. Symptoms are addressed in service of integration—supporting the emergence of a coherent self that can be lived in safely.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Mental health struggles are not personal failures. They are natural human responses to lives, identities, or meaning structures that can no longer be sustained. Burnout, trauma, and spiritual crisis can feel like the loss of a former self or future, often accompanied by depersonalization, derealization, or spiritual emergency—experiences where the self or world feels unreal. I see therapy as a space to honor what has ended, integrate what has been lived, and support the slow emergence of something new. The work is less about fixing what broke and more about learning how to live from what’s emerging. This process asks for self-compassion, patience, and intention rather than productivity or performance. I approach this work with respect for each person’s capacity to imagine and create a life that can actually be inhabited.
