You’re ready for something deeper—even if you're not sure what that is

Life can be disorienting—and sometimes you need space to slow down, sort through the noise, and reconnect with what really matters. Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, burned out, or caught in cycles you don’t fully understand (including struggles with sex, relationships, or identity), we’ll take the time to get honest about what’s going on beneath the surface.

I work through the lens of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Enneagram, and years of experience helping people navigate problematic sexual behavior. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about understanding the parts of you that are trying to protect you, even if their strategies aren’t working anymore.

Therapy for Professionals & High-Performers

For professionals, executives, and leaders looking to break through personal barriers that may be limiting their career growth, I offer specialized therapy tailored for high performers.

  • Focus Areas:

    • Addressing attachment wounds that show up in professional life

    • Addressing burnout, stress, and emotional exhaustion

    • Building deeper emotional intelligence for leadership

    • Enhancing personal relationships to support career success

This work isn’t just about professional success—it’s about building a secure, resilient, and fulfilled life in every area.

Inner Terrain: Therapy for Pastors and Ministry Leaders

For pastors, ministry professionals, and spiritual leaders navigating the emotional weight of leadership, I offer therapy tailored to the unique challenges of life in ministry.

This work creates space to explore your inner world—the terrain beneath the calling—so you can show up with greater clarity, resilience, and presence in every area of life.

Focus Areas:

  • Addressing attachment wounds that impact how you lead, relate, and receive

  • Addressing burnout, emotional exhaustion, and compassion fatigue

  • Exploring identity beyond the role of pastor, caretaker, or guide

  • Building emotional resilience and boundaries without losing your sense of calling

  • Strengthening relationships at home and in ministry

This work isn’t just about surviving ministry—it’s about restoring the person behind the role and creating space for a whole, grounded life that can sustain both calling and connection.
