Heart Man Healing Arts
A steady presence for your heart
A sacred witness who stands with you
Spiritual care and ritual for life’s thresholds
Serving Portland, Salem, and surrounding Oregon communities, in person and virtually.
Heart Man Healing Arts offers spiritual care, sacred companioning, and ritual for life’s thresholds—supporting individuals and communities through grief, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, and end-of-life care.
My work begins with presence.
It is rooted in the belief that every person carries an innate inner wisdom and a deep well of goodness—sometimes buried beneath layers of shame, grief, fear, exhaustion, or self-protection.
Healing does not arise from fixing what is broken. It emerges when we are met with steadiness, dignity, and compassionate presence.
Through contemplative spiritual care (sometimes experienced as spiritual counseling) and grounded ritual practice, I walk alongside you through profound transitions, difficult emotions, and sacred turning points.
This is a place where intensity is welcome. Where grief and rage can be witnessed without turning away. Where fear can be named without judgment. Where dignity is restored at the pace of your readiness—within a steady, compassionate field.

The Approach
My work integrates contemplative spiritual care, trauma-informed presence, ritual, and relational depth.
With sacred curiosity, I honor your experience — we listen together for what feels true in your heart.
I do not rescue or override your process. I stay with you when things feel intense. I help protect the space where your full humanity can emerge—messy, powerful, tender, and real.
Healing begins when the heart is welcomed home. Shame transforms when it is seen and held with compassion rather than hidden in isolation.
My presence is the steady ground from which this work unfolds.
Together, we move at the pace of dignity.
