Work With Me
Steady Presence at Life’s Thresholds
1:1 Spiritual Care
Spiritual care and sacred companioning for grief, life transitions, and personal healing.
Grounded, trauma-informed support for meaning-making, emotional processing, and inner steadiness.
Individual sessions are designed to support emotional, spiritual, and relational integration—meeting you where you are, and walking at a pace that honors your experience. I do not impose or project meaning, but support you in discovering what is true for you.
This work may include:
Grief and loss support
Shame resilience and the reclamation of dignity
Support during major life transitions
Processing intense or life-altering experiences
Reconnection with hidden or exiled parts of yourself
Mediation and support for interpersonal conflict
Sessions are collaborative, spacious, and grounded in contemplative spiritual care and trauma-informed practice.
End-of-Life Doula — Support for Life’s Final Thresholds
Steady, compassionate presence and guidance for individuals and families navigating end-of-life. Includes spiritual care, legacy work, vigil support, and sacred witnessing through the dying process and sacred transition.
Support may include:
Spiritual and emotional accompaniment
Bedside presence and ritual support
Grief care for individuals and families
Support for caregivers and loved ones to process, restore, and reconnect with their own steadiness and well-being
My formation in contemplative chaplaincy and Clinical Pastoral Education informs this work with steadiness, compassion, and ethical care.
Available in Portland, Salem, and the surrounding Oregon area, with both in-person and virtual options available.
Ritual, Ceremony & Rites of Passage
Personalized rituals and rites of passage to honor life transitions, thresholds, and meaningful change. Creating sacred space for integration, intention, and transformation.
These may include:
Rites of Passage
Grief release
Threshold crossings and life transitions
Inner reconciliation and return
Guided shamanic journeys for insight, healing, and reconnection
Each ceremony is crafted with intention, consent, and care to honor your story and the threshold you are crossing.
Community Ritual and Group Facilitation
I design and facilitate participatory ritual spaces that invite authentic expression, connection, and collective healing.
These spaces support groups in:
Claiming space as their own
Accessing shared presence and meaning
Engaging emotional and somatic release in a grounded, supported way
Marking transitions, endings, and new beginnings together
Gently unwinding shame in a supported community context
This work may include group ritual, workshops, retreats, and integration circles. Each space is created with care, consent, and attunement to the needs of the group.
Shame Resilience Workshops and Rituals
Gentle, grounded support for working with shame, inner conflict, and self-judgment. Cultivating self-compassion, dignity, and integration.
Facilitated group experiences designed to support the gentle unwinding of shame through shared presence, ritual, and embodied practice.
These spaces invite participants into deeper dignity, connection, and belonging—where what has been held in isolation can be met, witnessed, and integrated in community.
Workshops may be offered publicly or hosted for private groups and organizations.
Ceremonial Officiation at Life Transitions
I offer wedding officiation and memorial ceremonies, creating meaningful, personalized rituals to honor both beginnings and endings.
Offerings include:
Wedding ceremonies
Memorial services and celebrations of life
Rites of Passage and Threshold Rituals
Each ceremony is collaboratively crafted to honor your story, your relationships, and the moment you are marking, helping to create experiences that are deeply personal, grounded, and sacred.
Mediation and Conflict Resolution Support
Compassionate mediation and conflict resolution support for individuals, couples, and families. Facilitating honest communication, repair, and understanding in times of tension or transition.
I offer mediation for individuals, couples, families, and groups seeking to improve communication, work through tension, and move toward mutual understanding and resolution.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle, grounded form of energy healing work offered within the steady container of spiritual care. As a practitioner in the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of Reiki healing, I work with universal life energy as a compassionate ally in supporting relaxation, emotional balance, energetic alignment, integration, and restoration.
Reiki may be received as its own session or woven into spiritual care and ritual work. Supportive touch is always optional and grounded in clear consent. Sessions are available in person or at a distance.
This work can be especially supportive during times of stress, grief, transition, or physical and emotional exhaustion — offering space for the nervous system to settle within a steady, compassionate field.
