Searching for meaning is a universal human pursuit. We all long to feel like our lives matter, particularly as we navigate the second half of life.

Many people achieve their life goals, but still don’t feel fulfilled because the spiritual piece is missing. This is not so much about believing in a God “out there “, but rather feeling connected to something larger than oneself, something more than the “me” that gets up every morning, goes to work, makes meals, and pays the bills.

People need to feel more connected with what’s real so that they can feel more grounded. This is particularly true after an event like COVID, that was and still is traumatizing to the collective.

As a clinical psychologist for over 25 years, I’ve been helping clients navigate virtually all of life’s diverse challenges. This work feels sacred to me and it’s my greatest joy to witness people who have struggled with hardship, particularly growing up, blossom more fully into themselves and deepen their connections with others and with the world around them.

As I approach the latter part of my own career, the importance of the spiritual aspect of life has taken on even greater meaning. I feel drawn to working with people on this level to help them feel more satisfied and fulfilled, regardless of their circumstances.
