UNHURRIED MIND

Our time is short. Let’s not hurry.

  • Blending clear-headed science with empathy and real-world experience.

    We all go through seasons when we can benefit from a trusted ally to witness the work we are already doing - someone to listen, to ask important questions, and to walk with us through uncertainty and change. My work often bridges a gap between mental health, professional coaching, and spiritual practice. The people I work with are looking for deep transformation and not quick fixes. They are rethinking the beliefs and stories they have inherited. Others are in crisis or transition, facing a new season of life professionally or relationally.

    ​I have a special affinity for the in-between seasons of life, the ones we call adolescence...and there are two: one emerges around age thirteen and the other a few decades later.
