Spiritual Counseling and Emergence Therapy

For the seeker, the sensitive, the soul-weary.

Do you feel lost, disconnected, or unsure how to return to your true self?

Have you had a spiritual experience that left you transformed, shaken—or both?

As a depth psychotherapist based in Oakland, CA, I offer spiritual therapy and Jungian-inspired inner work for those navigating soul loss, spiritual emergence, or a longing to feel connected to something greater.

Whether you’re in a season of awakening, grief, confusion, or transformation, I hold space for the deep inner journey that can’t be rushed—and shouldn’t be pathologized.

Depth Psychotherapy for Soul Recovery

In Jungian depth therapy, we understand that life’s hardships—loss, trauma, shame, or illness—can fragment the psyche. We disconnect from parts of ourselves in order to survive. These lost or exiled parts often live in what Jung called the shadow—the unconscious realm of hidden emotions, forgotten desires, and unprocessed wounds.

Over time, this soul-splitting can show up as chronic emptiness, spiritual confusion, or a haunting sense that something vital is missing. You might feel like you’re drifting through life, disconnected from joy, purpose, or meaning.

But these symptoms aren’t signs of failure. They’re signals. Invitations to return to yourself.

In spiritual depth therapy, we explore how and when you lost touch with your inner wholeness. Using dreams, symbols, imagination, and the language of the unconscious, we begin the quiet work of reclaiming what was forgotten. Together, we listen for the soul’s voice—sometimes soft, sometimes fierce—and follow it back home.

Spiritual Seekers, Healers & Psychedelic Explorers Welcome

You might be someone who’s had spontaneous spiritual experiences—visions, synchronicities, or intuitions that felt deeply meaningful but hard to explain. Maybe a meditation practice, plant medicine journey, or near-death experience opened a portal within you. Or perhaps you’ve always sensed something more, even as a child—something invisible but undeniable.

Mainstream psychology often pathologizes these experiences. But depth psychotherapy makes space for them.

I work with:

• Highly sensitive people and intuitive souls

• People who’ve had mystical or psychedelic experiences

• Spiritual seekers facing existential or identity shifts

• Healers, helpers, and caretakers who’ve lost their center

• Adults healing from spiritual trauma or religious wounding

Spiritual Emergence or Crisis?

What feels like falling apart may actually be the beginning of becoming.

In Jungian psychology, the drive toward wholeness is called individuation—a deep, lifelong unfolding of the Self. It often includes encounters with the shadow, archetypes, and transpersonal energies. Spiritual awakenings can feel disorienting, but they are not breakdowns. They are breakthroughs.

You may be experiencing:

• Sudden intuitive insights

• A compulsion to change your life

• Unusual sensory sensitivity

• A powerful connection to something sacred or symbolic

• A deep longing to remember who you are

While this can feel like unraveling, it can also mark a sacred turning point.

Note: I am not a crisis provider. If you’re in the acute stages of a spiritual emergency, medical stabilization may be necessary. Once you’ve reached a sustained level of stability (usually 6+ months), I welcome you into deeper integrative work.

Healing From Spiritual & Religious Trauma

If you were taught to fear your emotions, silence your intuition, or mistrust your body—you may be carrying more than just pain. You may be carrying spiritual trauma.

Many people come to therapy carrying shame from religious or spiritual environments that harmed rather than healed. You may have learned to hate yourself, fear God, or believe that your worth depended on being perfect. This is a form of emotional and psychological abuse. And it deserves healing.

In our work together, I will never tell you what to believe in—except yourself.

I can help you reclaim your soul, reconnect with your truth, and cultivate a spiritual life that feels honest, embodied, and your own.

This Is Soul Work

Spiritual therapy isn’t about dogma or quick fixes. It’s about tending to the places in you that long for connection—to the sacred, to your Self, to the parts of you that were exiled long ago.

If you feel spiritually adrift, burned out, or quietly awakening, I’d be honored to walk with you.
