When clinical work enters existential or psychospiritual territory, consultation can offer support and perspective in navigating the subtle and deeply personal terrain that can emerge.

A client may be grappling with questions of meaning or identity, moving through profound loss or transition, confronting mortality or uncertainty, questioning long-held spiritual beliefs, or undergoing an experience of inner change that does not fit easily within conventional clinical frameworks.

At other times, what calls for attention may be less easily named: a shift in the therapeutic relationship, a recurring pattern that seems to carry meaning beyond the presenting concern, an experience that feels psychological and spiritual at once, or simply a sense that there is another layer of the work asking to be explored.

I offer individual consultation for therapists interested in exploring these dimensions of clinical work through an attachment-informed, existential, and psychospiritual lens.

My approach begins with the understanding that our existential and relational lives are not separate. The ways we encounter loss, uncertainty, identity, meaning, spirituality, mortality, and change are often deeply intertwined with our attachment histories and our ways of relating—to others, to ourselves, and to life itself.

What We Might Explore

Consultation is responsive to the particular client, therapist, and clinical questions you bring. Areas we might explore include:

• Existential themes of meaning, identity, freedom, uncertainty, mortality, loss, belonging, purpose, and change

• Spiritual questioning, awakening, transformation, and experiences that resist easy categorization

• How attachment patterns and relational history may shape existential or spiritual experience

• What is unfolding within the therapeutic relationship and relational field

• Differentiating psychological distress from meaningful developmental, existential, or spiritual process

• Moments of therapeutic stuckness, emotional intensity, silence, or uncertainty

• Somatic, symbolic, experiential, and depth-oriented dimensions of a client’s experience

• Experiences that may invite presence and exploration rather than immediate resolution or intervention

You do not need to practice existential, transpersonal, or psychospiritual psychotherapy to seek consultation. I welcome clinicians from a range of theoretical orientations who are interested in bringing greater depth and perspective to these dimensions of their work.

An Attachment-Informed Existential Perspective

Attachment is often understood primarily through the lens of our relationships with other people. I am also interested in how our relational histories shape the ways we meet existence itself.

Our experiences of safety, connection, loss, responsiveness, and belonging can echo through the ways we relate to uncertainty, change, mortality, meaning, spirituality, and the unknown. An existential concern may carry relational dimensions; a spiritual experience may touch attachment longings or fears; a crisis of identity may open questions not only about who someone is, but how they have learned to belong.

Holding these dimensions together allows us to explore the fullness of a client’s experience without reducing it to either psychology or spirituality alone.

Psychospiritual & Transpersonal Experience

Some experiences do not fit comfortably within conventional psychological language.

Clients may bring spiritual questioning or awakening, experiences of interconnectedness or transcendence, profound shifts in identity or worldview, changes in religious or spiritual orientation, or encounters with mystery that challenge their previous understanding of themselves or reality.

I approach these experiences with openness and clinical discernment—without automatically pathologizing or romanticizing them, and without imposing a particular spiritual framework. The inquiry remains grounded in how the experience is being lived by this particular person: psychologically, relationally, somatically, existentially, and, when meaningful to the client, spiritually.

About Me & My Clinical Orientation

I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Integrative Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and my clinical work is grounded in a multicultural, integrative approach that brings together relational, experiential, existential, and psychospiritual perspectives.

Gestalt therapy has been a central foundation of my clinical development for more than 14 years. My initial practicum and internship training were within a Gestalt-based clinical setting, and I have been affiliated with the Bay Area Gestalt Institute (BAGI) since 2015, where I have continued to train and practice as a Gestalt therapist. This long-term immersion in Gestalt has deeply shaped the way I attend to present-moment experience, embodiment, relational process, and the subtle dynamics of the therapeutic field.

Alongside my clinical training, contemplative and psychospiritual inquiry has been part of my personal and professional development for more than 20 years, beginning with the study and practice of Buddhism and developing into sustained exploration of transpersonal and nondual perspectives. My background includes long-term engagement with the Diamond Approach, including study and practice within the Ridhwan School. These traditions have informed my understanding of consciousness, identity, spiritual development, and the ways psychological and spiritual processes can intersect.

My clinical orientation is also informed by attachment theory, AEDP and other experiential approaches, somatic work, psychodynamic perspectives, and transpersonal psychology. Rather than applying any one model to a case, I draw from these perspectives in response to the particular person, therapeutic relationship, and process being explored.

I am especially interested in the places where psychological, relational, existential, and spiritual experience meet—and in approaching these intersections in a way that honors the complexity of the whole person without reducing their experience to any single framework.
