Life on Autopilot? Craving Something More?
Maybe you’re finding yourself feeling empty, stuck in the past, overcome by fears, and overwhelmed by past trauma — including religious trauma — while everyone else seems to be moving forward. Each day feels the same, like your life is on autopilot, and you’re craving something more meaningful. You might be navigating a difficult midlife transition, moving through a divorce or breakup, facing a career change, or still hurting from old trauma — and it’s affecting everything: your identity, your spiritual journey, your career, and your relationships. You put on a brave face, but inside you feel lost, scared, sad, and isolated, wondering, “Will I feel this way forever?” It’s frustrating, draining, and scary to imagine that nothing will change.
Know this — you’re not broken, and nothing about you needs fixing. You need supported healing, and you’re definitely not alone. There is a way through this stuck place, and it starts with understanding what’s really holding you back.

A Compassionate Guide to Help You Heal and Thrive

Imagine having someone by your side who truly gets it — who holds safe space, listens without judgment, and knows how to support you in moving forward. That’s what Compassionate Presence is all about. I’m an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, a certified Life & Wellness Coach, and a certified interspiritual companion and officiant. Most importantly, I’m someone who’s here to guide you through the tough stuff.
Using a blend of proven approaches — like Internal Family Systems (helping you gently heal your inner emotional wounds), the THRIVE Coaching Model, Enneagram insights, and spiritual companioning — I tailor each session to your unique journey.
You’ll get a safe, LGBTQ+‑friendly and interspiritual space to discover, befriend, and heal the hurt and confusion that’s been holding you back. Together, we’ll work through trauma responses, old beliefs, and fear at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
No cookie-cutter programs — this is deep IFS work, personal coaching, or spiritual companionship designed for your life and experiences. As you begin to heal and gain clarity, you’ll start to feel the weight lift. Clients often tell me they finally feel heard and understood for the first time in ages.
My role is to walk with you on the path you uncover — or even discover — ahead. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
