Where you’ve nothing else, construct ceremonies out of the air, and breathe upon them.
— Cormac McCarthy

Apart from my therapeutic work, I’ve always been drawn to marking transitions with as much intentionality and meaning as I can in my own life. Through ritual, I create experiences where meaning can be felt, embodied, and reimagined.

Rituals are guided experiences, weaved together for the particular threshold that you are seeking meaning at. This might be a life transition, a loss, an unspeakable grief or a timely celebration. Big or small, tragic or joyous; it all belongs, because it all matters. Ritual invites your whole self—mind, body, spirit—to participate in the work of transformation.

Each ritual is personalized and rooted in your story. I draw from somatic awareness, narrative care, ecopsychology, and ancient tradition to create a space that feels grounded, meaningful, and uniquely yours. Rituals can take place in nature (highly recommended) or even curated and guided from afar. The only requirement is that you show up open and receptive.

Let’s explore what your soul is ready to mark.

The Anatomy of Ritual

  • Intention

    Ritual begins with a clear purpose. Whether it’s to honor grief, mark a transition, or welcome a new way of being, rituals help us bring focused attention to what matters most. The “why” gives shape to the experience. Ritual is the art of pausing with purpose

  • Symbol and Action

    Rituals speak the language of the body and the soul—not just the mind. Through symbolic gestures, natural elements, or embodied movement, rituals create a bridge between the seen and unseen, allowing meaning to be felt, not just thought. Rituals turn abstract emotions into embodied expressions.

  • Witness & Sacred Space

    Rituals invite us to step outside of ordinary time and into a space where something sacred can unfold. This can happen alone, in community, or with a guide—what matters is the quality of presence and the honoring of what is being marked. In ritual, we become both the one who speaks and the one who hears

The Rhythm of a Ritual

  • Before a ritual is created, we begin with conversation. These sessions (typically between 1-3) are a space to name what’s stirring—what you’re holding, releasing, or stepping into. Together, we explore the symbolic threads that want to be honored. This is slow, careful listening to your story, your body, your longings.

  • Drawing from our sessions, I create a personalized ritual shaped by your story, values, and the symbolic language that resonates with you. This may include natural elements, movement, spoken word, silence, fire, water, poetry, faith symbols or other meaningful symbols. You’ll receive a clear outline. This can be experienced in nature, at home, or as part of an ecotherapy intensive.

  • You’re not left alone in the implementation. I can guide the ritual in person or remotely, or you may choose to engage it in solitude (many do!). Some also invite a trusted friend to witness. However it unfolds, this phase is about embodiment—not performance.This is where the ritual becomes real.

  • After the ritual, I offer the possibility of returning for an integration session. This can also be done with a therapist, mentor, or spiritual director. We reflect, notice what stirred, and explore how this experience might shape your daily life, relationships, or inner landscape. Integration isn’t always immediate; it unfolds over time. This space honors that unfolding. This is about honoring what has shifted.
