The Clearing

Short Term Depth Work for Life's Thresholds and Crossings.

There are moments in life when you don’t need ongoing therapy—you just need someone to sit with you, ask the right questions, and help you see the bigger picture.

The Clearing is a short-term, 2–3 session offering for people facing a life decision, identity shift, or emotional crossroads. Together, we’ll pause and take stock. You bring your questions, patterns, and the things you can’t quite name. I bring a steady presence, deep clinical listening, and years of experience helping people make meaning from complexity.

After our final session, I’ll send you a written reflection capturing what emerged—core themes, unconscious dynamics, internal conflicts, developmental edges, and the threads I believe are most worth following. Think of it as a psychological map: something you can take with you, work with, and return to.

This isn’t therapy, but it’s informed by everything I know as a depth psychotherapist. It’s insight without commitment. Clarity without performance. A clearing in the woods to see where you are, and where you might go next.

Short Term Guidance, Long Term Clarity 

When You Need to See the Path Again

The Clearing is a space for people standing at a crossroads, carrying a complex story, or needing help sorting through a decision. It's not coaching. It's not ongoing therapy. It’s a short-term, high-impact conversation designed to bring clarity. Over two or three sessions, you’ll sit with someone who can hold the whole picture—psychological, relational, existential—and help you find your footing. You’ll also receive a thoughtful written summary to take with you. The Clearing draws on decades of clinical experience, depth psychology, and wisdom traditions—not to fix you, but to help you see more clearly what’s yours to carry, what’s ready to set down, and what direction might feel truer to you now.

What is The Clearing?

It’s not therapy. It’s not coaching.
It’s a short-term, depth-oriented consultation designed for moments of decision, disorientation, or transition.

You bring what’s weighing on you—and we’ll walk through it together with calm, clarity, and care.

You’ll get insight grounded in clinical training, lived experience, and wisdom traditions. No fluff. No quick fixes. Just clear seeing and thoughtful direction.

Say Hello. Let’s Start from Here.

If something here speaks to you, go ahead and reach out. Whether you’re looking for support, insight, guidance, or a place to land during a life transition, I’d love to hear from you.

All of my work starts the same way: a real conversation. Let me know what’s bringing you here, and we’ll figure out the right next step—together.
