TranZen Mental — FL, GA, IN & MA

When everything you thought
you knew changes, you don't
have to make sense of it alone.

Therapy for near-death experiencers, spiritual transformation, and the search for meaning after life-altering experiences.

Psychotherapy & Integration

"The wound is the place where the light enters you."

— Rumi

You've had an experience

You may have gone through something that's difficult to explain—a near-death experience, a sudden spiritual awakening, or a moment that reshaped how you see life, death, and reality itself.

And now… things don't quite fit anymore.

  • Disconnected from others who haven't shared your experience
  • Less afraid of death—but unsure how to live
  • Overwhelmed by the weight of what you went through
  • Frustrated that no one seems to truly understand

These experiences are more common than you think—and they deserve thoughtful, grounded support.

Psychotherapy for what
comes after

  • → Make sense of your experience without dismissing it
  • → Reconnect with your life, relationships, and purpose
  • → Process emotional aftereffects: anxiety, grief, confusion
  • → Integrate spiritual insight in a way that feels stable and real

My approach is rooted in clinical training, while remaining open to the depth and complexity of human experience.

What we work on together

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions focused on integration, emotional processing, and meaning-making. A space to explore what happened—without pressure to explain it away.

NDE Integration

Processing and integrating near-death experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space that honors the full weight of what you went through.

Spiritual Awakening & Disruption

Support for those navigating the disorientation that follows sudden spiritual shifts—finding footing when the ground has shifted.

Existential Anxiety & Meaning

For those wrestling with big questions about life, death, identity, and purpose—especially when everyday life feels hollow after transformation.

Life After Transformation

When a trauma, loss, or profound event changes who you are—therapy helps you rebuild identity and find a grounded sense of self.

Death Anxiety & End-of-Life

Thoughtful, calm exploration of mortality, end-of-life fears, and how close encounters with death can reshape how we choose to live.

Group Therapy

Small groups for those integrating profound experiences. Coming soon — a space to feel less alone in what you've been through.

My work begins where the map runs out

My work focuses on what happens after a life-changing experience—when the world looks different, but there's no clear roadmap for how to live in it.

"My role is not to define what your experience means—but to help you explore it in a way that supports your psychological well-being, relationships, and sense of purpose."

I am a licensed mental health counselor (PhD, LMHC, NCC), currently practicing in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Massachusetts, with a focus on existential and meaning-centered therapy. I will be expanding into Minnesota, Ohio, and Arizona later this year.

My background includes years working as a firefighter—where I witnessed firsthand how close encounters with death can profoundly change a person. That experience informs how I approach this work: calm, direct, and able to hold space for the realities that many others avoid.

While we may explore spiritual themes together, my work is psychotherapy—not spiritual direction or religious guidance. We won't impose meaning. We'll explore it together, in a way that serves your mental and emotional health.

More ways to engage

Beyond individual sessions, there are several ways to learn, connect, and find community.

Continuing Education Courses

As a licensed therapist, you know that continuing education is essential—not just for license renewal, but for growing as a clinician. I offer CE courses focused on areas that most training programs rarely address: near-death experience integration, existential approaches to therapy, and supporting clients through transformative experiences.

These are topics your clients are already bringing into the room. This training helps you meet them there—with confidence and clinical grounding.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to believe in anything specific? −
No. This is not about adopting beliefs—it's about understanding your experience in a way that supports your well-being. Whether you frame your experience in spiritual, psychological, or entirely personal terms, this is your space to explore.
Will you tell me what my experience means? +
No. We explore meaning together, without imposing interpretations. My role is to help you find what feels true and livable for you—not to hand you a framework.
Is this religious therapy? +
No. Therapy may include spiritual themes, but it is not tied to any religion, belief system, or worldview. People of all faiths—and none—are welcome.
Do you work with anxiety and depression too? +
Yes—especially when they're connected to life transitions, existential questions, or transformative experiences. Many clients come with very grounded, everyday challenges that are intertwined with deeper questions.
Where are you licensed? +
I am a licensed mental health counselor (PhD, LMHC, NCC), currently licensed in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Massachusetts. Telehealth sessions are available for clients in all four states.

If you've had an experience that changed everything, you don't have to navigate it alone.

A consultation is a low-pressure conversation to see if working together feels right. There's no commitment—just space to talk.
