Spiritual Therapy for Wise Women in Midlife
Reclaim your intuition after narcissistic abuse
You’re not looking for traditional talk therapy.
You’re looking for a therapist who can meet you in the depths. You want therapy to be a part of your spiritual path, not separate from it.
You’ve already done the work… and feel called to go deeper.
You’re proud of the life you built after trauma, but something feels unfinished. There is a part of you that is aching to be seen… a hidden truth that longs to be named… a fear that you’re now ready to face.
You’re not lost. You’re in transition.
Healing happens in layers and at midlife, you’re ready to dig deeper. We get closer to the root with therapies that are not just evidence-based but intuitive, helping you to call back your power from within.
Midlife is a spiritual threshold.
We make space for the old self to shed, as a truer self comes forward. If you are finding yourself in the chrysalis of what no longer is and what is coming, I’d be honored to meet you there.
“Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” ~Paulo Coelho
Who This Work Is For
My work might be a fit if you are intuitive, highly sensitive, empathic, or spiritually attuned. I work best with clients who have some experience with meditation, somatic practices, psychedelic journeys, or are in longterm recovery. The portal is open and we widen it.
My approach is centered on Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting, therapy models that help you to connect spiritually. We can include astrological counseling, reiki, ancestral healing, or intuitive development for additional spiritual guidance.
You went through a rough childhood and have the scars to show for it. It’s not easy to survive a narcissistic parent. If you’ve been wanting to set clearer boundaries with your family, or are navigating going no contact, our work together can be a balm and a catalyst for your midlife liberation.
I meet you at the crossroads where you are ready to heal, and guide you to places you couldn’t reach while living in survival mode.
My work is not a fit for those who are seeking traditional talk therapy, support with daily functioning, or are experiencing a mental health crisis. I don’t treat active substance abuse but welcome clients in recovery.

Midwifing You Through Midlife
What happens during therapy:
This work is sacred alchemy. You bring the ingredients — your complicated past, your present confusion, your hopes for the future — and we set the intention for it all to transform. We make sense out of senseless shit that happened to you… or we make peace with the fact that some things will never make sense.
Together, we find the part of you that is strong enough to contain confusion, grief, and trauma - your authentic Self. From this place, you can handle anything. You become brave enough to be honest with yourself in ways you couldn’t be before. Maybe you realize that you’ve been trying to love a family member that you actually can’t stand. Maybe you’re actually queer. Perhaps you discover that the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming, and now you need support shedding your skin again. Therapy is a place to come home to your intuition — the place inside of you that already knows, and reveals its answers in right timing.
As your midlife guide, I bring a balance of darkness and light, reverence for laughter and tears in equal measure. I offer a steady, grounded presence when things fall apart. I am compassionately direct — I welcome every part of you, and I’ll still hold you accountable to do the thing that scares you… eventually. I’d be honored to hold your hand through the mess of real emotion, real passion, real bravery. You are the storybook heroine, beloved. Let’s unfold the next chapter together.
Possible outcomes of our work together:
We will begin by focusing on your healing, because you have rarely put yourself first before. You might reconnect with a deep intuitive knowing, or touch a joy and innocence that you thought were long-lost to childhood. And from there, the work tends to ripple outward. You may develop the confidence to walk away from places and people that hurt you, with your head held high. You may discover a love that makes you feel more free, a career that feels more like a calling.
Regrets that once haunted you begin to fade, as you discover that a rebirth is possible. You make peace with choices that pulled you away from yourself, because you’ve never felt more found. Boundaries become clearer - not harsh, just true - and your internal sovereignty grows to match the wisdom of your age. You shift from the student to the sage.
Midlife becomes a season of expansion rather than contraction. You start honoring the cycles of your body, your energy, your grief and your desire.
Most importantly, you start to feel like your real self — the one beneath the roles you took on to survive. You become the guardian of your inner child. A force of nature, finally unbound.

Hi, I’m Mel! Here is a bit about me.
I am a spiritual seeker who has been in my own trauma therapy for 15 years. I’m fluent in the cycles of growth, identity reclamation, and rebuilding after the Tower moments.
I have survived a toxic family, going no contact, culty personal growth communities, and spiritual methods that caused me to dissociate rather than integrate. Although the path no longer resonates with me, I am grateful to have spent a decade exploring my shadows and spiritual connection in 12 step recovery. I have started and fallen off a meditation practice several times like a seasoned neurodivergent. My spiritual practices are song and dance, tarot, astrology, reiki, trusting my intuition, and allowing my emotions to deepen and inform me.
My magic is composted out of hard realities, grit, and self-love. I face my pain daily to emerge more radiant and real — because the point of healing, to me, is joy. I rejoice in my chosen family, friends, nature, music, and the light of my inner child.
