About Me

My deep passion is supporting people on the journey as they seek healing and wholeness for themselves and others. In my work as a spiritual director, I am most excited about helping people build joyful, grounded, and sustainable spiritual lives. As a therapist, I work from a relational perspective to help clients improve their mental health in pursuit of healing and flourishing in their lives.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Maine and ordained clergy in the United Church of Christ. I have also practiced Zen meditation since 1999. I hold a certificate in interfaith spiritual direction from The Chaplaincy Institute, a Master of Divinity dgree from Pacific School of Religion, and a Master of Social Work degree from Smith College School for Social Work.

I am a white, settler, cisgender, queer male. I am committed to the ongoing work of decolonization and dismantling white supremacy. I seek to understand the ways racism and colonization cloud my spiritual life, spiritual direction and therapy practices, and my vocational call.

I currently spend my time between Bangor, Maine, in traditional Penobscot territory, and Oakland, California, in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people. While I love Anchor Steam beer (RIP) and The Smokehouse, you’ll always win me over with some clam chowder and an Allagash White.
