The Threshold

A guy-wire is a stable cable that helps steady a freestanding structure until it can stand securely on its own. That is what I offer: not someone to carry you, but someone to hold steady alongside you while you find your footing again.

My approach integrates three elements:

• Guy-Wire stabilization — steady, consistent support during life's disruptions
• Formwork — rebuilding the foundational structures that grief can dissolve
• Deep Organ Therapy (DOT) — aligning brain, heart, and gut to move from overwhelm to orientation

I bring personal experience to this work. I lost my son to brain cancer in 2008. I know what it is to stand at the threshold between who you were and who you must become. I have walked the dark too — and I know the way back toward the light.

My practice is rooted in Spiritual Humanism — seeing and serving the Creator in humanity, through the lens of ethics and reason. I am also ordained as a Rev. Rabbi in the tradition of Terran Judaism, a path that transcends any single belief system. My temple is nature. My congregation is all of us.

This means my work is available to anyone of any faith, background, or tradition — or no tradition at all.
