Therapy that Fits Your Reality
This is a place for what's actually true—not what sounds good or what you think you're supposed to say.
Sean Lewis
Your life shapes therapy, not a template, not a single method, not my assumptions about what you need.
Whether you're trying to break cycles you can name but can't seem to escape, or wrestling with questions about what makes life meaningful when everything's changed, you'll get support that responds to what's present in your life.
If spirituality matters to you, we can integrate it throughout our work. If you'd prefer to focus exclusively on evidence-based psychological strategies, that works too. You decide what belongs in the room.
I bring clinical training in Counselling Psychology and Divinity alongside direct experience in ministry, skilled trades, and the military.
This combination offers a grounded understanding: I've worked with people through crisis and transition, operated in high-pressure environments, and learned what genuine support requires when life doesn't fit neat categories.
In practice, you'll get personalized care built from proven therapeutic methods - an approach specific to your life that honours how your psychological, physical, relational, and spiritual realities connect.
How I Can Help
Whatever's bringing you to therapy deserves serious attention. These are the areas where I can help.
Stress & Burnout
When you're running on empty and can't remember the last time you felt like yourself, something needs to change. We'll identify what's draining you, explore what boundaries might look like for you, and rebuild capacity without just adding "self-care" to an impossible list. This isn't about optimizing productivity; it's about reclaiming your life.
Intrusive Thoughts & Rumination
Intrusive thoughts, mental loops you can't escape, or obsessive patterns that keep you stuck in your own head; we'll work to understand what's beneath the noise. Through exposure-based and cognitive strategies, you'll develop skills to manage overwhelming thoughts, reduce their power, and find relief from the constant mental static.
Grief & Loss
Loss changes everything: identity, faith, relationships, the future you expected. There's no timeline for this, and I won't rush you through it. We'll honor what you've lost, navigate the disorientation and isolation, and help you carry grief without it carrying you through every moment. This isn't about "moving on", it's about learning to live with what's changed.
Life Transitions
Career changes, relocations, becoming a parent, leaving faith, retirement; transitions crack open identity and leave you unsure of who you're becoming. When the ground shifts beneath you, we'll navigate the disorientation together and help you rebuild a sense of self grounded in your actual values, not just the roles you've outgrown. You'll find clarity on the other side.
Spiritual & Existential Exploration
Questions about meaning, purpose, mortality, or what matters when everything else falls away; these aren't side issues, and they don't get pathologized here. We'll explore existential concerns, spiritual questions, or the search for significance with both psychological insight and theological literacy. Whether you're wrestling with doubt, facing your own finitude, or rebuilding what you believe, your questions get taken seriously.

Depression & Mood
Whether it's persistent emptiness, irritability, or numbness that's taken over, we'll work to understand your specific experience and address what's keeping you stuck. Together we'll rebuild daily structure, reconnect with what matters, and challenge the thoughts and patterns that keep you isolated and withdrawn. You'll learn to recognize the early signs and interrupt the cycle before it takes over.
Relationships & Connection
Repeating conflicts, communication breakdowns, or feeling disconnected from people you care about; patterns show up for reasons. We'll examine what's happening beneath the surface, explore your attachment patterns and how they shape your relationships, and build skills for healthier connection. You'll learn to identify your role in cycles without drowning in shame about it.
Anxiety
Racing thoughts, constant worry, or panic that won't let up—we'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety and build practical tools to calm your nervous system. You'll learn to recognize patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and create space between trigger and response so you can actually choose how to move forward.
Trauma & PTSD
Past experiences that still control the present deserve careful, paced attention. Using trauma-informed approaches that work with your nervous system, we'll help you process what happened and reduce symptom intensity. My job is to provide steady guidance while you do this work at a pace that feels manageable; survival mode doesn't have to be your default anymore.
Family of Origin Work
Old family patterns don't stay in the past; they show up in your relationships, your parenting, and how you see yourself. Whether you're dealing with current family conflict, setting boundaries with parents, navigating estrangement, or noticing generational patterns playing out in your own life, we'll untangle what belongs to you and what doesn't. You'll learn to respond rather than react.
