With fifteen-years of hospice service and eleven years as psychotherapist to address trauma, anxiety and depression, I bring a wealth of academia and experience into the room. And now at 62, I offer a type of psychotherapy that creates space for the spiritual, the mystical, the paranormal, and especially UFO encounter and abduction. How these strange phenomena impact the client's experience, which often can ignite or awaken mental suffering, is my priority. With the right support, the experiencer can find these strange encounters to be quite rewarding.

 

As therapist and spiritual mentor, I also offer fellow therapists training to create a comfortable platform to work with the strange or extraordinary. Entering the Strange is a 12- session mentorship program for novices on the internal world of the clinician. Shifting from traditional therapy isn't easy. However, with a supportive process and lots of patience, therapists can develop a level of comfort to manage the tension between fields and provide experiencers a safe and sacred space to empower their narrative. The Society of Psychotherapy on Anomalous Experiences (SPAE) is an ongoing group for therapists to further educate, process their work with experiencers, and master a level of confidence.

​

Both the mystical or strange offer something that isn't often addressed. We cannot glory in the transcendent or rejoice in meaning-making without looking at death square in the eyes. The mystical and. the strange prepare us for something else, something further. Unfortunately, many of us cut this part of the journey out. But if we can couple our own inevitable last breath with the "something more out there", what we find might surprise us.
