Hi. I'm Birdi
Integrative Spiritual Counselor
and
Wholeness Arts Specialist
✓ Live from love not fear
✓ Hear your soulful voice
✓ We are more together
✓ Beauty is everywhere
I walk with people who carry quiet hurts grief, relationship strain, soul wounds, transitions, identity shifts - and together,
we listen beneath the surface,
to your unspoken stories.
My work blends grounded psychology, spiritual insight, creative inquiry, and compassionate presence.
If you’re seeking clarity, inner steadiness, or a renewed sense of belonging -
you’re in the right place.
I'm glad you're here.
Because no story is too small to matter.
I’ve long been drawn to the spaces between what’s seen and what’s felt.
From undergraduate studies through doctoral research, I’ve explored the intersections of spirituality, sacred dialogue, creative meaning, psychology, and human relationships.
My years of study - and life lived - taught me something essential:
healing doesn’t start when you “clean up.”
It begins when you stop suppressing the ache. When you honor the story beneath the story. When you trust your Self.
So I crafted a different path.
One rooted in Wholeness Arts and Soulful Pauses - a living, breathing blend of
psychology, spirituality, contemplation, creativity, and presence.
And in that space, I witnessed real relief and belonging, just as I have:
people reconnecting deeply with themselves, their relationships, their grief, their path forward.
💡
I do this work because we thrive through whole-being-care, and so you don’t have to sift through pain and changes alone,
so that the world becomes a better place with people who live from their innate sense of
love and connection.
I left home when I was 9.
Experiences like these shape the way we sense safety, belonging, and connection. They shape the questions we ask.
✓ I was not rebellious. I was betrayed, hurt, and searching for better. I trusted my inner Self.
✓ I was not a problem. I knew better than what I was expected to accept. I lived this truth in the best ways I knew how at the time.
✓ I was not safe.It was worth the known and unknown risks for me to take my chances. I stand by my path even now. I learned how to create a safe village, (including within myself).
✓ I was not lazy or looking for an easy out. Nothing about this was easy. I rejected these judgments (and also comforted, bore witness, and advocated for others).
And eventually, these questions shaped my work.
So, what is home?
I’ve spent decades exploring that question - through spirituality, psychology, creative inquiry,
and the lived textures of life. What I learned is this…
✓ The answer is not OUT THERE.
✓ AND - we are never as alone as we may feel.
✓ Like Mr. Rogers' mom said, "In chaos, when you're scared, look for the helpers."
✓ Home is a condition of the spirit. It is within us to experience for better or worse.
We each create and embody our home - our sacred belonging.

Science meets Soul
I believe healing is not head vs. heart. It’s head and heart.
Grounded psychological insight, nervous-system awareness, spiritual subtlety, and creative expression - together.
Presence, Permission, Freedom, Compassion
You don’t have to fix yourself to start. You don’t have to reveal everything all at once. I offer a steady, spacious container where you are seen, heard, anchored.
Relational Integrity & Inner Clarity is important.
Whether you come alone or with a partner, the goal is the same: clarity.
Clearer communication. More honesty. Deeper presence. And soulful connection - with Self, with others, with life.
Who I Work With
I serve people who feel stuck, uncertain, wounded, or in flux.
We process your very human experiences
while in relationship with your Self, with others,
and the world:
🌱 Couples and partnerships (traditional, non-traditional, queer, mixed-faith, poly) 🌱
🌱 Families navigating estrangement, loss, identity shifts, or generational wounds 🌱
🌱 Individuals recovering from grief, loss, spiritual trauma, soul wounds, or life transitions 🌱
🌱 People longing for clarity, self-trust, meaning, identity, and belonging 🌱
🌱 Anyone seeking a grounded, intuitive, trauma-aware, spiritually informed path to engage their sense of wholeness 🌱
What Working With Me Feels Like
Expect kindness, steadiness, and openness - not pressure - and some bits of humor, because that's all part of life.
Our interactive sessions offer room for quiet truths, nervous-system regulation, and heartfelt exploration.
Whether through conversation, contemplative prayer, creative reflection, intuitive guidance, or soul-centered exercises - we meet where you are, and walk toward clarity together.
You’re not signing up for a formula or a one-size-fits-all course.
You’re stepping into a living, evolving conversation
with yourself and your path.
It’s all pretty neato. So, if you come by, the music will be on and my hands will be into something. Please let yourself in, we'll have tea. There's always time and always tea.
