Individual & relationship issues (couple or dyad) ❤️
-
IFS is similar to psychotherapy, addressing many of the same conditions.
-
I partner with Hand in Hand Parenting for childrearing issues. 🧑🧒🧒 Is your child obedient, cooperative, and joyful? Learn how to navigate family dynamics with ease. I roleplay the parent and you roleplay your child.
-
I provide counseling under ORS 675.825(4)(a), which allows alternative counselors to practice legally in Oregon without a 🪪 license. Since I am not licensed in Oregon, I cannot describe myself 🤐 as a psychotherapist. ORS 675.020

In his groundbreaking new book, Joshua Pritikin explores the provocative idea that belief systems obstruct authentic religious experience. Building on James Carse’s foundational work, “The Way” takes this premise to its logical conclusion, offering a methodical investigation into what religion might look like when freed from the constraints of belief.
This transformative book reveals the crucial distinction between religion and belief systems. While rigid beliefs often lead to division, true religion thrives on mystery and openness to the unknown. Drawing from historical examples and world traditions, it shows how embracing “higher ignorance”—knowing the limits of what we can know—creates space for genuine spiritual exploration. For anyone seeking wisdom beyond dogma in our polarized world, this book offers a refreshing path forward.
