ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!

 

Hi! I''m Esme, a trauma-informed spiritual director, therapist in training, and aspiring good-enoughist. I love holding space for those who are deconstructing their beliefs while overcoming religious shame, church hurt, and spiritual trauma. I take a deeply affirming, whole-person approach; offering Spiritual Direction through a non-religious, trauma-informed lens and with underpinnings in somatic (body) awareness, integrative parts work (IFS), and therapeutic art.​​

​​

EXPERTISE:

  • Childhood Trauma & cPTSD

  • Religious Trauma & Deconstruction

  • Stress, People Pleasing, & Perfectionism

  • Life Transitions & Self Discovery

  • Chronic Illness & Burnout

  • Autism & ADHD

  • LGBTQ+

 

Friend, this the safe haven you've been longing for. As a trauma informed Spiritual Director, I'm deeply aware of how religious shame & trauma can affect our ability to draw close to God and keep us from becoming our best, most authentic self. Because of this, I created Drawing Close as a sacred, healing space for self-discovery and soul searching. Here, every part of you belongs and is approached with openness, curiosity and compassion.

Esmé invited me to show up as I was in that moment. I didn't need to pretend to be feeling something or to be someone I wasn't. Esmé held space for my anger & grief in a way that I feel required so much courage on their part.
