If you are a woman ready for more happiness, more peace, & a greater sense of choice, I am here to guide you on your way. Your depression, anxiety, or relationship challenges may be signals that something greater is around the corner. If they persist, though, it’s a good time to find someone who can re-orient you so that you’re on the path of a joyful life, a life of intention, a life where empowerment and “yes!” are within reach. I work with women who feel even just a slight spark of knowing that this path might be available. We may start with mindfulness & how to cope with the effects of trauma and depression so you can thrive.
I have moved through spirals of grief & big challenges. I've gotten to a place of inner joy & strength that carries me through the really difficult times. I integrate expressive arts & Spiritual practices from all over the world, i.e. guided meditations, sandplay, dreamwork, & grounded shadow work. I bring skills from my 25 years as a licensed therapist.
If any of this resonates, even if your logical mind feels fear or hesitation, I see a potential transformation for you. I know it’s scary and overwhelming sometimes. You may not consider yourself “spiritual” or "creative & you might just want the pain to go away. I get it! If a solid & positive integrative approach sounds good, I'd love to hear from you!

Grief Rituals

Kathryn Buys
Hosted by
Kathryn Buys

Many are experiencing multiple losses at this time. I offer a simple yet powerful ritual to help process grief. I can personalize the ritual to fit in with your religious beliefs and I find this helpful for people of all backgrounds, whether "spiritual", "religious" or not. This takes place online or in person depending on our comfort levels. In person rituals can take place anywhere in the US! I am located in San Pablo and there is no extra charge for work in the Bay Area. Rituals range from 1-4 hours. Prices listed are total cost per hour.
