About Silent

I sit with people in the places they cannot take anywhere else.

For over forty years, I have practiced as a Pagan and a witch. I am a priest. I am an end-of-life doula trained through INELDA. I am a spiritual director who works across traditions- Pagan, Heathen, Druid, Wiccan, Thelemic, and beyond- as well as with seekers from the Abrahamic faiths and those who claim no tradition at all.

I work with a small number of people at a time.

Not because scarcity is a strategy, but because this work requires my full attention, and I will not divide it.

My ethics guidelines are here

What I Do

Spiritual direction is not therapy. It is not coaching. It is not advice.

It is a conversation where someone tells the truth about what they are living,  the questions that don't fit anywhere else, the grief that hasn't been named, the interior life that has no audience, and I listen for what the Divine is doing in it.

I don't explain your tradition to you. I don't evaluate your practice. I am not here to teach, convert, or optimize. I am here to sit with you in the room where the real questions live, and to ask the ones that help you find your own way forward.

As a death doula, I companion people and families through the threshold of dying. That work has taught me something no certification can: how to be present when there is nothing to fix and no one to perform for. 

I bring that same presence to every conversation, whether the subject is death, purpose, faith, transition, or the silence between them.

Where I Come From

My path began in Brooklyn, where a childhood in the Jewish community raised more questions than it answered. School lessons in mythology opened a door. The Satanic Panic closed every other one. I walked through the door that was left.

At nineteen, An Morrigan claimed me. She is the Celtic Goddess for whom Ireland is named. That encounter changed everything, not gently, but decisively. I formed a coven. I studied sigils, ceremonial magick, ancient texts, and the emerging Pagan communities of the early internet. I buried friends. I buried my brother. I kept walking.

Over the decades, I built a career in global business, digital strategy, payments infrastructure, and technology transformation across three continents. I spoke at the World Economic Forum and the Parliament of World Religions. I sat in boardrooms, and I sat at deathbeds. I learned that the interior questions executives carry after midnight are not so different from the ones a seeker carries into ritual.

Today I am a priest of Eris. In practical terms, that means I work with disruption as a sacred teacher: helping people find clarity, courage, and ethical action in moments when the old systems no longer hold.

I maintain deep devotional relationships with Hekate, An Morrigan, and Inanna. My practice draws from Wiccan, Sumerian, Hellenic, and Thelemic traditions, not as a survey but as the accumulated path of a life lived within these mysteries.

I serve as President of Pagan Pride in Washington State. I work with interfaith partners and Pagan communities across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
