Here's an in-depth description of our Work together
Addressing every level of being
Every person has a unique path, however, we have more commonalities than differences. Each moment is fresh and every session is designed to meet you exactly where you are at. The following are possible approaches we will explore together.

Meditation & Mindfulness
I have nearly 20 years of experience teaching meditation and mindfulness. Self-inquiry is a crucial part of the psychotherapy process and these practices will serve you in expanding the awareness of, and compassion for, your moment to moment experience of life.
To say these practices are meant for stress reduction and relaxation is a vast oversimplification and leads people to believe they “aren’t good at meditation” or “aren’t doing it right” when they struggle with quieting the mind or experiencing a deeper sense of peace and relaxation.
The westernization of these practices often dilutes their central purpose, to discover the true nature of self and reality and break free from the cycle of suffering.
Meditation and mindfulness can be tailored to fit your goals. Whether you are seeking the ultimate realization or you’d simply like to experience more peace in your life, we will utilize these practices in a targeted way to support you with reaching a deeper level of stability and contentment in your life.
Spiritual Awakening
Enlightenment. Is it some mythical tale or an achievable lived reality? The mysitcal branches of every major religion talk about it and more and more people are getting a taste of it through the proliferation of meditation practices and psychedelic ceremony.
I define spiritual awakening as the realization and embodiment of our true nature, which is nondual consciousness, or “oneness.” I also call it god. It’s something that can happen instantaneously but is also a never ending process.
This isn’t poetry or metaphor. It is a practical realization that changes how you experience and inhabit in your self and your life. Many therapists shy away from making such proclamations about the true nature of reality, but for me, this can be an essential part of the healing and growth process. Can be. It doesn’t have to be, but we will go wherever there is curiosity and resonance.
For more on nondual consciousness and spiritual awakening, and how it applies to the psychotherapeutic process, you can check out my podcast The Art of Becoming Whole on most major streaming platforms.
Sexuality
Sex is an often shamed and hidden aspect of the human experience. Between constant overstimulation, excessive screen time, societal conditioning, and porn, most people have a skewed relationship to their sexuality that often leads to dissatisfaction, numbness, and conflict in relationship.
Not only is it one of the most profound sources of connection and enjoyment in life, but its roots touch on your creativity, confidence, voice, and embodiment. Due to trauma, familial dysfunction, codependency, and attachment wounding, we can either be too focused on giving and making sure the other is having a good time, which disconnects us from our own sense of desire and boundaries, or we can be too self-centered, wanting only to fulfill our desires no matter how it may impact the other.
We will explore whatever the particulars are for you and how you can come into alignment with the movements of your desire whil paying attention to and communicating clearly about the dynamics taking place between you and your partner(s).
Sex can be an incredible doorway to deep healing and growth, if you are open to going there.
