With over 15 years as a psychotherapist and 20 years as a meditator, I’ve found that traditional psychotherapy and concepts of ‘mindfulness’ and ‘healing’ often fall short of guiding us to inner peace and wholeness. While many contemporary treatments help people improve, or decrease suffering, achieving a state of true healing and wholeness—a state free from suffering and deficiency—remains elusive. Though averse to identity boxes, I can share that in my role as a nerdy psychotherapist, I show people how to process deep trauma, how to see where their thoughts have gotten distorted, and how to bring self-compassion to embody emotions. In my role as a teacher, I help people find their way back to themSelves. I arrived at what my work looks like now by undergoing psychotherapeutic training in many modalities. In my personal process, I practiced Vipassana for about 15 years before training in shamanism and Reiki. As a natural skeptic (and a person temperamentally aversive to any system that asked me to “believe”), I realized that as soon as I was able to let go of the need to label what I do and how I do it, life became limitless. I’ve been awed and humbled to see what flows through me. Ultimately, the one path I orient to is the path of the heart. I invite you to walk this path with me.
