What's My Approach to Therapy?
I studied Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology at Naropa University. My approach to this work is relational, somatic, psychospiritual, and creative. If you are seeking inner development, growth, and freedom, I might be able to assist you on your journey.
Sometimes it's hard to see exactly what's causing our suffering when we're so close to it, and having a relationship focused on our personal development can be very impactful. That's how I see this work. Our focus is your well-being and together, we create a relationship container to help you become more aware, compassionate, and true.
I work with couples and individuals and have a strong focus on mindfulness and emotional intelligence. You are seen as a whole person who has the wisdom and capability to uncover and be with exactly what you need to grow. This we do together! I assist people in integrating their spirituality with practicality, a tall task that is well worth the challenge.
I would love to hear from you. Please reach out, and let's talk about what you're looking for. Take good care.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Couples Work & Relationship Issues:
My own family and intimate partnership are my greatest teachers in this area. The closer we get with someone, the more challenging the relationship becomes. Our deepest patterns, fears, and hurts show themselves fully. This is both why relationships are so challenging and fruitful. I love working with couples trying to deepen their connection and live into a more harmonious union, people struggling with family issues, and those looking for more aligned and supportive friendships.
Men's Work:
Men have a unique challenge in this country. We have been given so much and it has made us emotionally weak. At the same time, we receive resentment from gender identity groups who have not materially benefited from patriarchy like us. We need to feel our pain. We need to acknowledge and own our shortcomings and ignorance. We need to ask for support. And we need to find our true backbone in the integrity of our Hearts.
