PSYCHOTHERAPY AND MEDITATION
FOR HEALING AND SELF-INQUIRY

SLOW DOWN...CONNECT...SO YOU CAN SHOW UP FOR YOUR LIFE


If you would like to use the wisdom of meditation, plant medicine, and   psychoanalysis to understand yourself deeply...


Or if you are dealing with change, stress, dis-ease, relationship struggles, or spiritual distress...

Then talk to me...
My specialty is the clinical applications of Buddhist meditation and depth psychotherapy. I help people grappling with difficulty in their lives use the best of the wisdom of East and West to gain deep insight, make lasting changes, and heal old wounds so their lives have room for connection, joy, and meaning.

Let's make your mind and your relationships a source of rest and inspiration for you.
It really is possible.

Whether you're new to psychotherapy or you have experience with meditation or therapy, I provide an environment for insight, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of how to sustain a clear and vibrant mental and emotional life without stagnation or addiction, as well as the clarity, connections, inner process, and skills to move you forward in developing flourishing relationships. All based on thirty years of Zen practice and teaching, plus twenty years of clinical psychology practice.

Confidential, expert, one-on-one therapeutic attention to deal with stress, change, old wounds, procrastination and depletion.

Starting and developing the journey of self-knowledge takes time, skills, focus, intention, and a lot of help along the way! I will fully support and guide you in this process, as well as empower you with emotional skills, self-knowledge, and spiritual practices to establish or deepen a lively personal inquiry practice. I will be your sounding board, spiritual advisor, and constant support.

WHO IT'S FOR
  • You are dealing with the disruptions of change or loss, and would like help finding a still place inside.
  • You want to truly understand yourself so you can deal with whatever comes your way.
  • You would like to stop cycles of difficult relationships and move toward trust and intimacy.
  • You would like to move from emptiness and fear toward a life that feels nurturing, alive, and authentic.
  • You are ready to move from emotional reactivity and chaos toward steadiness and clarity.
  • You feel that if people really got to know you, they wouldn't like you.
  • You're a meditator who has discovered that emotional healing is necessary too.
  • You'd like expert help in understanding and working through chronic procrastination or overwork.

I CAN HELP YOU
  • Slow down and connect with your basic goodness, wisdom, and compassion.
  • Banish self-criticism, judgment, guilt, and doubt.
  • Understand and shift repeating difficult relationship patterns.
  • Become truly successful by clarifying your values and uncovering your creativity.
  • Heal old wounds and traumas that continue to disrupt you (even if you don't know it).
  • Expand your palette of mental and emotional habits to access clarity, kindness, and creativity.
  • Create more balance in your life by making personal inquiry a priority.
  • Integrate psychedelic experience into everyday life.
  • Work with dreams that arise and inform the direction of your path.

HOW IT WORKS
  • Call me or email me to let me know how I can help you. We can have a brief phone consultation.
  • We will have an initial 50 minute meeting to clarify your intentions, obstacles, and vision for your personal inquiry work. We will also mutually decide if we want to meet again.
  • Depending on your situation, I often suggest four initial sessions so we can get to know each other and mutually decide if we are a good fit.
  • I do both time-limited and depth inquiry work; we will tailor your experience to your needs.

WHAT"S REQUIRED OF YOU:
Personal inquiry work requires an active commitment from you to move your life to the next level. Expect to spend time each day in reflection. I meet with people a minimum of once a week. If you are not ready to commit time and energy to this process, it's not the right time for us to work together.

WHAT"S NEXT?
Schedule an initial appointment to see if we are a good fit.
