BUDDHIST INSIGHT FOR CLARITY AND BALANCE

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


If you would like to use the wisdom of Buddhism and  psychoanalysis to understand yourself deeply...


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

Then talk to me...
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 personal inquiry or you have experience with meditation or therapy, I provide methods 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 twenty-five years of Zen practice and teaching, plus fifteen years of clinical psychology practice.

Confidential, expert, one-on-one inquiry work to deal with stress, change, old wounds, and addictive behavior.

Starting and developing a personal inquiry practice 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've reached a spiritual impasse or crisis of faith and want one-on-one help to work through it.
  • You'd like expert help in understanding and working through an addiction to alcohol, marijuana, or sex.

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 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 your inquiry into your everyday life of relationships, work, and creative projects.
  • 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 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.
