Why I do this work
Each of us desires to live full, inspired, and connected lives, yet we often encounter obstacles. Fear, confusion, and alienation can hinder our ability to live as we wish. These challenges may stem from our upbringing, painful experiences, or various other circumstances. Regardless of their origin, I've found that life's difficulties present opportunities for healing and growth. Feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and heartbreak signal a need for introspection. Therapy provides a dedicated space for this exploration, grounded in the understanding that everyone is capable of healing, developing a clear and inspiring life vision, and fostering healthy, loving relationships. This journey requires patience and effort but can lead to profound transformations in relationships, careers, self-perception, and overall life vision. I believe that with dedication, individuals can transform their life experiences.
What Our Work Together Looks Like
My passion and calling are to help people revitalize their lives. I begin with genuine care and curiosity: Who are you? Who do you aspire to? What kind of life are you yearning for? What's standing in your way? Your dreams and aspirations form the foundation of our work together. I engage in a collaborative and heart-centered manner, offering honest and direct communication. If you're seeking significant change, healing from heartbreak, or a renewed sense of purpose, please reach out. It would be an honor to support you.
My Path to This Work
My work as a psychotherapist reflects my values, purpose, and life experiences. I earned my formal education in clinical psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. However, much of my education comes from personal exploration. Over the past two decades, I've delved into Vipassana and Dzogchen meditative traditions, worked with healing plants and entheogens, and engaged in my own psychotherapy. These experiences have profoundly impacted my self-awareness, connection to others, and sense of responsibility. As a husband, father, brother, and friend, I'm committed to helping individuals maximize their lives and relationships. This commitment drives my work.
