I am an ally, counselor, teacher and guide.

I create Integral based, psychologically- and emotionally-informed programing for individuals and groups working in partnership with trusted psychotherapists, wisdom teachers, lineages and healers. I have a Masters degreee in Integral Psychology, where my research interests were in contemporary psychodynamic/relational theory and contemplative approaches to psychospiritual development and healing. I am interested in the dialogue between Western, developmental models and mindfulness-based, meditative methods of inquiry and practice as well as transpersonal and non-ordinary states of consciousness. 

My passionate interest and focus is whole-self integration. I Have a particular interest in how spirituality can serve as a defensive function, the ways spiritual beliefs and practices can be used to avoid unresolved emotional wounding. I am passionate about exploring  this phenomenon, its adaptive and maladaptive expressions, how practitioners might cultivate a greater awareness of it, and the nature of an integral response.

My work incorporates developmental theory (psychodynamic, attachment, and intersubjectivity) and contemplative, meditative, and mindfulness-based approaches to personal and interpersonal growth, emotional healing, and transformation. Over the last 35 years, I have trained extensively and thoroughly in foundational psychological and wisdom traditions, methodologies and practices.
