I trained in Psychology and Law at Harvard University, the University of Oxford, and Monash University; and completed specialist clinical training in Gestalt psychotherapy. I have also trained in extensively in Eastern contemplative traditions, particularly Buddhist vipassana meditation and Advaita (non-dual) traditions. I specialise in working with clients who are walking a path of wholeness and integration, personal development, spiritual awakening, self-actualisation and transcendence. Many of my clients are sensitive souls called deeply to a way of being beyond traditional societal expectations and narratives.
This path often requires integrating healthy anger, refining boundaries, working with shame, releasing chronic freeze and restoring nervous system flexibility. We also work to reinstate the body-mind's innate capacity to process/release stagnant emotion and energy; this process is critical to resolve anxiety and depression symptoms at their root.
I also specialise in working with clients to integrate spiritual experience, including kundalini awakening, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and dark night experiences. If you resonate, you are very welcome to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
