How about a psychology that includes soul and spirit? See "The Counselor....As If Soul and Spirit Matter," which I edited. Then we can ask what's important? and how does pathology lead on to personal development? The trainings through APANA-services.org are the focus of my work at this time. With my wife Lila, we have authored "The Conscious Wedding Handbook."

Whether you are an individual or couple looking for personal support, or a therapeutic practitioner looking to take your practice to another level of potency, the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Institute guides you in taking your ongoing growth and evolution to the next level. Our goal is to provide you with powerful, cutting-edge information and practices that support you in deeply listening to and trusting your own inner guidance. Each of our therapists draws on the support, wisdom, and interconnectedness of the body-mind-spirit along with that of the natural world in the growth and healing process as they work with you.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, improve your relationship, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you . As a certified Imago Relationship therapist, I offer services for couples, individuals, parents, and families.

Most of the clients I work with recognize the reality of the soul even if they call it something else like spirit or self. Regardless of the name we give it, we often arrive at crossings in life where that core is lost, buried, or suffering. These passages can appear as a loss of calling, old trauma with current perceived threats, unlived life, or haunting night or day dreams. These are painful and troubled passages that sometimes call for a return to adventure, more imagination, trauma awareness and treatment, more depth and belonging, and exploration of how to share our gifts--how to live a more meaningful life.

We'll figure this out together! Get back to baseline and begin to build the life you want to live. I'll help you learn to use your body as a resource for your mind. Beginning with simple breathing techniques & physical movements to aid in emotional management & reduction of stress, anxiety, & depression. For those who are ready, we will do the deeper work of releasing unprocessed emotions & old storylines that may be silently running your life in the background. Thus transforming hardships into wisdom & personal power to propel your life forward in whatever direction you choose.

*Not taking clients at this time* As human beings I believe we all hold the power to heal from within. Be it trauma, grief, identity, or the simple ins and outs of your day to day, I offer a safe space for you to explore and integrate all parts of yourself without judgment. My multicultural upbringing, combined with my education in transpersonal psychology and my background in Yoga has helped me develop a holistic whole-person approach where I work experientially with my clients. I believe strongly in the mind, body, and spirit framework and its healing power when we allow ourselves to tap into our inner wisdom.

Navigating life is a complex and tumultuous process. Every day, we're tugged in myriad directions, confronted with decisions at every turn that ask us to balance relationships, work, self-care, and personal growth. This constant barrage of "shoulds", responsibilities, and pressures in life creates an unrelenting current of stress and anxiety and leaves us worn thin and wondering, "why is it so hard to feel good?" It's no wonder that we find ourselves grasping at food, alcohol, tv, sex, drugs, and social media to relieve this tension. However, the relief provided by such behaviors is temporary and only exacerbates the problem.

You're tired of having poor boundaries, over-focusing on other people, and never feeling like you can fully express yourself. You feel held back by the past, with so many memories that still carry an overwhelming charge. You're smart, creative, and usually pretty on top of it, but right now it seems hard to figure out who you are and what you genuinely want. You're torn between following your passions and seeking stability. This could be a moment of crisis, or it could be a moment of creation. It's time to build a life on your own terms.

I pride myself in counseling the whole person instead of narrowly treating issues. Whatever issues or symptoms are presented, they are connected in meaningful ways to the individual. Greater self awareness leads to more effective self-regulation of moods and behavior. Depth counseling is reaching for the root of one's pain as opposed to snipping at the outer branches or leaves. I liken counseling to detective work in which my clients and I identify clues and follow the trail of symptoms back to the source of original pain, trauma and grief. From there, deep healing is possible.

From pre-conception to postpartum, becoming a mother rarely looks how we expect it to, and the strain between those expectations and our realities leave us vulnerable to feeling postpartum anxiety or depression. The demands on the modern mom feel higher than ever. We are to love and adore motherhood, be excelling in our careers, making magical Pinterest birthday parties, socializing our children, finding the perfect school or childcare provider, cooking healthy meals, having a social life, having a great relationship and sex life, having a clean house. The list is endless, and moms carry the weight of it.

"Without therapists, we are very unreliable narrators of our own stories" (Russian Doll, 2019). In it's simplest form this is the goal for talk-therapy: sharing your life and having someone listen who might even be skilled enough to help narrate your very own unique story. As a clinician, my goal is to walk alongside you and support you to remove self, familial and societal limitations that are preventing you from living an effective and fulfilled life. My approach blends both Western and Eastern Psychology; I integrate mindfulness and meditation into my sessions.

Does life feel overwhelming? Do you find yourself isolating, pulling away, or leading a secret life? Does every conversation with your family feel like a fight? Or do you feel like you know what you need to do, but can’t bring yourself to do it? These feelings are a lot more common than you might think. Learning the skills to navigate and understand these problems can help you develop into the person you want to be.

There is not an ideal client for me, because our individual uniqueness makes us ideal. Rather, it may more appropriate for me to say that I offer empowerment by refocusing our attention on client strengths and desires/ goals.
