My work is devoted to supporting others to come home to their true nature.‍ ‍

Hello! I am a meditation teacher, psychospiritual counselor, educator, and lineage carrier in the Ashaninkan traditional healing practices (of Peru).

I see each person's journey to wholeness as part of the collective journey — individual healing as collective liberation, unfolding toward a life-affirming, regenerative society on this planet.

My path has drawn me into deep practice, including more than three cumulative years in silent retreat, and fifteen years of apprenticeship in the Amazonian medicine tradition, where I continue to train in Peru each year. For over twenty years I have been devoted to contemplative practice, including Zen meditation, yoga, and ongoing study of the Diamond Approach. This path has been a journey of heart and a deep curiosity to understand healing, meaning, and what it is to be fully alive.

Alongside traditional training, I hold a Master's degree in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies with a focus in ecopsychology. I have also completed studies in the Hakomi Method, Relational Somatic Healing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and the Hendricks Method. My clinical approach is somatic, relationally oriented, and grounded in the wisdom of contemplative traditions.

My ongoing inquiry lives at the meeting point of these worlds: What truly heals us? What do modern psychology and ancient earth-based medicine each know, and what becomes possible when they work together?

As a counselor and guide, I work with individuals and groups to heal past wounding and uncover deeper clarity, wisdom, capacity, and love to bring to their relationships and work of service. My clients include CEOs, tech founders, systems innovators, community leaders, creatives, and mothers and fathers who care deeply about the planet and what we're leaving for seven generations. What they all share is a readiness to go beneath the surface, to meet their shadow, tend their wounds, and discover our shared boundless ground of truth and interconnection.

I teach coursework in ecopsychology, traditional healing, and meditation, and write and speak on earth-based and systems-based psychology — how we find deep ground and guidance to lead soulfully through chaotic times. I also advise projects in psychedelics, community building, and culture creation. I am currently writing The Art of Ceremony, a book on the inner practice and outer craft of holding ritual. This work weaves earth and mind, self and community, back into one living whole.

I spent my childhood playing in forests, where I developed a deep love for listening to Nature's intelligence. That connection has guided my path ever since through intuitions, visions, dreams, and spiritual quests. I live in in the coastal hills of Marin, CA, where you’ll often find me trail running, playing music, and making mischief.
