I provide transpersonal counselling psychology sessions for individuals, couples, and groups locally, internationally, in-person and online. I guide people to discover compassionate resolutions to their current concerns by integrating contemplative practices from the world's wisdom traditions with leading-edge psychotherapeutic approaches. Having witnessed firsthand the transformations of hundreds of people, I can attest to the capacity of the human soul to transform traumatic losses, transitions, or crises into a sense of greater peace, clarity, and personal agency, when met with presence, empathy, and unconditional acceptance.
I am particularly-passionate about working with parents, young-adults, and global citizens concerned about social/environmental peace and justice because these pivotal life-stages and roles have such profound effects on our collective future. I truly believe our personal healing transforms and benefits the whole world.
I weave together a unique combination of training and life-experience into my practice of counselling psychology: over 25 years of Zen Buddhist mindfulness meditation practice & study of Buddhist Psychology including 5 years of monastic training; Certified NVC Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication; and Systemic Constellations Facilitator.

I often support people with handling difficult emotions, relationship issues (various settings such as family members, spouse/partner, friends, work, etc.), and challenges as parents of children at any age. I support people to resolve their current difficulties which are often rooted in unhealed complex-developmental trauma and help them move in the direction of post-traumatic growth.

My work is integrative and trauma-informed: I draw from elements of Buddhist psychology and mindfulness, Nonviolent/Compassionate Communication, Compassionate Inquiry, the NeuroAffective Relational Model, Gottman Method and Neufeld Approach. Sessions generally invite somatic (body-based) present tense awareness, self-compassion practices and support for identifying your inner and outer resources.
