About My Clients
Whatever type of dissatisfaction or suffering that is happening inside you, we will work together to tend to grief and trauma, find forgiveness, let go of the past, rediscover your gifts, reconcile resentments, and reconnect with joy, well-being, compassion and fulfillment.
My Background and Approach
For over 20 years, I have been dedicated to the healing potential and power of nature connection experiences and therapy. I have worked extensively with a diverse set of communities all over the world. I hold an MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Wilderness Therapy from Naropa University and have served as an Executive Director, University Lecturer, and Therapist supporting individuals, couples, and families in both workshop settings as well as in his private practice. My work is informed by Gestalt, Somatic, Experiential, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Transpersonal philosophies as well as nature-based healing. As a father of two, I love surfing and camping with my family and playing basketball in my free time. I currently have a private practice and Ketamine Clinic in Scotts Valley, California and am a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute in collaboration with MAPS.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I view therapy as a collaboration where therapist and client work together to connect with an inner healing intelligence and unconditional positive regard within each of us. We can then tend to trauma, grief, resentments, and limiting beliefs that are contributing to symptoms. With humility and reverence for the resilience, courage and vulnerability it can take to heal ourselves, I create a nonjudgemental, kind and compassionate space with room for humor, absurdity and fun. I integrate healing modalities from various wisdom traditions that awaken our physiological and emotional connective systems in collaboration with the natural world. This process can help clear historic trauma and family of origin wounding that is reinforced by a mass cultural amnesia. I draw from evidence-based client-centered modalities including Transpersonal Psychology, Ecopsychology, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, Family Systems and Somatic approaches to healing.
