It has always been my desire and greatest purpose to be of service to others.

My early life was very challenging. While difficult, those experiences put me on a path of introspection and discovery, leading to an exploration of philosophical, psychological and spiritual concepts.

At age 11 I received full Surat Shabda Yoga meditation initiation by an energetic and enigmatic teacher. Additionally, I have the continuing honor of studying and working with many exceptional contemporary teachers.

While passionate about learning and study, I've learned practicing the ideas and formats of others can never bring me the sense of originality and exhilaration I long for. I want the fundamental sense of ownership which comes with honest, subjective self inquiry followed by disciplined, objective action. I focus on the models I am taught and personally integrate them. By combining the physical, philosophical and spiritual, I am better able to see the living wisdom of my own unique life, and better value the individuality of my client's needs and desires. I am the filter through which I perceive the world around me. I believe it to be my responsibility to manage and take of that filter.

My personal integration directly affects my ability to experience the world I live in. I choose my path, and you can too. I've built these lessons into the foundation of my continuing education and counseling practice.

It is my sincerest desire to assist you in determining your own course of action, in your own way; your path to personal, transformative integration.
