I have 20 years of clinical experience in a variety of contexts that involve psychotherapy and testing and assessments. I am inspired by helping others gain insight into their unique strengths and inspirations, as well as their limitations and blind spots in order to transform ways of being, understanding, and relating to one’s self and others. My background studies and experiences are in Western psychology and clinical assessment and diagnosis and Eastern psychology in the fields of transpersonal and spiritual psychology. I enjoy drawing upon and integrating these different theories and strategies of psychology, which I find very effective in guiding others to deeper clarity, acceptance, healing, empowerment, and compassion.
