A contemplative approach rooted in Buddhist Psychology and the ancient tradition of mindfulness as a path to awareness, understanding, and compassion. This practice involves gently turning toward your present-moment experience with curiosity and non-judgment—allowing sensations, thoughts, emotions, and insights to arise and unfold in their own time. Mindfulness-based inquiry supports deep inner listening and a growing trust in your own innate capacity for clarity and healing.

Studying the body’s sensations, movements, and patterns as a source of wisdom and healing. When combined with mindfulness, this approach helps clients tune into the wisdom of their bodies and release tension, emotions, and energies that may be holding them back.

Early relationships shape our nervous systems and attachment patterns, influencing how we relate to ourselves and others. These patterns aren’t just psychological—they’re encoded in the body and brain through repeated experiences and adaptive survival responses developed to protect us. In this approach, the safety and attunement of the relational field can provide a supportive context to revisit old emotional memories and update them with new information. Over time, this allows outdated patterns to shift and makes space for new ways of connecting with yourself and others to emerge.

Engaging with different aspects of the self with curiosity and care. This approach recognizes that we are made up of many inner parts—each with its own emotions, needs, and history—and that healing happens not by forcing change, but by building compassionate relationships within. By creating space for these parts to be seen, heard, and understood, we foster greater internal harmony and a more integrated sense of self.

Addresses the spiritual and ecological dimensions of the human experience, exploring how a sense of connection to something larger than ourselves—whether that be nature, spirituality, or a feeling of universal oneness—can provide meaning, healing, and transformation. This approach integrates spiritual insight, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and peak experiences, honoring both the material and transcendent aspects of healing.

I acknowledge the impact of past and ongoing traumas—including developmental, cultural, and ancestral traumas—and prioritize creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered. This approach recognizes that trauma can be stored in the body and may surface during deep exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness, even for people who may not meet the criteria for a clinical diagnosis like PTSD. I am equipped to help clients navigate these experiences in a way that promotes healing rather than re-traumatization, ensuring they have the tools and support they need to feel secure and grounded throughout their journey.

Finally, my practice is also rooted in a harm reduction philosophy, which acknowledges the prevalence of cannabis and psychedelic use in our society and promotes safe and responsible use practices. This approach is designed to reduce the potential for psychedelic harm and maximize potential benefits through education, integration, and guided experiences.
