About / Scope

The heart of my coaching practice is rooted in a deep confidence in human wholeness. I can help you access your intrinsic healing intelligence in ways suited to your circumstances.

Background

I specialize in integrating insights from therapy, meditation, psychedelics, and other mind-expanding practices. My approach is grounded in neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, and a dedication to awakening that lasts beyond peak experiences.

I base my coaching approach on current research on human well-being. The Plasticity of Well-Being is a framework developed by UW-Madison's Center for Healthy Minds, which describes four dimensions of well-being that you can develop like skills: Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose.

Training and approach

I draw on training in meditation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassionate Inquiry, Buddhist psychology, embodied immediacy, and nature immersion. I work with a process-oriented method that guides individuals through progressive stages: Settling, Seeing, Growing, and Integrating.

Scope of this practice

This is a coaching practice, not a clinical or therapeutic one. For a plain-language explanation of the difference — including when coaching is the right fit and when it is not — read Coach, not therapist.
