Spirituality
Spiritual revelations do not arrive from thinking long & hard about Divinity. They come through silencing our thoughts, moving our ego out of the way, and opening up to the quiet, mysterious, spiritual realm that is always here with us. The world of soul is here and now, superimposed and woven through the world of the five sense. It doesn't take belief. It is Reality itself. You must only learn to see beyond the veils.
“There is another world, but it is in this one."
–W.B. Yeats

Healing
Healing occurs in the mind, heart, spirit, and body. Any system of self-improvement that does not address all of these essential components of the human being is lacking. I believe this so strongly I’ll repeat it: Any attempt to heal only one aspect of yourself without addressing the others, will ultimately lead to imbalance and unhappiness.

I'm happy you're here!
You’ve taken a step toward aligning within your full power and drastically transforming your life.
Whether it's gaining spiritual insight & awareness, deepening your personal relationships,
or healing from past trauma, I'm here to help you follow your intuition's powerful guidance
so you can create a life that fulfills your deepest desires and exceeds your wildest dreams.
I’m doing it for myself, breath by breath, and I’d love to help you arrive, too.
You’re closer than you realize.
My primary gift is to nurture expansion: growth of awareness, peace of mind, love, power, intuitive guidance, creative capacity...
Nothing is more satisfying to me than helping people make breakthroughs to understand themselves and the world around them more deeply. What you choose to do with that newfound clarity is up to you, but I will say: once you awaken the part of you that is able to perceive beyond the illusive veils, it is nearly impossible to turn that insight off again.
So, be ready.
I’m no stranger to transformation myself. My life has been a series of deaths and re-births. I love what the Sufi saint & poet Rabia wrote: “I died a thousand times before I died.” Yes. Me too. Sometimes at the cellular level…other times, it was a portion of my ego dissipating, or old habits and mindsets that were no longer serving my highest development.
Do I have it all figured out? Of course not. As one of my dearest clients says, “It’s a process.” But I do know I’ve devoted my life to climbing the mountain of Truth/Self-discovery/Cosmic Mysteries, and if you, too, feel called to forge a path up that beautiful mountain, I would be honored to be your guide.
I come from a hard-working family in Chicago, though it's been a long time since I called the Midwest home. I’ve lived coast to coast in the States, as well as in Europe & Morocco. I've also traveled to over fifty countries - sometimes to work with spiritual teachers & indigenous leaders, other times to hike through magical forests and climb snowy mountains, and always to observe the world from wildly new perspectives.
I have formally studied at New York University, in Aix-en-Provence France, and at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where I received my graduate degree. Upon graduation, I was invited to teach in the UNLV Honors College, where I am currently an Associate Professor teaching multi-disciplinary seminars. You can find out more about me as a writer & a professor by visiting my sister site here.
Because I've encountered a wide range of relationships, lifestyles, and beliefs in both my personal & professional lives, I've been shaped into an adaptable, open-minded human being, and have seen which truths hold steady for individuals regardless of culture, status, or religious/philosophical imprinting. This awareness allows me to provide clients with a wealth of resources and wisdom gained not only from scholarly research, but also from an array of deeply lived experiences. I feel as if I've crammed at least ten lifetimes worth of living into this life so far. Not to mention, I'm an old, old soul.

My background in spiritual guidance and counseling evolved over decades of intensive shamanic work and focused learning from intuitive therapists, respected spiritual teachers, and indigenous medicine carriers who shared their wisdom, lineages, and direct transmissions with me. I am eternally grateful for the 12-year relationship I've had with my primary healer/teacher (who refuses to acknowledge he is a teacher at all.) He has played a vital role in shaping the way I hold space for both my students and my clients, and has greatly influenced my own guidance style - one that places integrity, alignment, safety, and love at the center. I am also indebted to the Sufi master with whom I studied in France, who first activated my innermost heart. And to the Yawanawa family of Amazonian Brazil for sharing their pure, un-unadulterated, Earth medicines with me. Recently, I also had the privilege of learning from the greatly-understated Dr. John Beaulieu, a brilliant and powerful soul. And, finally, I am grateful beyond words for my most reverent teacher: my Beloved. Our relationship is a continual, profound, sacred dance...and the most transformative spiritual practice I've ever had.
