Your life, conscious and empowered.
Welcome. I am a clinical psychologist and spiritual guide. In addition to my clinical practice of Jungian psychotherapy, I provide transformative coaching to people around the world.
My work focuses on self-actualization as a lifelong process of becoming conscious. It is partly informed by a life-changing spiritual awakening in 2006 -- which brought deep inner stillness, energetic opening, and greater insight.
Since that time I have centered my approach in Jungian psychology and Western spirituality. The insights I offer are based not only on my own life but on extensive experience guiding hundreds of clients through every kind of life issue --- from the most practical to the most subtle aspects of consciousness.
I help people understand themselves from the most basic aspects of their personality type, to the more archetypal dynamics that call us to greater conscious and integration. In my work with men especially, I support the arising of an empowered and masculine consciousness that allows you to stand for truth and higher values in a generally effeminate and relativistic spiritual culture that leads you in circles. I welcome you to be in touch.
The Human Condition - a Depth View
If you've been told that your suffering comes only from thoughts, false beliefs, or the ego, then I'm here to tell you that’s not true.
​
Emotional pain arises from deeper roots --- trauma, relational wounds, developmental gaps, addictions, and ingrained personality patterns. Negative thoughts are symptoms, not causes.
As suffering cannot be reduced to thoughts or “the ego,” (whatever that means), it cannot be cured by detaching from thoughts. Healing comes through growth, and growth is a transformative experience. It involves internalizing empathy, gaining insight, and integrating the personality.
Meditation can help, but many spiritual teachers mislead when they say suffering ends by recognizing awareness. Awareness alone cannot mend the fractures of the psyche. Many people are highly aware and intuitive, but they still suffer deeply. They tend to split a polished spiritual identity from the messier, ordinary, or distorted parts of themselves, dismissing these as ego.
No one is beyond their humanity. Transcendent experiences don’t make us into angels. Real healing arises through the sustained experience of connection, self-knowledge, and empowered living.
A spirituality that reduces suffering to thought or ego leads us away from the sacred work of knowing ourselves. Transformation happens when we honor our complexity, bringing consciousness to what is unconscious.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
- Carl Jung​
​​The great adventure of our lives is to become a conscious, integrated, and self-actualized person. I help people with the practical aspects of this process, which involves working with our psyche in our daily lives and relationships. ​
​​
Whether you are in search of emotional healing, personal empowerment, or higher consciousness, I can help you understand the deepest themes of your life and experience transformation.
I do this through a professional, mentoring relationship that honors who you are on all levels. If the usual tips and tricks of the therapy and spiritual marketplace are not working for you, I welcome you to reach out for a deeper approach. ​
