I’ve spent much of my life studying and practicing various mind-training disciplines. During my travels in Bhutan, Nepal, India, & Thailand, I studied and lived in Buddhist monasteries and developed an understanding of Buddhist contemplative practices in their traditional context. I’ve been most influenced by the Gelugpa, Kagyu, and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Zen Buddhism and Bon. I practiced under Dr. Daniel P. Brown for 10 years before his passing and have also learned from numerous Tibetan lamas and Zen Masters.

​

I also received a master's degree in counseling psychology and was trained as an individual and group psychotherapist. My coaching work draws heavily from my psychological training, and I find it essential to integrate both western and eastern approaches to mental wellbeing. I am particularly interested in Somatic Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Voice Dialogue, Developmental Psychology, Positive Psychology, ACT, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

​

I have also been a lifelong entrepreneur. As the CEO and founder of Healbright, I work with clinical psychologists to make on-demand mental wellbeing programs for corporate wellness platforms. On a personal level, I understand the unique stressors and psychological demands required to run a company. 

​

I enjoy working one-on-one with individuals who are interested in meditation and psychological work. I personalize my coaching approach to the needs and disposition of each client. I seek to both empower and challenge my clients to help them reach their goals and improve their overall wellbeing.
