With my unique education, qualifications, and experiences, which include Western psychology and psychotherapy training alongside Eastern healing philosophies and practices, I offer an opportunity to connect mind and body in an integrative and holistic way not often provided or readily available in the mainstream. ​ Growing up in a conventional Western society, which unequivocally favored science over spirituality and mind over heart and instinct, I always felt like there was a crucial aspect missing in traditional counseling and therapy. While I certainly value, trust, and utilize conventional science, education, and practices, I have always been drawn to seeking a more holistic understanding of humanity. I quickly discovered that I am not alone. There are so many people who, like myself, want the training and knowledge that comes with a Western psychology and counseling degree, but also crave more meaningful, spiritual, and collective therapeutical experiences and deeper understandings of themselves, others, and our world that conventional Western therapy, alone, can't provide. ​ The work I do, which is largely inspired by providing that balanced and holistic therapeutic experience, is so much more than just a job to me; it truly is my life's passion. From my own personal experiences in conventional Western therapy and Eastern spiritual counseling, I believe that the strongest counselors and healers are those who have experienced their own challenges and struggles and, therefore, can truly empathize and relate to the people with whom they work. Above all, I always coach and counsel from a place of understanding and compassion. I feel it is my role, as a helping professional, to meet every individual wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them as they forge their own unique path.
