Having provided individual psychotherapy for over a decade, it has become abundantly clear that mainstream clinical approaches do not lead to liberation. Psychotherapy assists people in working on a self that doesn't exist, yet suffering is linked to this self, and creates distress and dis-ease. The present moment is empty and light, an eternal flow state that's bursting with awe. We can feel cut off from vivid lived experience, when we are mind-identified and stuck in the thought world. Psychotherapy can be useful when noise of the false self is loud, exhausting, distressing. We address all unfinished business, integrate the shadow, make the unconscious obsolete as all is invited into conscious awareness, and set our own selves free. I facilitate lovingly and earnestly, but you are the guru now. You heal yourself and I hold the container.

Mis-identifying with both pleasant and unpleasant identity boxes creates walls of delusion, a fog, and it isn't real, but can feel distressing when believed to be true. Breaking out of every identity box paves way for Awareness to "come to". As identification with the story of me and my life fades, true nature dawns. There is nothing to do to be what you truly are. It is an undoing. Pain is a portal to your freedom. Anything distressing you is the path to freedom. Freedom is here, now. Your awareness goes in and out. I will assist you in breaking down the walls that reify the story of me and my life, and imprison you. The result? Deep, spontaneous, joyful flow in the here and now, a basic felt sense of okayness that emanates from the core of your being, and a falling away of the separation between what you take to be you, and all of Life itself.

What are you afraid to see, what are you afraid to say, what are you afraid to feel? We will face every fear together, through a process that aids you in discovering and connecting to your True Nature. Infinite Awareness holds all with compassion and honesty. Infinite Awareness is what will accelerate your awakening, and come to be experienced as what you are.

What is your True Nature? It can't be thought or described. Let's dive in, and experience!

I utilize a compassionate, honest approach, getting straight to the heart of the matter by way of the Living Truth present in the here and now.

Life is not a healing journey. We deal with the noise in the mind causing suffering. Our True Nature is always there, though the False Self sure causes a stink and pulls us through a maze of mirrors. Life is meant to be lived in the only present there is...healing ends. Clarity shines through, effortlessly. Live awake.
