About me

"
As a contemplative psychotherapist and teacher of therapeutic writing, meditation, and shamanic drumming, I provide hope for individuals and families affected by addictions and mental health issues. With years of experience in management, I assist clients in achieving their goals, focusing on self-care, well-being, happiness, and productivity. Known as a leader in innovative meditation, holistic counseling, and shamanic work, my mission is to model what I teach, helping clients achieve healthy recovery, relapse prevention, and profound spiritual transformation.

My engaging workshops and entertaining speaking engagements have helped countless individuals and organizations seeking developmental, transitional, and transformational change. As an early adopter of virtual counseling, I've been delivering online workshops and helping clients remotely since 2011. My writings on grief, resilience, professional self-care, poetry as cosmology, therapy, and wellness have been widely acclaimed.

Philosophy of Care

My journey began with a dissertation on creativity and madness at Miami University and a post-doc at Michigan in teaching technical and professional writing. After a successful career in an unrelated business, I was recruited into hospital administration, medical program development, startups, and rebranding.
