Awakening Into Life
A trauma-informed contemplative and somatic healing style that is deeply rooted in linguistic anthropology, modern psychology, neuroscience, and psychophysiology
Welcome
We are all suffering in some way — suffering at the level of mind, suffering at the level of body, locked in patterns of suffering — our conscious suffering and our unconscious suffering. Our daily suffering and our myriad efforts to dull that suffering.
All of it buried deeply into our developmental arc, arising as past confused for present, and present being a danger — unsafe — it cannot be trusted, no one can be trusted, nothing can be trusted, "I must protect myself at all times" becomes hypervigilance, anxiety, panic, depression, and addiction.
This is what trauma creates when it remains unattended. And it doesn't matter if it's little t or big T Trauma, the end result — the way the mind is shaped, the way the body is taught to react and respond — carries with it the same impact.
My work is simple:
I help you understand why you suffer, why you get stuck, and why it feels so hard to change — not because something is wrong with you, but because your nervous system learned to protect you in ways that no longer serve you.
You don't need to be fixed.
You were never broken.
You just need a way back to yourself.
How I Can Help
I integrate trauma-informed clinical therapy, contemplative practice, somatic awareness, and modern neuroscience into a grounded, relational healing process.
I offer:
- Individual therapy
- Coaching & contemplative guidance
- Psilocybin preparation & integration
- Groups, teachings, and community spaces
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, identity loss, burnout, addiction, or a deeper call toward inner freedom — this work meets you exactly where you are.
A Different Way to Heal
Healing isn't about trying harder.
It's about understanding yourself from the inside out — how your mind works, how your physiology responds, how your patterns formed, and how the parts of you that are struggling are actually trying to help.
This is a very different way of relating to your own experience... all rooted in science
