About
Sometimes you don't need a therapist, you need a friend. Maybe your parent, grandparent, uncle or aunt needs one. One good one is all it takes. Like a life coach, therapist, beer-bellied personal trainer, chess opponent, bingo friend—but more affordable, accessible, versatile, and quite possibly more effective. And if you want, I'll teach you how to be a good friend and how to make them without me. I won't judge or shame you. I won't project onto you, and will ask when in doubt. I used to be a very socially-inept computer and gaming nerd, and have grown tremendously without losing any love for my past self or interests. To the best of my ability, I'll listen and find genuine interest in what you have to share, and empathize with you where and when I can. I'm really good at being grounded and grateful, and making new friends and keeping them—no matter how far away we are or how often we communicate—without rushing, faking, and/or fear of fallout or misperception. I speak fluent English and Thai (ภาษาไทย), can converse well in Chinese (中文), and have somewhat poor but almost-functional Spanish (Español). You or someone you know could use a friend. Hire me to hang out with your isolated loved one, introduce me as a friend! Message me. Ask me anything. Give me a shot! Refer someone! What have you got to lose? $100/30 min, $175/hour. The 1st hour on our first session is FREE. It's about building trust.

Smitti is a delight to share space with. He’s a great listener and also has unique and challenging questions that help me work through whatever I’m caught up on. I’ve never walked away from a conversation without new insights. Thanks Smitti

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I've reinvented myself time and time again. Having grown up in East Los Angeles, I spent five years in Irvine, California obtaining a college degree in Computer Science only to move to Guangzhou, China to teach English for three and a half years before becoming a professional musician there for the remaining four years. I moved to Thailand after that to manage a scuba diving resort for a short period, then moved to New Orleans where I was based for thirteen years. My profession has for the most part been full-time musician, but I've supplemented my work with carpentry, teaching, property management, and short-term rental management. I have supported and backed up hundreds of musicians as a bassist, both on electric and upright, in almost every style of American popular music. My entire life has been throwing myself in situations outside of my comfort zone and finding a way to ground in it--if not the first time, then as soon as possible. In addition to where I've been based, I've travelled the world many times over, spending over half a month or more in places like London, Berlin, France, Thailand, China, Colombia, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Korea, Mexico, all over the USA, and more! I'm better than anyone I know at being grateful, and not judging and/or shaming you.
