Introduction: I am a licensed physician, practicing psychiatrist, psychotherapist and relationship counselor with 14 years experience. I am also a former neuroscience researcher, meditation teacher, yoga instructor, and translator of ancient Sanskrit manuscripts.
I can offer a variety of perspectives ranging from the biological, psychological, interpersonal, familial and trans-generational, as well as spiritual perspectives on seeing the patterns and obstacles in your life, re-establishing links to your deepest intuition and affecting durable, lasting change that begins from the inside out - rather than the outside in.
I am excited to discover your goals, help you actualize real change in your life, and witness you manifest a new, lived (and loved!) reality. I love the expressions of joy as clients begin to recognize the full extent of their personal power, resources and social networks - which invariably far exceeds anything they had ever expected to discover!
As a licensed psychiatrist and psychotherapist you will have full access to a skill set I’ve acquired through 14 years of practice with thousands of clients. In the role of Life Coach, rather than using these skills to offer mental health counseling, I have re-purposed them as powerful tools for identifying personal & inter-generational patterns as well as overcoming internal obstacles.
I can also assist in areas of spiritual development, understanding and integrating spiritual experiences, experiences and insights gleaned through deep meditation, rituals or other practices, epiphanies, dreams, psychedelic experiences, and insights gleaned through the use of plant teachers or plant medicines in other contexts.
If desired, I also offer (via a separate contract) an option for concierge medical consultation on a variety of health-related issues as well as pharmacogenomic testing for medication sensitivities. This feature allows you to have your own personal, on-call medically-saavy consultant as part of your coaching package!
****How to know if you need coaching or support from a mental health professional? Therapy work tends to be for individuals with some level of depression or mental health issue. When a person has physical symptoms, such as a sore throat or a persistent cough, that interfere with daily life, they should see a physician to diagnose and treat the problem. Similarly, when a client is experiencing mental health issues (i.e. a condition that prevents an individual’s mind from working normally like depression), we should refer them to the appropriate professional for diagnosis and treatment. Mental health issues are outside a coach’s scope of services. (*Note that these guidelines are adapted from the International Coach Federation)
