Introduction

Emotional and psychological pain is what drives most people to therapy. This pain can show up in our lives in various ways: never feeling good enough, going to sleep feeling lonely or disconnected, being riddled with anxiety, relationship conflict/boredom, or having unhealthy patterns that never seems to go away. Your life changes when you open yourself up to love, transformation and the present moment. When we develop a better relationship with ourselves — with lots of self-compassion — we can live life more fully. My style is conversational, direct, and provides a courages space for assisted self-study.

Television/Radio Appearances: Channel Q Radio, BravoTV, Cambridge, VICE Documentary, FOX 5 News, CBS News, Al Jazeera News, CTV News, TV 2 Denmark, Yahoo News, Oprah Winfrey Network, KPFA Radio.
