About Me:I have long been drawn to the points at which a life stops making its usual kind of sense: after a loss, during an identity shift, inside a relationship, or in the wake of an experience that is difficult to explain. These periods can be disorienting, but they can also reveal what ordinary life has kept out of view.
The route I took to this work was not especially straight. I was born in South Africa, spent part of my childhood at sea and the rest in Texas, and worked for close to two decades as a professional musician. Those experiences shaped my interest in creativity, identity, uncertainty, and the many ways people construct a sense of home.
I am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Texas and a Ph.D. student in Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. My research interests include consciousness, transformative experiences, non-ordinary states, existential uncertainty, and how people learn to trust the unknown.
My manner is warm, curious, and engaged. I am less interested in fitting people into predetermined categories than in understanding the particular shape of a life: what has formed it, what no longer fits, and what may be trying to emerge.
Description of Services:Some experiences divide life into a before and an after. A psychedelic or mystical experience can do this. So can grief, parenthood, creative awakening, the end of a relationship, or the quiet recognition that a life that appears successful no longer feels entirely one’s own.
I provide online psychotherapy for adults and couples, with a particular affinity for creative people, deep thinkers, and those whose lives do not follow conventional scripts. Many of my clients are outwardly capable but find themselves facing questions that achievement, insight, or willpower alone cannot answer.
My approach brings together narrative, relational, somatic, and transpersonal perspectives. We attend not only to symptoms, but to meaning, identity, the body, relationships, and the stories through which experience becomes understandable.
I also offer psychedelic preparation and integration therapy. I do not assume that an unusual experience is inherently pathological or inherently revelatory. Instead, we make room for what actually occurred—including what was beautiful, frightening, ambiguous, or resistant to easy interpretation—and consider how it might be carried into ordinary life.
Sessions are offered online to clients located in California and Texas. I do not prescribe, supply, or administer psychedelic substances.
