My life purpose is to learn to love and be loved. I have always been a spiritual seeker. I’ve been in 12-step recovery since 1993, practicing Insight Meditation since 1995, am a graduate of the Spirit Rock Meditation Center Dedicated Practitioners Program and the Sati Center's Buddhist Chaplaincy Training Program. I participated as a student of the Diamond Approach for almost 10 years. I’ve been lucky to receive wisdom from sacred plant medicines and teachers since 2015 and as a psychedelic journey guide (shaman) since 2023.

To Support You
I’ve been fortunate to cross paths with teachers who have transformed my experience of myself and enabled me to support the journeys of others. I’ve taught meditation at 12-step retreats and sitting groups and served as the Executive Director of the Spirit Rock Meditation Center from 2000 to 2010.

I’ve been fortunate to cross paths with teachers who have transformed my experience of myself and enabled me to support the journeys of others. I’ve taught meditation at 12-step retreats and sitting groups and served as the Executive Director of the Spirit Rock Meditation Center from 2000 to 2010.
My work at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at UCSF and the department of Psychiatry at UCSD, for a combined 10 years, helped me learn much about both of those healing traditions. I have completed Level One IFS training and the Embody Lab’s Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate. I am also a Buddhist Minister and am qualified to perform weddings, memorial services, Dharma blessings, etc.
I’m fortunate to support others in their sobriety through an active volunteer life in 12-step work. My hobbies include biking (nine-time AIDS LifeCycle participant raising over $60,000 to benefit AIDS organizations) and spiritual and medicine retreats.
