“Not a single person knows how to make me”
From Goldman Sachs to Psychotherapist to Guide to Consultant and Thinker
I have trained deeply and widely and see my role as an integrationist, bringing together things unusually connected and finding meaning in unexpected places.
At this time in my life I am bringing the personal and the professional together into offerings that support people and organizations in complex and challenging times.
Below is a sampling of the experiences, skills, and trainings that have formed me. For a more conventional presentation of my career, visit my LinkedIn profile.

Honouring the blend of strength and vulnerability that makes us human
Exploration of symbolic meaning through relationships, dreams, nature, and synchronicities.
Many of my experiences and trainings do not fit into conventional modalities and some of my mentors do not wish to be named. Others I have chosen to remove because the lineage is not in integrity and I cannot recommend it. This list is designed to give you a flavour for my life experiences. That being said, modalities are not legitimizers and I do not wish to give the impression that they are.
