My Story

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the intelligence of the body and the mysterious ways it carries, communicates, and ultimately reveals the deeper truths of our lives.

This lifelong inquiry led me to a career in spiritual psychology, and for more than three decades I’ve worked as a licensed psychotherapist and trauma specialist, helping others navigate the complex terrain of healing and transformation.

Over the years, I became increasingly attuned to the body’s wisdom — how unprocessed experience lives within us, how the nervous system carries both burden and adaptation, and how emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual life are deeply intertwined. Again and again, I found that when people learned to listen differently, they also began to see differently. And from that clearer seeing, a different way of living became possible.

Alongside my clinical work, I’ve practiced and trained in Tibetan Buddhism for more than twenty-five years, and through my own life experiences, including illness, loss, personal healing, and ongoing spiritual practice, I’ve come to recognize that these journeys, though deeply personal, are also profoundly universal. They remind us that suffering and transformation are part of the shared human experience, and that we are not alone.

At some point, many of us find ourselves standing at a threshold—called to shed outdated roles and identities, question what we were taught to carry, and listen for something deeper that wants to emerge through us. Many of life's most meaningful transitions begin with this kind of listening.

The Listening Body is where I bring these decades of work into writing. Here you’ll find reflections on the body as messenger, dreams as guidance, the wisdom of pause, midlife and identity shifts, inherited patterns, deep listening, and the slow return of inner authority. Together, we will explore what becomes possible when we slow down, pay attention, and recover our capacity to trust the intelligence already at work within us. A living conversation. Grounded. Intimate. Spacious.
