Who I Work With

I help those who’ve been lit up by the fire of devotion, but are unsure of how or where to direct this energy.

I help those who yearn to connect to to the earth, so they can feel free in the space where there is no ground.

I help those who would benefit from the supportive structure of dharma and sangha so they might recognize themselves as the Buddha.

  • You’ve studied and practiced deeply but still feel isolated on the path.

  • You’re seeking guidance beyond commercialized classes or generic “all-levels” workshops.

  • You long for a teacher who can meet you with clarity, wisdom, and presence.

  • You’re ready to participate in a practice community that is authentic, alive, and relational.

If this sounds like you, I would love to learn more about you. Please, tell me more about yourself.
