Music has always been my passion. I began as a classical flutist, then specialized in early music, built historical instruments, and curated a major flute collection at the Library of Congress. Music didn’t just give me a career; it shaped how I listen, how I learn, organize my world, and how I make sense of complicated things—so they become clear, usable, and shareable.
Yoga followed—a deep dive into Eastern thought, especially Svaroopa® Yoga, rooted in the ancient texts of Kashmir Shaivism. I earned my certification as a teacher and later joined the institute’s training staff.
Then a life crisis brought a turning point, and I found myself catapulted into the world of psychology. Through an eclectic modality called Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), I found relief, and also a passion to study what drives human thought, behavior and belief, informed by classical psychological theories and the quieter, deeper intelligence of the heart. I went back to school, earned the requisite credentials, built a private practice, and served as Co-Director and Director of Training at the AIT Institute. I’ve been in private practice for more than two decades now.
If there’s one thread through all of this, it’s a lifelong love of harmony and balance—the desire to be truly “in tune,” with myself, others, and the world around me. My work now is about helping people to make lasting change—so they can live with more peace, authenticity and contentment.
