At the deepest level, I am you. And you are me. And we find ourselves in this bizarre, beautiful, traumatic, Wild West experience of consciousness together. My individual route of sailing these waters has taken me to many far-off lands, and I've collected some artifacts worth sharing along the way. I'm something of a polymath, and I'm passionate about weaving the breadth of my studies and experiences together to help others cultivate understanding, self-love, creative expression, and genuine healing.

My formal education concluded at the University of Connecticut, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I have special interests in Jungian Psychology and Logotherapy, with extensive knowledge and sensitivity surrounding neurobiological processes that contribute to mental health conditions. My other academic interests include the study of Integral Theory and various schools of Eastern and Western philosophy.

My lifelong informal education encompasses over a decade of disciplined spiritual practice and varied esoteric side quests. I grew up surrounded by ritual in a home where Italian folk magic, divination, and regular spells to ward off "malocchio" were commonplace. In my teens, I discovered meditation and became a regular practitioner. I trained in Transcendental Meditation (TM) in New York City in 2015 and have sat in retreat for Vipassana (insight) and Metta (loving-kindness) practice at the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts. I also have 15 years of yoga practice and undertook my yoga teacher training in Los Angeles in 2021 with Cheri Rae Russel in the direct hatha lineage of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya.

In 2021 and 2022, I completed extensive coursework in Tropical Western Astrology, instructed by Candace Marie O'Neil, graduating at the top of my class. Since 2021, I have joined guided journeys and intuitive workshops led by Marcella Kroll, who has been a mentor. In 2024, I completed training in Shiva Murti energy work facilitated by Jero Jason. This profound, tantra-based healing modality is just making its way to the West by way of Bali with the blessing of the high priest Ratu Nabe.

I have also explored personal healing, self-development, and deeper inquiry into our true nature while working with master plant teachers. Under the guidance of Nicole Derseweh, I have deepened my understanding of the healing process mediated by entheogens and empathogens while exploring space-holding, energy work, and trauma-informed support in ceremonial settings.

In our sessions, I marry the sum of these experiences to empower you to rise fearlessly and bloom into the present moment with sovereignty.

In addition to these offerings, I maintain a dedicated writing practice and enjoy discussing the creative process. I am also an avid space nerd, and I love all things related to astronomy, cosmology, and the origin/evolution of the physical universe.
