Biography

In 1978, I found myself at Harvard University, struggling to reconcile the traditional western perspectives of psychology with a more holistic approach to spiritual awareness. With the gracious support of the department chairman, we co-created a personal study program that enabled me to embark on what was to become my life’s work — understanding human potential and soul consciousness, and applying this to practical and contemporary applications of personality development.

Over the next 40 years, I studied psychological models and the world’s spiritual traditions, traveling across Europe, India, Asia, and the Americas. My goal was to distill the core teachings and practices from these diverse cultures and organize them into a holistic health model for soul embodiment, or for actualizing the True Self.

I began to apply these techniques through a wide range of counseling and consulting services, writing a book and teaching about integrating holistic consciousness into parenting practices, and into enlightened business leadership.

I integrate the recent neuroscience of relationship and attachment research into my comprehensive understanding about the impact of childhood developmental trauma on identity formation, beliefs and behaviors. After four decades of applying this cultivated wisdom into my personal and professional life, I am confident one can rewire their self- identity to be an expression of their true nature, if they do the inner work with guidance they trust.

I have lectured throughout the United States at conferences, hospitals, health centers, and universities and I have been featured in a variety of international media. I offer my work through online teleseminars and my own coaching/consulting/counseling services.

What has emerged is a private practice with a group of uniquely intelligent high-achievers who deeply desire to live an authentic life. This includes CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs of all ages who have experienced a level of professional success, yet lack creative joy, inner peace and self-awareness. I’ve created a highly-customized and effective program for helping these individuals discover who they are and what they really want to do for any stage of their life.

I also work with those who are just beginning a conscious path to create their life as an expression of their authentic self, and have no understanding how to do so efficiently and effectively.

The clients who benefit most from my approach are those who are willing to examine their historic limiting patterns, and consciously choose to become their True Self. My success with these clients has been the inspiration for my True Self Consulting/Counseling programs.

I live in the San Francisco North Bay area with my partner, where we live an ever-evolving authentic relationship – with our self, each other and our daughters.
