You are a spiritual being having a human experience *

As a seeker, you intuitively understand the innate intersection between mental health and what is beyond the physical world. You see and feel the need for expanding beyond the conventional. You are curious to explore the deep parts of yourself through non-conventional ways. You want to unearth your wounds, and plant seeds of wholeness.

Everything in this universe is interconnected. Psychotherapy does not need to be severed from your connection with Spirit. In fact, you are never separate from your Spiritual Self. There is no “Spiritual life vs. normal life”, it’s simply life. Your visions, insights, and intuition, are an important aspect of our psychotherapy sessions.

The magic & wisdom is within you, you are holding the key. It has always been there.

As a spiritual psychotherapist I see through a shamanic lens. All is interconnected through Spirit; and everything has a Spirit. Further, I integrate various aspects of yoga philosophy, hypnosis, psychedelics, and shamanism into traditional psychotherapy. I offer as much of my knowledge as you are willing to receive. Read more about my Shamanic approach to therapy below.

The etmology of the word “shaman” originates from the Tugus people in Sibera, šaman. The word means “to know”, “the ones who knows”, and “to see in the dark.” Overtime the word became Shaman and was applied to anyone who provided healing in to their community.

I want to be clear, I am not claiming to be a shaman. Nor I am not here to make you a shaman. That is between you and the Gods. I am a simply psychotherapist with a deep relationship to Spirit practices and a lifelong student of shamanic studies.

Psychotherapy with me is just that, psychotherapy. I do not provide shamanic healing, and I will not ‘see in the dark’ on your behalf.

There are tools & practices that can be interwoven into psychotherapy that are shamanic by nature. The intention of bringing this practices forth is to help you to become “the one who knows” thyself; and for you to know and be guided by your intuition.

If you choose, I can teach you how to find your power animal, connect with your ancestors, meet your helping Spirits, explore your dreams, journeying to different parts of yourself, and connect with elemental Spirits (plants, water, earth, fire).

This type of psychotherapy is guided by your intuition, desire, and openness.

I have chosen to dedicate myself to walking this path throughout this lifetime. Thus far, my deepest shamanic studies have been with Andean Cosmology & Nordic Shamanism. That does not mean that you are limited to only exploring these in your therapy sessions. I support any prospective you bring forth.

With reverence & respect for the origins, I invite these practices & prospectives into our sessions.

Ancient practices have the ability to allow us to “see in darkness” of our own souls. It only seem natural to couple this with psychotherapy, don’t you agree?

 FAQs

  • Put simply: depth.
    The world teaches us to be linear and that has echoed in our systems of healing. Choosing a shamanic path means opening yourself up to your intrinsic healing abilities, ancestral medicine, and expanded consciousness. This is not taught in graduate school, nor in any certificate program for psychotherapists.

  • At this time only KAP sessions are available for in-person. There is an office space that I have access to in Peekskill, NY on the weekends and an office is Ossining, NY on Wednesday and Thursday.

    All other sessions are done virtually for right now unless requested.

  • For the most impactful changes, a weekly session cadence is recommended. If you are seeking even more depth, you can integrate therapy intensive’s with your weekly sessions.

    Bi-weekly sessions are only recommended once we begin to see the impacts of our work turn into fruition. I will never recommend bi-weekly sessions to start as it slows down the process significantly.

    If there are financial concerns, my first recommendation is that we meet 3x a week rather than 4x to maintain momentum.

    I do not offer a monthly sequence of sessions. I do not believe that monthly is truly committing to the work and is more of just “check-in’s.” on
