One-on-one contemplative coaching for people at any stage of a life that doesn't quite fit — grounded in honest inquiry and rigorous practice.

At 21, I was living a life that looked fine from the outside. A relationship. A job. A place to live. And I was miserable — settling for all of it, surrounded by people who kept telling me I was doing great.
Then I lost the job. We moved to Las Vegas. I took a job in motorcycle sales, bought my own bike, and got on an eight-lane highway. I don't remember what happened next. I woke up in a hospital with broken orbital bones, a broken jaw, a handlebar that had been removed from my thigh while I was unconscious, and no memory of how I got there.
"This is not why I survived."
That voice showed up in my recovery and never left. Within a year, I left the relationship, left the job, and moved into a tiny apartment in San Diego — so small I kept my clothes in the coat closet.
That's where something became clear. I wasn't the only one. Almost everyone I knew had found a way to make peace with a life that didn't quite fit — and had learned to call that peace maturity, or practicality, or just growing up.
My practice is rooted in an interspiritual faith — the recognition that no single tradition holds a monopoly on the real. I am a Murid initiate in the Inayati-Maimuni Order and a facilitator at Charis, a foundation for interspirituality and new monasticism. These paths share a single commitment: direct encounter with what is actually true, beneath the noise of constructed identity.

"I wasn't the only one. Almost everyone I knew had found a way to make peace with a life that didn't quite fit — and had learned to call that peace maturity, or practicality, or just growing up. I am here because I believe something else is possible. Not transformation. Just clarity. And the discipline to live from it."
How We Work Together
Three ways to begin — each shaped around honest, unhurried attention. No packages, no upsells. Just the work that's needed.
Not sure which is right for you?
Start with a free 20-minute call →$85 · 90 minutes · one time
A single conversation for those at a threshold — navigating a transition, a question, or something they haven't been able to name yet. No commitment required.
What you'll leave with is a different angle on what's already true. Not a solution — a shift in how the problem is held.
$95 · per session · 4–12 sessions
Ongoing one-on-one work for those who want to go somewhere specific — through shadow material, a meaning crisis, or the construction of a life that actually fits.
Progress isn't linear. What is guaranteed is honest company, consistent attention, and a space where the real thing can surface.
$80 · per session · structured series
A structured introduction to meditation, awareness practice, and the philosophical frameworks that make them meaningful. For those who want a practice, not just a technique.
You won't leave enlightened. You'll leave with something more useful — a practice that is genuinely yours.

There's no wrong way to start. A few sentences about where you are is enough.
