What is my background?

I’m a psychologist with a background in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, currently working in psychological assessment. My professional training continues to inform the way I meet people: grounded, precise, and attentive to psychological integrity. Alongside this work, I have been devoted for many years to meditation and contemplative practice, with a particular focus on the direct recognition of non-dual awareness.

I am also a certified facilitator in the system of Effortless Mindfulness, developed by Loch Kelly. This approach offers direct, accessible pointers to shift from effortful attention to an already awake awareness, emphasizing glimpses of non-dual presence that can be integrated into everyday life. In addition, I have received extensive one-on-one supervision from Peter Fenner, whose work in non-dual inquiry and dialogical awakening has deeply influenced the clarity and precision of my facilitation.

What is my approach?

My approach is guided by a simple but profound recognition: fulfilment is inherent to Awareness itself. This Awareness—sometimes called Emptiness, Pure Being, the Self, or Buddha-Nature in various contemplative traditions—is not something to attain. It is the aware presence that you already are. The purpose of our work together is to recognize this ever-present freedom, become familiar with it, and integrate it into ordinary life.

There is no rigid path to this recognition. Our meetings are dynamic and responsive to where you are. You are free to bring any question or topic that feels alive and relevant. At times we explore through dialogue; at times we rest in effortless presence; at times we gently examine the beliefs and fixations that seem to obscure what is already here. The atmosphere is safe, grounded, and often light. I will not push you in ways that feel psychologically destabilizing. Respect for your own wisdom and well-being is central to how I work.

Over the years, I have drawn inspiration from diverse contemplative traditions, including Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Chan, Advaita Vedanta, and Christian mysticism. While these traditions have shaped my understanding, I do not adhere rigidly to any single framework. My way of working is pragmatic and experiential, emerging directly from non-dual realization itself and naturally incorporating insights from both traditional and contemporary approaches.
