EXPERIENCE

I have a Bachelor's of Science and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. My Master's studies were based on Jungian theories, and healing the psyche through the archetypal process. I began my counseling career working with cancer patients and their families. I then moved into emergency psychology, working in hospital settings before shifting into being a first responder with the police in Colorado. Eventually, this lead me to working as an addiction therapist at a drug and alcohol rehab center. During this time I also continued working with individuals and couples in private practice.

 

In recent years during the Covid-19 pandemic I have been doing more work with people experiencing Burnout, Depression and Anxiety, and specifically with a diverse international community. With that I have also shifted more towards coaching as many of my clients have been focussing more on shifting and achieving their goals. This has now become a large portion of my practice. 

 

My formal education and personal journeys eventually lead me to do trainings in world religions and deeper levels of meditation and spiritual insight. Over the years I travelled to India to listen to the Dalai Lama, hiked with Hindu monks in the Himalayan mountains in Nepal, went on a spiritual pilgrimage on The Camino De Santiago, and attended a number of advanced meditation practices with world leaders in the field. In 2019 I received my ordination in Universal Worship.

​

While none of these experiences alone drive my practice, they have added significance and insight to my understanding of others and influence my work process.  

ABOUT ME

I am a US native with South African parents, now residing in Amsterdam. I spent my childhood living in Atlanta, Georgia, and traveling around Southern Africa, Western Europe, Canada and Israel. Along with this travel I also grew up in an international community, as I  attending the Atlanta International School. These formative travel and international interactions have had a marked impact on the man I have become. I have also found myself inspired by my journeys to India and Nepal.

​

I was introduced to the world of therapy, at age 11, when my parents split up. I would likely have lost my way completely had it not been for this early intervention as I was acting out, regressing, and throwing tantrums. Working with the therapist was a crucial element in getting through that time. Over the years I have gone back to therapy to explore myself in more depth. In addition both my mother and sister got master's degrees in the therapeutic field and then my mother went on to get her PhD in East West Psychology. During all this time my father continued with his own therapy and delved into the world of Jungian Psychology. To say that the conversations with my family were psychotherapeutic in nature is an understatement. While I was searching for an area of study in university I kept taking courses in psychology as this was an area of study that I already knew quite a bit about and came quite naturally. In the end I would say I found the vocation of counseling and coaching as much as these fields have found me.

​

In my spare time I am an avid painter and art lover. I also love hiking and spending time out in nature. I spend a part of every day being creative and embarking on something that replenishes my sense of self and purpose. I also build this into how I work with others, having them spend some of their time everyday doing the same.
