About Rebirth Unlimited Counseling

What if you are not a problem that needs to be solved? What if instead you are a mystery to discover?

My approach to therapy is to accompany my clients in exploring the deeper mystery of their true self and in tapping into their innate healing power.

I guide clients exploring personal and spiritual inquiry, psychospiritual integration (e.g. post-psychedelic experiences, meditation practices, near death experiences, spiritual emergency, values alignment, embodiment) and post-traumatic growth. I also welcome clients processing religious trauma, discrimination trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, isolation, and recovery from narcissistic abuse.

My therapeutic framework aims to integrate body, mind, and spirit. I collaborate with each client, adapting tools such as mindfulness, somatic interventions, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Gestalt therapy to support growth, empowerment, and deep healing. Above all, I believe in the transformative power of showing up — fully, honestly, and with compassion.

Prior to becoming a counselor, I worked first as a molecular biologist, then as a software engineer. Although I found both fields interesting, I found that my real passion was exploring how my own mind worked and healing the false body-mind-soul split. The more I discovered, the more passion I felt to share that experience with others.
