Helping individuals, couples, and groups cultivate greater presence, healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and meaningful lives through counseling, retreats, education, mindfulness, and music.
Those who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, or a significant life transition.
Those who may be seeking greater clarity, deeper connection, renewed purpose, or simply a more grounded and meaningful way of living.
Those who sense there is more to life than simply getting through the day.
Those who want to become more fully alive.
If any of that resonates, you're likely in the right place.
Notice what matters.
Cultivate awareness, presence, and mindful attention that opens us to life.
Live what matters.
Strengthen relationships, build resilience, and align your life with what matters most.
Become fully alive.
Grow in wisdom, joy, purpose, and wholehearted contribution.
There is no single path toward healing, growth, and meaningful engagement. Different seasons of life call for different approaches, but each pathway is grounded in the same intention: helping people cultivate greater presence, connection, and purpose.
Individual and couples counseling grounded in mindfulness, emotional awareness, and compassionate presence. Counseling provides a space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change through deeper awareness, authentic connection, and intentional action.
Retreats create opportunities to step away from the demands of daily life, reconnect with what matters most, and engage in deeper reflection, learning, and personal growth.
More than an instrument, the handpan can be a pathway into presence, creativity, and connection. Through music, learning, and shared experience, the handpan offers a unique invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and engage with life in a different way.

Handpan musician using music as a pathway to presence, creativity, and connection.
Creator of the Awaken Engage Podcast and reflections on Substack exploring mindfulness, relationships, and human flourishing.
My work brings together psychology, mindfulness, education, creativity, and contemplative practice in service of healing, growth, and meaningful engagement.
Over the years, I have worked with individuals navigating life's challenges, taught students and professionals, facilitated retreats, explored contemplative practices, and discovered the unique ways music can foster presence and transformation.
While the settings may differ, the intention remains the same: creating spaces where people can heal, grow, connect, and engage more fully with their lives.
At the heart of Awaken Engage™ is a simple belief: healing and growth happen when we become more aware, more connected, and more fully engaged with our lives.
Whether through counseling, retreats, mindfulness practice, music, or educational experiences, each offering is designed to help you:
cultivate greater awareness

discover renewed purpose
live with greater presence and joy
You don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.
