My Integrative Approach
at The Awareness Practice™

We start with You and Your World
and get curious together.

Then, following an initial evaluation process, we co-create a roadmap for you to move toward your self-determined goals.

My integrative approach—emerging from my intellectual legacy, training, and experience— draws upon the literature, the protocols, and the evidence-base in a customized way. The Awareness Practice™ is an overarching, proprietary methodology that coherently synthesizes these diverse tools into a personal, bespoke experience—not one that is cookie-cutter or one- size-fits-all.

Our work together involves a warm, deeply collaborative yet purposeful and intentional exploration of your life's canvas.

Our Frameworks For Awareness.

Our work, yours and mine together, is informed by a wide array of established frameworks, custom-tailored to what is clinically or strategically indicated for you in the context of your unique landscape. From this rich selection of resources, we can weave a vibrant new landscape with a fresh horizon, a dimensional tapestry of bespoke proportions.

My comprehensive toolkit to help us reframe your experiences is informed by but not limited to:
