Hypnotist?!?

Yeah…also known as an integrative change coach. Why? Because we work directly with your subconscious mind to get the changes you want.

This is deep, collaborative, peer-to-peer coaching.

Together, we figure out what you want and how you want to feel, dismantling the hesitancies and hang-ups that don’t serve you, so you can take each tiny step, or leap, into a life you dream of living—right from the start, from the first session and beyond the last.

I came to this work wanting to figure out how to change my brain, and instead learned how powerful, dynamic, resourceful, loving and fully whole our brains already are, even when we’re a little different, even when there are specific things we want to change, but somehow keep doing, or feeling, or experiencing.

When we finally see how we can make these shifts—what all the tools and recommendations, podcasts and gurus tell us, all the cosmologies, all the bluster and “efficiencies” and imperatives we hear—when we understand how all of those practices work and aim for the exact same result, while dropping the noise—we make these changes easily, with profound results.

You will find relief, understanding, hope, love and conviction, so you can imagine, define and live a life you want to lead.

We have an entirely new understanding of how the brain works now: how it’s constantly renewing and shifting, new cells and connections made everyday, no matter how young or old you are, no matter your experiences, no matter your genetics. Interrupting tired, unhelpful neural synapses to create new ones that support and bolster what you really want is called neuroplasticity—the repatterning of thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors—all of which are habits and open us to worlds of possibilities. Your freedom, choice, creativity and determination drive my excitement and passion in my work with you.

Want to know more about me specifically? I’m an artist and trained landscape architect and city planner, and now integrative change worker. I’ve designed gardens for over twenty years, went to esteemed schools, worked at some fancy firms, saw shrinks for most of my adult life, and am vice-president for a park conservancy. I’ve served the public realm for ages because I love and value civic spaces, plurality and equity. Maybe you do, too? If you’re an artist, designer, writer, leader or reader, curious about lots of different things, think science and history are really fucking cool and beauty makes life worth living, then reach out, we’re already simpatico.
