Research & Publications

My academic and creative work sit at the intersection of psychotherapy, culture, and transformation.


I am particularly interested in how healing and growth emerge through experiences that bridge consciousness, embodiment, and meaning-making.


This page highlights my recent research, publications, and creative works that reflect this ongoing dialogue between practice and inquiry.
