I am a Life Mentor

In addition to being a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York–I have been training in the Chan/Zen tradition of meditation and mindful living for the past 20 years. For 11 of those years I was a monk, living a life of discipline and service, and mentoring people along their path of self-exploration. I was the director of a retreat center, and I’ve traveled around the world and studied closely with Zen masters, leading and engaging in numerous meditation retreats, group leadership, and one-on-one mentoring. (More about me…)

Based on the Chan/Zen mindfulness model, I have developed a method of training and mentoring called “life practice”. I gave it this name because I believe that any real positive transformation in one’s life requires a complete adjustment of all aspects of living–from our mental state to the way we relate to others and our environment.
