Beyond Success to Mastery

Clinical Psychology • Zazen Practice • Strategic Mastery

For those who have conquered the external landscape, the final frontier of growth is internal. When you have already mastered your industry, your internal architecture becomes the primary driver of your future trajectory. My practice offers a sophisticated fusion of evidence-based clinical psychology and Zen Buddhist principles—specifically designed for high-impact leaders who demand radical clarity, unshakeable resilience, and a commanding presence.

*Coaching is a specialized, non-clinical service focused on growth and functioning. It does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health disorders.


Science Meets Equanimity

As a clinical psychologist and practitioner of Zazen, I help you bridge the gap between "doing" and "being." We don't just solve problems; we cultivate the mind that encounters them.

  • Clinical Rigor: Leveraging CBT and ACT frameworks to deconstruct limiting cognitive patterns and behavioral loops.

  • Zen Discipline: Incorporating Zazen (seated meditation) and Buddhist philosophy to foster non-attachment, emotional regulation, and a "beginner’s mind" in high-stakes decision-making.

  • Performance Optimization: Refining your focus to operate from a state of flow rather than a state of friction.

Getting Started: The Initial Consultation

The first step is a focused exploration of your current challenges and goals to ensure a high-level fit for this specialized work.

  • Initial Consultation: $200 (30-minute session)

Psychotherapy & Coaching Differences

Psychotherapy

This path is designed for those experiencing clinical distress or functional impairment. It is a remedial process focused on healing and stabilization.

  • Primary Focus: Resolving clinical distress, trauma, and deep-seated psychological patterns.

  • The Method: Diagnostic and evidence-based treatment plans (e.g., CBT, ACT) focused on symptom reduction and recovery.

  • The Outcome: Moving from a state of struggling to a state of wellness and stability.

Coaching

This path is designed for high-functioning individuals who have already achieved significant success but seek to transcend their current mental or professional plateaus.

  • Primary Focus: The expansion of human potential, cognitive optimization, and mental mastery.

  • The Method: A strategic and philosophical partnership focused on performance, high-stakes decision-making, and leadership impact.

  • The Outcome: Moving from a state of success to a state of enlightened leadership and mastery.

Coaching is a non-clinical service. If our work reveals clinical symptoms that require a formal diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment plan, we will discuss transitioning to a clinical framework to ensure you receive the appropriate level of care.
