Appreciating beauty, wisdom, and the potential of life on this awe-inspiring planet is essential for holistic wellness.
I am inspired to live in harmony with nature and to develop my creative potential as a compassionate and integral human. This journey aligns with the principles of natural law, recognizing that morality is encoded into the universe and can be discovered by everyone once we release our attachment to man-made laws and religious dogma.
Understanding that moral responsibility and the spirit of stewardship for our world are at the core of our human potential is crucial for personal growth. This awareness can be enhanced through psychotherapy and trauma-informed therapy, which support our journey toward self-discovery and healing.

We all seek to thrive...to live life at its fullest through holistic wellness.
Thriving means living up to our potential as co-creators in the universe, embracing natural law principles.
Thriving means finding happiness that comes from living in harmony with nature.
I don't mean happiness as an ephemeral, transitory mood state, but happiness in the context of life satisfaction, well-being, emotional, intellectual, and physical health, moral alignment, integral living, community connection, and flourishing.
Thriving is our birthright.
To reach our human potential, we require freedom. This freedom results from living a life based on universal principles and morality.
We can learn to be free... From where we are now as a society, the road to freedom will take concerted effort and some level of sacrifice... and it's worth it!
Freedom offers us the opportunity to fully express our unique selves and live without debilitating states of depression, anxiety, gluttony, and addiction. Working for freedom now, through personal growth and psychotherapy, is an act of courage that will help increase the odds that future generations will thrive too! This work is our divine purpose!
Our potential is severely limited though by the conditions of chronic stress and unnatural trauma caused by coercion, oppression, and violence. These conditions literally change our minds.
Unless we take charge of our thoughts and behaviors and how we interact with each other, our brain state will decline and our health will deteriorate.
The potential exists for peace and harmony among people, yet we are leagues away from this in our current reality. Instead of thriving, we are suffering and declining.
Sadly, we are complicit in this decline and in the withering of our spirits and declining health. We are demonstrating the lack of knowledge and skills necessary to thrive.
The bottom line is that we are not victims of circumstance. We are indeed collaborators... Collaborators in bad relationships and participants in immoral social structures.
I call in a world where we achieve authentic freedom through facing our inner conflicts, reconciling our traumas, releasing cognitive dissonance, and aligning our actions with truth.
We will then recognize our interconnectedness to nature and all living beings and act accordingly with a spirit of true care.
And then we will THRIVE!
