Non-dual Counseling
The main purpose of this page is to reassure fellow seekers that you are welcome to explore your own awakening in my office, without fear of being pathologized (e.g., Suzanne Segal's experience, shared in her book Collision with the Infinite). However, we will still work together to ensure that there aren't underlying psychological issues that could best be addressed through western psychological means.
Those of you familiar with non-duality know the the experiential understanding is impossible to describe, but there are some great pointers out there:
"Non-duality is not an immunization against feeling. In fact, it is the opposite: it is unconditional openness, sensitivity, vulnerability and possibility."
- Rupert Spira
"Once upon a time, I dreamt
I was a Butterly, flittering
hither and thither, to all
intents and purposes a butterfly
...suddenly I awoke...Now
I do not know whether I was
then a man, dreaming I
was a Butterly, or whether
I am now a Butterly, dreaming
I am a man."
-Zhuangzi
"There is a Presence that is unnameable
which thought cannot touch.
It is not your possession; it is what you are."
-Adyashanti
"Don't pretend to be what you are not,
don't refuse to be what you are."
-Nisargadatta Maharaj

"If you can sit quietly after difficult news; if in financial downturns you remain perfectly calm; if you can see your neighbors travel to fantastic places without a twinge of jealousy; if you can happily eat whatever is put on your plate; you can fall asleep after a day of running around without a drink or a pill; if you can always find contentment just where you are...you are probably a dog."
