A personal greeting
Hi there! I'm Tony. My life's passion has become to help people like you find joy and meaning, even in the face of life's extreme challenges. I believe in the inherent wholness which each person has and the ability for our bodies to heal. With this in mind, I find it meaningful and fun to explore, grow in, and work with a range of mind and body approaches to unlock your potential and elevate to your next level.
My journey to this work has been shaped by diverse experiences - from serving in Operation Enduring Freedom to teaching English as a Second Language in rural public schools in Asia, to experience as a Seeker, as an artist and musician, a trauma therapist, parent, and more. I'm deeply influenced by nature, multiculturalism, the unknown, punk culture, and integrative medicine. This unique blend allows me to offer a truly whole-person approach to wellness and helping you experience change that is authentic and natural for who you truly are.
As a trauma therapist, I pioneered the use of trauma therapy approaches in nature by developing the first published use of EMDR as a nature-based approach (Therapeutic Fly Fishing & EMDR (TF-EMDR)℠). I have always believed in the healing power of Earth itself to truly balance and integrate people into the fullest versions of ourselves. I understand life's ups and downs firsthand and know how challenging it can be to stay centered and grow in our chaotic world. But, I've also seen the incredible resilience of humanity in so many people who I have worked with! That's why I'm committed to helping you connect with your truest self and harness all of your inner strength and wisdom, to thrive and experience life as you are meant to know it.
Whether you feel like a prisoner to the results of unknown past experiences, are seeking personal growth, or looking to thrust your best self into the unknown future, I'm here to support and guide you. Together, we'll create a tailored approach that addresses your unique needs and goals, helping you move experienve a life of deeper meaning and freedom.
Let's embark on this journey of healing and discovery together. I'm excited to help you unlock your potential and create the life you desire.
