About Me

I have received extensive training from The Tracker School in New Jersey and the PAST Skills Wilderness School in Bozeman, MT. I received my B.A. in Environmental Studies from Prescott College in Prescott, Arizona. My passions have led me into the studies of primitive skills, native philosophy, and the practical applications of these skills in modern society.

Over the years,I have taught survival skills to groups of all ages. My commitment: drawing students deeper into the mystery of the outdoors and connecting them with their natural environment. Years ago, I worked in wilderness therapy at the School of Urban and Wilderness Survival (SUWS). As a head field instructor, I led groups of teens that were dealing with addiction and behavioral issues. For two weeks at a time I lived with these groups day in, and day out, sleeping on the ground, teaching survival skills, trekking great distances, carrying out therapeutic objectives, and inspiring teens to take on a new direction in life. Affected by the tremendous progress I saw in wilderness therapy, I was motivated to seek out the most effective healing methods I could find. My search led him to the Hypnotism Center of Western Montana, a school accredited by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE). I undertook the intensive hypnotherapy training program and internship taught by Roberta Swartz. The background in wilderness training and prior therapeutic experience proved to be an immense advantage for becoming a clinical hypnotherapist.

I is constantly amazed with the speed and effectiveness of hypnotherapy. It is a transformative process, and exciting to be a part of people’s lives in a meaningful, positive way. I approach each client with acceptance and optimism, while tailoring the therapeutic style to fit each individual. My unique background gives clients immediate, practical tools for permanently improving their lives.
