My name is Josh, and I live in Grass Valley, CA — where the oaks meet the pines in the Sierra foothills. I share this life with my wife, our two children, a cat, a dog, and a close-knit community of friends and family. Our days often unfold along the river, in the garden, around the fire sharing stories, or making music in the living room. This deep connection to nature and community shapes my work and inspires me on my path.

The path that led me to this work has been long and winding. It has included extraordinary teachers, moments of profound transformation, and seasons of real difficulty — all guided by a steady inner knowing and the question: “I don’t know where this path leads, but what is the next step I can take?”

That path has taken me through rites of passages, month-long silent meditation retreats, wilderness guiding, all-night ceremonies around the fire, teaching mindfulness in elementary schools, facilitating men’s retreats, leading fatherhood support circles and countless hours immersed in prayer and meditation. It has also included the deepest initiations of all: a committed partnership of over 16 years and raising two children.

Even with all of this, I found myself in a place where I had everything that “should” make me happy — a loving family, stable career, strong community support. And yet, there was still a quiet knowing that something deeper was calling.

Fatherhood brought this into sharp focus. It illuminated my shadows, unresolved childhood wounds, and the ways I had learned to disconnect from parts of myself. Before becoming a father, I could carry these burdens mostly alone. But seeing how they impacted my wife and children brought me to a place of true surrender.

That surrender became a turning point.

It shaped my belief that parenthood — and relationship itself — is one of the most powerful doorways into self-discovery, healing, and growth. The same is true of life’s challenges, conflicts, and moments of disconnection. Each one holds an invitation.

Guiding You to Your Inner Light

My mission is to help you reconnect with your inner light.

Together, we turn the lens of awareness inward to compassionately explore the karmic, emotional, and energetic patterns shaping your experience of yourself and the world. Through intentional inquiry and guided processes, you’ll uncover limiting beliefs, reconnect with your inherent wisdom, and realign with your authentic self.

As that inner light becomes clearer, you’ll begin to experience greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed capacity for meaning and joy.

Foundations & Influences

My approach blends proven modalities to meet you where you are on your journey:

• Depth Hypnosis: Working in a relaxed, focused state to access and transform patterns held in both the conscious and subconscious mind.

• Buddhist Psychology: Cultivating mindful awareness, compassion, and a direct relationship with present-moment experience.

• Shamanic Practices: Honoring your connection to the natural and spiritual realms. Discovering sources of power, inspiration and wisdom that already live within us.

• Men’s Work:  Harnessing the power of sitting in a circle of men; to support emotional maturity, authentic leadership, and a balanced integration of masculine and feminine energies.

• Jungian Psychology: Exploring archetypes, shadows, and the story of our own Myth

• Parts Work: Healing and integrating fragmented aspects of the self

Community Engagement

I remain deeply engaged in men’s work — organizing retreats and participating in the Mankind Project — guiding men toward emotional maturity and embodied leadership. I have also walked the path of raising neurodiverse children and hold a deep passion for supporting parents at emotional and spiritual levels.

I lead regular fatherhood circles to help men step into the awakened, embodied fatherhood they know is possible.
