Exploring the relationship between habits, habitats, attention, and human adaptation in an age of uncertainty.

I'm exploring a simple question:

How do the habitats we create shape the habits that shape our lives?

My work draws from psychology, environmental mindfulness, behavior change, and lived experience.

Through essays, conversations, and research, I'm investigating how everyday environments influence our capacity for curiosity, discernment, imagination, and adaptive action.

This is an evolving and exciting inquiry that offers insight into how we can craft our most enlivening habits and habitats.

I'm so glad you're here. 🌱

As part of this inquiry, I work with a limited number of individual clients to craft the habits and habitats that will deepen, inspire, and connect them during this challenging time.

I regularly share my discoveries and reflections in presentations, podcasts, and publications.

My work is informed by ancient wisdom and the latest psychological research on human behavior.

But what I bring is something no research study can provide: decades of lived experience navigating uncertainty, loss, change, and reinvention.
