Max supports individuals and couples in the sacred work of healing old wounds, exploring more satisfying and meaningful ways of being in the world, and coming into deeper awareness of our true nature. 

His work draws on long-term contemplative practice, a clinical background in somatic psychotherapy, shamanic ceremonial training, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and several bodywork modalities. Max began a daily meditation practice 14 years ago, and has studied and practiced extensively in Vajrayana and Zen Buddhist traditions, as well as Kashmir Shaivism and Advaita Vedanta. He received an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University, and a BA in Consciousness Studies from Goddard College. He has worked with earth medicines for over a decade and studied with multiple indigenous healing traditions, most intensively apprenticing in the Shipibo-Konibo lineage. He also has a professional background in craniosacral and massage therapy.

Max resides in the mountains outside of Boulder, Colorado and in his free time enjoys meditation, time with friends, far-ranging conversation, nature, music-making, contact improv dance, and ceremonial prayer work.
