About the Purusha Center

Where inner clarity meets outer integrity.

The Purusha Center is a space for reflection, recalibration, and meaningful transformation. We support people and institutions in navigating complexity with care, humility, and curiosity. Whether you are facing a life transition, questioning professional direction, or holding space for others while undergoing your own change, our work honors the connection between inner insight and systemic reality.

 

At its core, The Purusha Center exists to help people move through internal and external systems, belief systems, institutional structures, clinical roles, cultural expectations, all with more clarity, integrity, and discernment. We understand healing not as a solo endeavor, but as something that unfolds through relationship: to self, others, ancestors, institutions, and place.

 

This is a practice grounded in depth psychology, liberatory education, spiritual inquiry, and lived experience. Our approach resists urgency and embraces the slow work of transformation, supporting those who are seeking not just to feel better, but to live and work more honestly in a complex world.

 

The Purusha Center is also a space for community that is grounded in shared commitment to listen deeply, think critically, and move in alignment with what matters.

 

Whether you’re a clinician, educator, seeker, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.

Our Mission

The Purusha Center supports individuals and institutions in navigating moments of change with care and intention. Our work honors embodiment, cultivates clarity, and invites ethical growth both  personally and professionally.

Transformation is Relational

Change doesn’t happen in isolation. We honor the role of teachers, clients, ancestors, and the body itself in the process of becoming. We’re interested in how growth moves through relationship and how clarity can emerge without domination or bypass.

On Sacred Land

Our work is rooted in respect for place. We live and practice on the land of the Umoⁿhoⁿ (Omaha), Pónca (Ponca), and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) peoples, and are committed to honoring the Indigenous lineages of care and connection that came before us.

Systems Shape Us

We believe that healing is not separate from context. Transformation happens at the intersection of personal insight and collective responsibility. We hold space for complexity and support movement toward clarity, ethics, and embodied change.

We are guided by relational ethics, clinical depth, and symbolic seeing — offering tools that support integrity without bypass, and transformation without erasure.

About the Founder

I created the Purusha Center to integrate the many threads of my work: depth psychological theory, clinical practice, spiritual and symbolic inquiry, professional consulting, and embodied transformation. I've spent over a decade in higher education and clinical focusing on licensing and professional ethics, trauma-informed care, and liberatory pedagogy. I am committed to making meaningful support accessible to those who live and work at the intersections of personal growth and collective responsibility.

 

My approach to all work is shaped by Jungian and somatic psychology, Eastern philosophy, and Indigenous ways of knowing. I walk in many worlds: the sacred, the systemic, the artistic. I'm committed to a life of mystery and magic and often find myself traversing the depths of darkness as I know that it’s in these depths that the understanding and search for self begins.

Symbols of Transformation

We work with symbols not as branding, but as reflective tools. The scarab, the raven, the portal—each speaks to cycles of change, the unknown, and the invitation to live more meaningfully.

Scarab Beetle

Transcending the boundaries of darkness and the underworld, the scarab is an emblem of resurrection and rebirth. It reminds us of the path of becoming -  of knowing both the finite and infinite aspects of the self.

Ravens_edited.png

Raven

As a symbol of transmutation, the Raven connects the material and the spirit worlds. It invites us into the liminal space between - the body - where deep insight and intuitive knowing can emerge.

Life & Death Cycles

There is no beginning or end, only transformation. When we surrender to the unknown and tend to our own becoming, we can allow growth to unfold with integrity and curiosity.
