About Me

Hi, I’m Zac

With a creative background in music performance and more than a decade of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a unique blend of creativity and clinical expertise to therapy and mindfulness instruction. I have supported individuals with severe mental illness and substance use concerns across a variety of clinical and community settings, and I am to approach each individual with compassion, empathy, and practical understanding.

I am comfortable working with specific diagnoses such as Substance Use Disorders, mood disorders like Bipolar Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety & Panic Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and I can assist with more general therapy domains such as protracted periods of grief & bereavement, relationship challenges, life stage transitions, and emotional regulation.

For many people, it can be challenging to ask for help with personal issues, and with that in mind, I aim to provide a comfortable and confidential atmosphere to discuss the concerns that are important to you.

I am a Certified Meditation Instructor

Trained by renowned meditation teacher David Nichtern and certified by Dharma Moon and Tibet House in the Kagyu Karma lineage of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, my teaching is rooted in authentic meditation tradition.

My guidance draws insight from years of direct therapy practice and the wisdom of leading mindfulness teachers, including Pema Chödrön, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, and Ram Dass, to create an inclusive, meaningful, and well-supported environment for all participants.
