I’m Sean — a doctoral candidate in Depth Psychology with a Master’s in Public Health, a background in international public health, and a lifelong curiosity about what stirs beneath the surface. I’ve served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, led and chaired nonprofits, and through that work, began to notice what was so often missing: honest conversations about mental health — especially for men. That gap became a doorway. My own journey brought me face-to-face with the quiet expectations placed on the masculine. I’ve struggled with them, unraveled them, and continue to meet them with curiosity.

My doctoral research explores the colonization and commodification of Indigenous ritual, and my studies are deeply informed by esoteric traditions, the unconscious, and a belief that asking the right questions is often more powerful than answering them.

I care deeply about intimacy, truth, and the quiet courage it takes to heal. I’ve lived in Cambodia and Patagonia, been published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, and I’m one of those animal people (yes, they’re tattooed on my arm). I’m both skeptical and soulful, and I’ve learned how to disarm other men — maybe because I know how armor is built. I live by the Rumi quote, “What you seek is seeking you,” and I try to meet others — and myself — with reverence, grit, and a willingness to listen to what’s unspoken.
