About Dr. Randi

I provide a deep, collaborative therapeutic process that maps the intersection of mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in assisting those navigating “intense realms”—emotional wounds, trauma, or the profound stressors of high-pressure environments. My work is designed for clients who prioritize spiritual sovereignty and personal growth as a non-negotiable path to wholeness.

My therapy style

As a therapist, I have deep roots in the worlds of alternative medicine, mindfulness, mysticism, and communication theory. I received my Doctoral education and training from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP), specializing in the optimization of human potential. I have lived and practiced at the junction of psychology, physiology, and mysticism for over 30 years.

By bridging the rigor of Western psychology with the embodied wisdom of Eastern mysticism, I help my clients uncover the “source code” of their suffering. My approach is about sovereign integration—moving from being “shaken” by outdated patterns to becoming the conscious architect of your own reality.

My therapeutic approach

I value potency and resonance over mere information. My basic approach is:

Holistic & Somatic: I focus on the whole person—mind, body, emotion, and spirit—ensuring shifts are visceral and permanent.
Existential & Depth-Oriented: I am comfortable navigating the “architecture of the void.” I help clients dismantle limiting worldviews to unfold into new possibilities.
Strength-Based Resilience: I draw on my “tough as nails” resilience to enhance the qualities that have already seen you through your darkest lessons.

I believe that being human is a practice and that healing and change is always possible. You don’t have to be defined by or unconsciously thrown about by the outdated patterns in your life anymore.
