She graduated from the East-West Psychology program at CIIS. Her dissertation, “The Psychology of Spiritual Awakening in Advaita Vedanta: from Bondage to Liberation,” discusses spiritual awakening as a process of psychological transformation involving the deconstruction of one’s beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors rooted in the identity of a limited self, or “bondage”, and the reconstruction of a new network of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors rooted in the knowledge that the individual self is whole and free from limitation. http://www.eastwestpsychotherapy.com
