Level 1

Hi, I'm Stefan. Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, focused on attachment-based therapy. I've taught the psychology of human flourishing and performance at universities. My wife (MD) pulled me into longevity medicine, and I've been happily geeking ever since. Quieter background: 10+ years of Mahamudra and Dzogchen with Daniel P. Brown and Dustin DiPerna. Soon-to-be-dad, trail running, kitesurfing —figuring out how it all fits.
