Hi, I’m Ruben.

I share perspectives and insights to help you better understand and navigate your inner and outer worlds.

You are a complex creature with multiple parts that conflict. I view self-development as the process of integrating these parts into a coherent, harmonious whole.

Most of my work is aimed as some version of myself—past, present, or future—and is a synthesis of the best ideas I’ve encountered in psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and through my own experience.

I hope the resources I offer here will help you on your path, as they have helped me.

Below are some quick links to get you started. You can also read my full bio here.


What people are saying…

“Before I signed up for Ruben’s Integrate and Thrive program, I was feeling very stuck. I didn’t understand why I kept self-sabotaging and beating myself up. Ruben helped me understand my dysfunctional patterns and the situations that gave rise to them. More importantly, he gave me the tools to anticipate and deal with them effectively and intuitively.”

—Deepti Pai, Tech Manager


“I am beyond grateful for Ruben’s leadership ability to steer and guide me through a challenging time in my life. What made this workshop worthwhile was Ruben’s ability to methodically ask appropriate questions at the right time and remain patient and observant in order to expose the deeper issues that plagued me. He helped me cultivate the belief that I can conquer any and all challenges I face. I feel much more empowered to navigate this chaotic world.”

—Jon Tetlak, Technology Consultant


“Working with Ruben has been absolutely life-changing for me. I was having trouble letting go of a relationship and through our sessions, he helped me identify the beliefs and desires that were keeping me stuck in the past. If you are considering working with Ruben, I highly recommend it!”

—Lizette Aranda


“I’ve been following Ruben for over 5 years now and have watched him evolve into one of the deepest thinkers I’ve ever come across in my 12+ years of study. The way he transforms his extensive and complex knowledge into easy-to-understand ideas is truly amazing…Ruben can help you shorten your learning curve when it comes to understanding and developing yourself.”

—Will Fitzgerald, Freelancer
