I welcome all walks of life in my practice—come as you are. Regardless of the specific issues you face, I’m confident that I can assist you. I integrate the wisdom of history’s greatest thinkers with contemporary mental health research, offering a therapeutic partnership that is both mentally enriching and emotionally supportive. My aim is for us to develop a practical philosophy of life for you, tailored to aid you in the navigation of your experiences and challenges.
I can help you by leading thoughtful and safe dialogues mediated by honesty so as to engender self-reflection in your life. It’s common through life struggles to desire simple and quick answers to our problems. In my practice, I will assist you in providing those answers but more importantly, I will use questions to illuminate a path to your development.
My fascination with the human experience, psyche, and the journey of self-development drives my practice. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of collaborating with you on your personal development journey. Every mind is like the ocean. There’s surface and depth in all of us.
I believe our individual experiences have innate value and empower us to understand and interact with the world around us in unique ways. They shape our identity and belief systems, and influence how we express them. My goal is to help you explore and develop both in a psychologically safe space of curiosity, vulnerability, and non-judgment. We’ll honor and acknowledge tough emotions when they show up, appreciate silence as needed, and walk together through your growth journey.
As an Identity Development Coach, I’m a fierce advocate for authenticity. Sessions are a safe space to ask hard questions, learn something new, and be imperfect. Every part of you is welcome in every session! We’ll always be working towards growth, not perfection.
My framework for individual coaching is built on empathy, and is inclusive, intentional, and collaborative. I offer tools to help you achieve your goals, exploratory questions to provoke critical thinking, education on specialized topics, and even a sounding board for self-discovery - but we’ll work together to discover what works best for YOU. I create an individualized plan for every client to honor their unique experiences and needs, and update it according to their growth. You’re the captain of the ship, and I just help you chart the course through humor, compassion, and curiosity.
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, and I work in collaboration with other providers and experts in the field. I’m trauma-informed, but I am not a therapist. I’ll refer to and partner with mental health professionals to address underlying needs and healing that may be needed to achieve your goals, but I will not treat or diagnose them myself. I can help you identify roadblocks to achieving your goals as well as certain pain points, but I’ll always defer to a licensed professional to help you explore their origin and potential treatment.
