My focus is on helping people shift their internal world to bring about changes in their external world. I have worked with individuals, organizations, and academia to further personal growth and change. I am a licensed psychotherapist, intuitive coach, grouch facilitator and speaker dedicated to helping people turn inner transformation into outward manifestation. I have spent the last the 20 years working with both eastern and western perspectives and combine traditional and non-traditional approaches to human development–integrating psychological modalities, subtle energy practices and spiritual philosophies.
I work with various issues that many of us encounter– relationship and intimacy struggles, anxiety from stress and performance issues, social anxiety, life transitions, sexual issues, self-doubt, spiritual and life purpose questions, just to name a few.
What is unique about my practice is how I work. I combine western and eastern techniques to support inner transformation in service of outer change. I believe that the more connected we are to our authentic self, the happier we are in life. It truly is possible to feel better! In life we sometimes go through difficult challenges both internally and externally. These experiences can create an inner atmosphere of distress, negative thoughts or self-sabotaging behavior. I believe much our inner world is governed by outer perspectives and interpretations of these experience and healing lies.
