Educational. Empowering. Transformative.
Repeating painful patterns? Experiencing disappointments, insecurities, conflict, reactivity, anxiety, resentment, betrayal, depression, heartbreak... even feeling unlovable?
It's not you. It's your lack of skills to navigate modern day stress and relationship.
Relationships were not meant to be this complicated. Plus, our subconscious attachment style from childhood can tamper with our ability to feel secure, respected, valued and loved.
Let's upgrade your Self-Awareness and Self-Worth with Self Leadership (IFS), a leading-edge, empowering psychotherapy and skills-building method for Emotional and Relational Health. Learn to navigate emotions and triggers, understand your wants, needs and boundaries and learn to communicate with confidence to create secure relationships and overall well-being.
Self Work
LET'S FOCUS ON YOU
Rather than traditional talk therapy or passive listening, I actively engage with collaboration, creativity and solution-oriented skills as we navigate your inner world, limiting beliefs, maladaptive protective strategies and relational experiences. I utilize non-pathologizing Self Leadership (IFS) for transformative outcomes for complex-PTSD, anxiety, self-sabotaging, insecurities, codependency and relationship distress - even if you've been stuck in painful patterns for years.
LET'S FOCUS ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP
I cannot fix your relationship, but I promise an opportunity of a lifetime, for you both to work together, learning integral skills, through intensive coursework and practices. Without these skills, even the most devoted partners can end up in confusing conflict, maladaptive patterns, getting and protecting behaviors, push-pull dynamics, jealousy, insecurities, codependency, enmeshment, and painful dysfunction. Build respect, connection and trust with relationship-building know-how.
LET'S FOCUS ON YOUR SKILLS
Imperative coursework to start today or to align with sessions. I offer two self-paced programs, Creating Self Leadership and Creating Self Leadership in Relationship. Couples are encouraged to do both. Through intensive courses, you learn evidence-based, tangible skills to process painful emotions, navigate relationship distress, and wholeheartedly connect with yourself and others. Guide your healing today, while learning empowering skills that improve your life forever.
Make Love Possible
"Staying out of the Drama Triangle and communicating my genuine wants and needs saved my marriage. My husband just wanted to love me but neither of us knew what that even meant. Thank you for making love possible."

Why Self Leadership?
Self Leadership involves your ability and responsibility to be in Wise Mind so you can observe, process and guide your beliefs, behaviors, emotions, needs, wants and other parts of your inner world. As you strengthen your Nervous System and Emotional Health and build your Soothing System you are able to mindfully choose responses rather than react, clearly communicate, navigate the big stuff, heal from hardships, breakthrough addiction and codependency, realize self-worth, create wholehearted relationships and more.
Inspiration and Support
"I feel so lucky to have found you as my expert guide. I wouldn’t have found my way back to myself without you. Thanks for your inspiration and support."

Why Emotional Health Skills?
Experience the profound benefits and fulfillment of working with your emotions, instead of self-medicating, depressing, maladaptively reacting or getting overwhelmed by them.
Emotions are not just 'in your head' they are full body neurochemical and hormonal experiences that not only impact your physical health, but influence your thoughts, sensory processing, perceptions, focus, mood and behaviors, along with your ability to feel calm, enjoy life real-time and connect with others.
Over time, emotions and your reactions to them - intentional or not - create your choices, personality, your relationships, your Self and your entire life story. Gaining Self Leadership and making your emotional health an intentional practice, rather than unintentional reaction, helps you create the you, you want to be, and the life you want to live.
