Internal Family Systems (IFS) coaching coming this June

Internal Family Systems is the most effective model I have found yet to uncover our full potential, particularly for those who struggle with self-judgment. Upon completion of training with the IFS Institute, I will offer coaching sessions based on the Internal Family Systems model beginning June 24, 2024.

Professional Leadership & Personal Growth Coaching

For business leaders, private individuals, & small groups

I integrate Core Energy Coaching, Compassionate Inquiry, and mindfulness practices to support people to embrace their full potential. Through this work, clients discover their own capacity to:

  • release inner blocks & reduce stress
  • prevent or recover from burnout
  • shift mindset to growth & possibility
  • process & integrate difficult emotions
  • navigate conflicts & challenges
  • strengthen relationships & communication skills
  • align life & leadership with personal values
  • embrace & express authenticity
  • expand awareness & access to intuition
  • create conditions for potential to emerge

Modern, Holistic Approach

My approach is rooted in psychology, mindfulness, and compassion, supported by:

  • B.A. in Psychology
  • Professional coach training with the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and a coaching certification from the International Coaching Federation
  • A 13-month graduate-level training in Compassionate Inquiry, a psychosomatic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate, with an additional 10-week course on suicide attention
  • 10+ years of business & organizational leadership development
  • 15+ years of meditation practice & study, including a 10-year residence at a meditation retreat center, over 100 courses on meditation throughout the U.S. and Europe, and academic studies at a Buddhist institute in India

Curious? Let's chat.

I'd love to connect over a 30-minute Zoom call to find out what kind of support you're looking for and share what I have to offer. No sales pitches or pressure to commit, just good old fashioned human connection.
