Stop Analyzing Your Life.
Start Living It.
You have the self-awareness. You have the insight. You know the "why."
Now, let’s move toward the healing.
I help intellectualizers, neurodiverse adults, and "overthinkers" move past analysis paralysis and into deep, lasting relational change. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we soften the logic blocks that insight alone cannot reach.
The "Insight Trap":
Knowing Isn't Enough.
It’s easy to get your hope worn down from decades of searching for answers and solutions. You’ve done the reading. You’ve been to therapy. You can explain your patterns, your trauma, and your neurodivergence with scientific precision.
But despite all that data, you still feel:
Unfulfilled in your daily life and relationships.
Disconnected from a truer, stronger version of yourself.
Stuck in a "Scientist" mode that protects you but keeps you lonely.
My clients tend to be intelligent, well-trained, but find themselves "failing" to "commit" or show up in their lives in consistent ways.
Over the years, they've essentially learned that it is difficult to trust themselves or stay motivated or focused. They are people with big hearts and worry about disappointing people they respect and love. Yes, this was my story too.
I call it "Woo-Woo for Nerds." It’s a systemic, logic-friendly approach to the parts of you that don't respond to logic. If you’ve been told you "can’t go inside" or that you’re a "difficult" client because you think too much—you are my favorite kind of person.
Healing the System,
Not Just the Symptoms.
Let's Think About It!As an AuDHD practitioner who transitioned from a data scientist (ENTP) to a Self-led healer (INFP), I know that your "thinking parts" aren't the enemy. They are high-performance protectors running outdated survival scripts.
How we work together:
Neuro-Affirming IFS: No more "masking" in the therapy room. We work with your unique brain wiring, not against it.
Beyond Mindfulness: Traditional meditation can be a minefield for neurodivergent brains. We use active, relational internal work that feels like a "systems upgrade" rather than a chore.
Relational Alchemy: We shift the focus from managing your life to transforming how you relate to yourself and the people you love.
What makes “IFS” unique?
Most of the tools that traditional therapy provided you is only helpful when you can remember how to use those tools in stressful moments.
Our work together will expand your inner landscape so that you feel and respond better WITHOUT needing to work so hard.
My main method for coaching, Internal Family Systems (IFS), is unlike any therapy you have done before. Instead of trying to manage symptoms with psychological tools, we will find the source wound and heal it together.
IFS is a gentle and incredibly powerful mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and evidence-based mind-body healing model.

About Your Coach
In true neurodiverse-form, I’m nerdy and have several credentials.
I’m an Allied Mental Health Professional and credentialed with the National Board for Health and Wellness coaches. I've been coaching since 2017 and dedicated to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model since 2021. I am a Level 3 IFS Practitioner and I've served as an IFS teacher, aka "PA", several times.
I earned my Masters degree in my 30s when I decided to close my photography business and make the "ridiculous" career change to climate data scientist. I'm an intersectional scientist, never fully fitting into an existing box. But psychology, perception, and how we make decisions has always been my running theme.
Being non-traditional, work relationships became a critical focus for me. In 2017, I created a state-wide mentorship program for User Experience professionals. This kicked off a whole new chapter in my life.
I used to follow the paradigm of business and work that my mom and grandma taught me— overcommit, overwork, over stress, and always look busy. I spent years in burnout before learning that I didn't have to sacrifice the quality of my life for security in my heart and dollars in my bank account.
As you develop a deeper connection with your core Self, your purpose and creativity emerge naturally.
My singular purpose as a coach is to give you the direct route to your Self-led happiness.
