Level 2 trained IFS Practitioner and Trainer
I used to say I felt like "a walking contradiction". I'd always been full of ambition and ideas, but I couldn't trust myself to have the motivation, passion, or energy to make it all come to life. I wanted to feel normal, but I *needed* to live my life authentically. Decades of common advice about "managing" or "overcoming" things just left be in burnout. I was able to use the years of the pandemic to transcend the mindset that kept me stuck and sad. I discovered how to ENJOY life without the brutal white-knuckle effort of sheer willpower. The way out is through.
I don't believe "positive thinking" is enough to heal. Even emotional regulation tools are just temporary, band-aid solutions- and they take A LOT of effort! My thirty years of talk therapy was helpful, but did not lead to true, life-changing healing. I help you go deeper than cognitively understanding your past without rehashing or reliving traumatic experiences.
I am a late-diagnosed AuDHD, overthinking, gender non-conforming, creative, intellectual coach with years of IFS training, teaching, and practice. I help adults heal from shame spirals preventing light-hearted joy and authentic confidence. Imagine the beautiful possibilities when you don't have to waste effort managing emotions that take you over!
Enjoy being your genuine Self instead.
Clients tell me my unique perspectives are a gift. So, let's stop hiding, together.
