Introduction

I work at the “root” level, helping people break through the old default patterns that keep them stuck in a mindset that no longer works. My primary focus is empowering you to dive deep into your “internal operating system” so you can learn to run your mind, emotions, and actions instead of being run by the patterns that keep you from living a rich, full, meaningful life. With over two decades of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, coach, and certified yoga instructor, I offer a straightforward yet transformative approach to help you break free from what’s holding you back and build a life aligned with your values and vision. My work integrates the structured clarity of Immunity to Change (ITC), the experiential depth of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the grounding power of Subtle-Body Practices, including Yoga Nidra. These methods uncover hidden patterns, dismantle limiting assumptions, and provide the tools to align one's actions with what truly matters. This isn’t about surface-level fixes or temporary solutions. It’s about creating fundamental, lasting transformation. Clients often experience profound shifts, such as breaking free from self-doubt, letting go of reactive habits, and building the confidence to take purposeful action with clarity and focus. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, empower you to challenge those barriers, and create a clear path toward a life of authenticity, purpose, and sustainable growth. I also offer this work in group workshop form, combining the same three powerful strategies (Immunity to Change (ITC), Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), and Subtle-Body practices converge to help you transform unwanted habits, accelerate personal growth, and reclaim control of your life.
