My Mission

My mission as an IFS practitioner and coach is to use the power of Internal Family Systems to create positive change that begins within individuals and ripples outward to communities and the world. I believe in the transformative potential of self-discovery and healing, fostering self-compassion and resilience.

By empowering individuals to embrace their inner wisdom, I aim to promote empathy, understanding, and cooperation, contributing to a more interconnected and compassionate world.

My Education and Training

With a BA in Psychology and Leadership Studies and 15 years of dedicated coaching experience, I have honed my skills in guiding individuals towards their fullest potential. Complementing this journey, I have further enriched my expertise through rigorous Level 1 and Level 2 training in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model by the esteemed IFS Institute. This comprehensive training equips me with the tools to delve deep into the intricacies of the human psyche, fostering profound healing and transformation. I have also served as a Program Assistant for IFS Level 1 training.

My unique blend of coaching and IFS allows me to offer a holistic approach that nurtures personal growth and emotional well-being. It's important to note that I am not a licensed psychotherapist, so I do not diagnose or treat. Discover more about my practitioner profile at the IFS Institute .
