About
I’m a Certified Master Coach & Inner “Parts Work” Coach with a heartfelt dedication to helping you transform your inner world to have the outer world you truly desire.
Everything looked good on the outside. I was CEO of our successful family business, our family went on exotic vacations, and I had all the “things” I thought I wanted. But the reality was I lived with a nearly constant negative voice in my head, my relationships were struggling, and I felt trapped in unfulfilling work.
Then, in 2017 through loss and deep suffering, I spiraled into an undiagnosed depression and a realization that I had lost my connection with something greater and my purpose in this world.
A part of me believed that life didn’t need to be so hard—that I was missing something—so I started seeking. And it turns out the saying is true: When you seek . . . you find.
Seeking peace from my negative thoughts and freedom from patterns and habits that didn’t serve me, led me to study a wide range of topics.
I began by studying Eastern philosophy, mindfulness, and spirituality. I thought if I could go deeper into myself and connect with something greater, I could heal myself. I began practicing yoga, took mindfulness courses, studied A Course in Miracles, and attended Eckhart Tolle retreats.
And the practices I learned did open a door for me, but only a crack. I had some profound spiritual experiences, yet I still found myself falling into the same patterns and negative mindset as before. But, I had glimpsed a peace I hadn’t experienced before, and I knew there was much more.
Still seeking, I came across Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy or “parts work” developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD. IFS was a game-changer for me.
Parts work is similar to the movie Inside Out. It’s about getting to know the different parts of you (critical, angry, anxious, etc.), understanding the positive intention those parts have for you, and teaching you to become the leader your internal system needs.
Self-leadership–or leading from your core Self– is about conducting your work and life from a calm, connected, and centered state of being.
I finally understood that without acknowledging the parts of me that were stuck and healing them, no amount of meditation or yoga would give me the lasting change I sought.
“The Self is in everybody…the Self cannot be damaged, the Self doesn’t have to be developed, and the Self possesses its own wisdom about how to heal internal as well as external relationships.”
Richard Schwartz, Ph.D
Parts work had such an impact on me that I wanted to learn more and share it with others. Originally intended as a therapy model, IFS has had such success helping people, that they developed a program for non-therapists to extend the work to more people.
You don’t have to experience major trauma to feel stuck in your work, life, and relationships. Parts work coaching teaches you how to be your own internal leader and understand the parts of you that are holding you back from living your best life.
I completed an IFS program for coaches as well as a Mental Health Coach program specifically for parts work.
I also completed a master-level coaching certification through the iNLP Center, with an emphasis on neuro-linguistic programming techniques. NLP can be a useful tool to improve confidence, communication, and self-awareness.
And to deepen my spiritual practice, I became a certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor.
I feel so grateful to live in the state of being I do now.
I’m doing work I’m aligned with, my relationships have dramatically improved, and I feel connected to life in a deep and meaningful way. And although problems still arise, I trust that my inner wisdom will guide me through life’s challenges.
I’m here to help you connect with your inner wisdom, step into your boldest and bravest Self, and live the life you were always meant to.
