I know what it’s like to be stuck, to spin one’s wheels, to be trapped inside of old stories, old beliefs, and long-standing nervous system contracts, knowing that you can be more and do more, but being held back by old fears and ingrained habits of both thought and behavior.

I also know the place of being caught in what feels like an impossible dilemma and not being able to see a way forward.

What I describe, I believe, is not only my personal experience, but what seems to be a very human experience.  There is a particular kind of mindful listening space, rooted within a framework called Nonviolent Communication, and shaped by the fields of Internal Family Systems, Resonant Healing, Somatic Experiencing and Transformational Life Coaching that I offer to myself (and others). It has been particularly helpful to me, in my own life, in working with emotional and energetic blocks. I enjoy sharing with others both this framework and mindful listening practice.

I hold a professional certification in life coaching. I have over 10,000 hours of experience learning and integrating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into the way I grow more whole and more real through relationship (and life) challenges. 

As a former high school math teacher and current math tutor, I also enjoy supporting students in moving through any challenges they are having in math, in the spirit of co-creativity, growing self-awareness and becoming empowered and wise learners and leaders of their own lives.
