Who I am
My certification in brainspotting uniquely positions me to enhance the coaching experience for my clients. This powerful therapeutic approach allows me to help clients process and resolve difficult life events that may impede their progress toward meaningful change. By integrating brainspotting into our sessions, I help enable clients to break free from emotional barriers and foster growth. This methodology not only accelerates personal development but also transforms the coaching journey into a more impactful and transformative experience, effectively helping clients fast-track their path to achieving their goals.
With advanced expertise in certain tools and skills, I empower clients to navigate their difficult thoughts and feelings. My approach focuses on fostering resilience and self-awareness, enabling individuals to transform challenges into catalysts for growth. By equipping clients with practical techniques, I steer them toward meaningful change and a more fulfilling life. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, using adversity as a stepping stone to achieve personal goals and create lasting positive impact.
In my work as a licensed psychologist, my role centers on addressing mental health concerns and navigating emotional challenges, while as a coach, I shift my focus toward empowering clients to set and achieve meaningful goals. It is important to clarify that I will not be providing therapy to coaching clients; instead, my expertise lies in supporting individuals through various struggles such as sleep issues, career stress, health challenges, lifestyle changes, parenting pressures, communication frustrations, and feelings of being stuck. I find great satisfaction in guiding clients to shift away from these ruts and to align their efforts with their core values, ultimately helping them move forward toward a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.
