RELATIONSHIP COACHING: Let me guess: One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this?
We crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. If you are struggling in your relationship, we can help you get under the bickering to the wounded and guarded parts to allow you to reconnect to the person you fell in love with. We pull from relationship models proven by research to be effective in helping relationships. If you are ready to do the work, we can help you cultivate a relationship beyond "fixes." A healthy relationship is one of the most life-giving experience we can have.
INTEGRATED HEALING/PERSONAL COACHING: Dysfunction is often rooted in stressful or traumatic events—whether egregious affronts or less overt encounters— whether we lived it, or it is trauma passed down intergenerationally. These events can arise from, and manifest in, various areas of our life. It feels like anxiety, stress, depression, or even failure. We feel it in our bodies as pain, medical, issues and more. Our team or expert coaches pull from various evidence-based models to work with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self, to allow you to find deep, authentic, and meaningful relationships and create and preserve a whole, happy, and thriving life. Message me for a link to schedule a free consultation session to see if you would be a good fit.
GRIT Kids: Our Youth and Family Program: GRIT is the ability to sustain long term goals in the face of adversity. Resilience becomes the byproduct, which is necessary for independence— and what more could we want for our children. Through curiosity about our thoughts and feelings, we grow the insight to develop, evolve, adapt and transform. GRIT is an IN-HOME/Virtual coaching service to help you and your child cultivate self-awareness, to target behavioral goals, develop emotion management, resolve stressful or traumatic experiences and more so your child and family can have the relationships you are capable of.
I enjoy seeing couples, individuals and families grow and connect.

I hold the following Master’s degrees: Psychology, which focuses on individuals; Marriage and Family Therapy, which emphasizes relational dynamics and family systems; Intercultural Studies, which recognizes the importance of cultural milieu; and Theology, which examines the human condition in the greater context of our humanity and the symbols and stories that inform and help shape a sense of transcendent meaning and purpose.
I have trained in somatically-oriented psychotherapies and the study of neurophysiology, which recognize that the human person doesn’t merely inhabit their body, they are their body.
This combined anthropology has led me to developing an integrated, holistic approach to how I see and understand the clients I work with, as well as how I conceptualize the individual. I strive to cultivate my appreciation of each unique person in their pursuit of their authentic self in thriving relationships. To me, this is not just a goal of coaching; it is also our existential purpose as human beings.
I integrate an individual’s body, mind, and spirit/spirituality because sometimes we are stuck in one or all of these vital areas of our experience. I have received certifications and training in several modalities and practices that support an integrated approach to wellness.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
We have a sliding scale to ensure finances do not keep individuals from receiving the help they need to live as their best self.
How did you get started in this business?
I practice alternative approaches to healing and coach because traditional psychotherapy isn’t for everyone and isn’t the right fit for all problems.
Not all individuals who want help living a better life have a mental health disorder and need a mental health provider. Often the people I see in my coaching practice have been in traditional therapy for years and still are not where they want to be. This is where the integration of the body and spirit is so essential. Finally, sometimes we are just naturally stuck and need help to achieve our goals. Sometimes coaching is a better fit.
Coaching and therapy are different even if they overlap in places. I appreciate the ability to integrate a holistic approach when working as a coach. There are also protections afforded within a therapist-patient relationship. I will discuss the similarities and differences with you to ensure your needs are able to be addressed within coaching. If you needs require more than what I provide as a wellness coach, I will make a referral to a licensed mental health provider. As appropriate, I collaborate with an individual’s healthcare provider and coordinate care to enable my clients to thrive.
As a integrated/alternative provider and coach I neither make nor treat medical or mental diagnoses. I am not operating as licensed physician or psychologist providing traditional medical or mental health treatment. I implement a holistic approach and integrate an individual’s body, mind, and spirit/spirituality because sometimes we are stuck in one or all of these vital areas of our experience. I am formally trained to work with both the mind and the body. I implement strategies informed by Eastern and Western medicine and provide alternative therapy that is complementary to the healing arts services that are offered by providers who are licensed by the state. As such, I offer services that are in compliance with California state laws, including California Business & Professional Code § 2053.6 in my practice.
