I am a Certified Transformational Life Coach with Master's degrees in Psychology and Education. I help my clients to work through various life transitions: developing healthier habits, letting go of self-defeating behaviors, managing anxiety, and discovering how to create a life worth living! My unique gift is to help people learn the skills and practices they can use to move through fear and doubt to arrive at a place of authenticity and presence. I specialize in bringing together the body and the mind to bring my clients into a state of health, balance, and wholeness.
I have a Master's Degree in Transpersonal Psychology and also in Education. I am a certified yoga teacher and am able to teach mindfulness and meditation techniques to my clients if they are interested. I lived, worked and studied in meditation retreat for eight years in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
I hold a compassionate, non-judgemental space for my clients. I use my knowledge of psychology and multiple modalities for healing to tailor my coaching to each individual.
