Your behavior, even if it’s not ‘pretty’ or externally validated, is a creative attempt to adapt to your environment and assert your control. Whether it feels like the paralysis of anxiety or the stillness of lost hope, it stems from a profound drive to survive and thrive. Many believe behavior is fixed, but it is fully within your control to redirect it. As your guide, I help you build a bridge between your past ‘failures’ and your future ideals. Once you know better, you will do better. Together, we’ll transform those ingrained instinctive adaptations into intentional actions, making every choice a step toward your Ideal Self.

I’m a psychotherapist and a developmental coach in private practice, but I’m also a business person, just like you. With these roles, I bring a “double vision” to our work. I intimately understand both your drive for growth-minded creativity and your need for emotional self-nourishing to maintain momentum and avoid burnout.

My daily experience of endless paperwork, emails to read and phone calls to make, creating business plans and marketing strategies, writing website copies and arguing with suppliers and still finding motivation to support others is a hefty task. We can compare notes, share strategies that work, both for tangible progress and keeping your emotional fuel burning.

In our partnership, you’ll discover deep self-reliance, because in my practice, codependency is only allowed with your cats.

You’ve likely experienced the frustration of pushing hard, only to feel stuck, as if you’re using the wrong tools for your life’s challenges. I incorporate pragmatic cognitive-behavioral strategies (CBT) to give you hands-on techniques to question and evaluate your pop-up thoughts, your intuition, and deep-seated beliefs, so you can use the right tools for the job.

Then, if you so choose, we can go deeper into an existential foundation: recognizing and accepting life as it is while taking full control over your own responses—to own the only power you have. This blend is realistic, equipping you with actionable tools for tangible progress, as well as philosophical to address the underlying meaning and purpose of your life that so often bugs people as they mature.

Together, we’ll examine the choices you’ve made, the choices you’re facing, and the freedom and responsibility they entail. We’ll confront the bad logic and false self-concepts that have held you back, giving you clarity and effective methods to move forward with purpose.

My coaching guides you to confront that fearsome inner beast of self-pity, self-criticism, and self-doubt. This pervasive “not good enough” messaging, often the criticism from a traumatized or overwhelmed inner child, can tear at your soul. Together, we’ll transform these old patterns from destructive forces into a powerful ally that protects and champions your creative voice. Learn to harness this energy to become your ultimate source of strength and forward momentum.

Living a creative life often involves the courage to question traditions, challenge established norms, break rules, and seek out new rituals and beliefs that are genuinely your own. New solutions are born on the ruined and decaying ideas of yesterday – but only if you are willing to take calculated risks. You can only grow as a person by shedding your old skin and forging your own path, follow your own unconventional, authentic thinking, and live based on your own values. Safety is key. Comfort is a luxury and even a hindrance on your way toward authenticity. My work is done when we questioned all your rules and left only the ones that nurture your growth without asking for permission.

As an immigrant who has traveled a lot and a child raised by grandparents from a different century, I find validity in different cultures’ different values and approaches to life. This broad tapestry of human experience has shaped my commitment to supporting the rights of women, the LGBTQ+ community, and people of all ages and shades of brown. My aim is to create a safe space for all sorts of folks. I am fascinated by the creative and transformative power of language, words, story-telling, and by how the invention of writing has changed the way we think, what we value, and even how we remember. Diversity is life and we all are contributing to its puzzle.

In my coaching, humor isn’t a side dish — it’s the secret sauce. We’ll use it to shrink problems down to size, outwit your inner critic, and may even get you laughing at the stuff that once kept you up at night. Sarcasm? Absolutely. It’s my favorite way of laughing in the face of grim reality.

Laughing isn’t about dodging your truth. It’s about kissing your froggy, messy image, and transforming it into something like, “Not bad… actually, kind of awesome.” Even in life’s darkest corners, you can still find the light — well, at least the dimmer switch.

Self-love: some call it narcissism — we call it progress.

My coaching offers a truly 3-dimensional experience. You’ll find me to be a real, engaged partner, not just a silent listener. I actively provide feedback and connect you with community resources that truly support your journey. I answer your questions and offer clear explanations, empowering you to understand your processes and make more informed decisions. In our work, I consciously bridge diverse wisdom traditions – speaking the language of science, philosophy, symbolism, and storytelling, to help you find truly meaningful growth.

You are a creative being whose consciousness is evolving on a spiral, seeking an ever-broadening understanding of the central Self. Together we can follow your life as an archetypal journey, using the symbols of myths, stories, Astrology and Tarot to integrate your Shadow and evolve your Self.

I’m trained in these symbolic traditions, and I am here to keep you company if you so choose. This is not fortune-telling; I don’t believe in a destiny that is hanging over your head. Instead of fathoming your future, I’d rather create it with you.

I provide a safe space where we can explore the spiritual concepts of your identity and what you want to achieve —a space where you can bring these important aspects of your life without fear of judgment.

This varied interest has lead me to a unique perspective, integrating diverse worldviews. It allows me to blend science – the rational that speaks in numbers and is focused on the real – and the mystical – the subjective power of emotions and imagination, speaking the language of metaphors, focused on creating the ideal – to evoke the full range of human experience.
