My Mission

My mission is to empower people who are wired differently to go confidently in the direction of their dreams. My passion is helping you clarify your core values, illuminate authentic aspects of self, and live in alignment with these truths with skills and tools that work with your unique neurological make-up. I am proud to create a warm environment for you during this time and honored to guide you as you develop the agility to gracefully navigate the twists and turns of your life’s path.

May you grow in joy.

May you grow in health.

May you grow in clarity.

May you grow in peace.

What I do

I facilitate transformation in your life through the vehicle of your attention and my expertise.

My priority is listening to you in a way that your friends, family, teachers, and co-workers may not be able or trained to do. When I listen, I meet you right where you are in the moment- without an agenda for you, but maintaining a deep dedication to you. As I listen and ask reflective questions, you begin to hear yourself in new ways and clarity emerges. The sense of understanding you gain about your core values, true interests, and authentic aspects of self sets the direction of your growth. I use various assessments and empirically supported tools from my training in mindfulness, positive psychology, and coaching to help you pay attention to and achieve your goals. When unhelpful patterns and habits begin to interfere with your desired outcomes, I will be your accountability partner and support your return to the path. This is challenging yet rewarding work. The more you attend to the practice of living in alignment, the easier and more natural it will become until you catch yourself straying from the path, and eventually before you do so. My work is done. Grounded and growing, you have become your own guide!  


Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
