Embodying Your Essential Self

I am most passionate about supporting others in connecting with and embodying their truest Self—the calm, compassionate, and wise essence that resides within us all.

This is not just a mental process of understanding; it’s a profound and felt experience that transforms how you live, relate, and grow.

By integrating Jungian archetypes, the Enneagram, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic practices, we create a pathway for deep and lasting transformation. While these models offer powerful tools for understanding your patterns, motivations, and inner dynamics, true change happens when this understanding is grounded in the body.

Each model provides a unique yet complementary perspective:

  • Jungian archetypes reveal universal energies and patterns that shape your inner world.

  • The Enneagram maps your core motivations and helps uncover the essence within each personality pattern.

  • IFS works with your inner parts, healing and harmonizing the subpersonalities that influence your behaviors and emotions.

  • Somatic work bridges insight with experience, allowing you to fully feel and integrate archetypes, parts, and Enneagram patterns at a nervous system level, helping you embody your authentic Self.

Through this approach, you’ll cultivate compassion for your inner world, gain insight into your patterns, and develop the empowerment to move forward with clarity and wholeness.

Enneagram of Essence™

The Enneagram of Essence™ is a profound way to experience the Enneagram. For those drawn to understanding their primary personality type, this modality includes a deep dive into the Enneagram of Personality to help you gain insight into your unique patterns and motivations. However, the heart of this approach is to guide you beyond personality alone, inviting you to experience each type’s essence as universal qualities within.

The Enneagram of Essence™ provides a path to wholeness, where understanding your primary type is just the beginning. This journey embraces the full spectrum of all nine types, helping you to connect with the inner resources and qualities each brings.

Jungian Archetypal (Analytical) Psychology

Founded by Carl Jung, this approach emphasizes the role of archetypes, dreams, and symbols as doorways to explore your unconscious and reveal deeper aspects of yourself.

The primary purpose of Jungian work is individuation—the process of integrating all parts of yourself to live in harmony with both your conscious and unconscious mind. By connecting with universal archetypes and personal symbols, this modality guides you toward an embodied understanding of your wholeness.

Internal Family Systems®

IFS is an evidence-based therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. This approach views your mind as composed of distinct “parts,” each with unique emotions, beliefs, and roles. IFS aligns beautifully with my focus on archetypes, inviting you to view each part as a meaningful expression within your inner landscape. Through IFS, you can access your “Self”—a calm, wise center that leads the healing process with compassion and clarity.

Integrative Somatic Therapy

Somatic Therapy is a body-centered therapeutic approach, designed to address and resolve trauma held within the body. SE works with the nervous system’s natural responses to stress, allowing the body to release trapped energy and restore a sense of balance and safety. This modality provides a structured yet gentle approach for guiding the body back into a state of regulation and resilience.

While I primarily use methodologies from Somatic Experiencing® developed by Dr. Peter Levine, my somatic approach is informed by training across multiple traditions. This diversity allows me to adapt and integrate elements from various somatic practices, creating a comprehensive and flexible approach to healing.

Guided Meditative Hypnosis

Guided Meditative Hypnosis is an approach that blends hypnosis with meditative practices to access deeper states of awareness, relaxation, and healing. This modality combines years of my training in clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, and advanced techniques from the Michael Newton Institute with my passion for sound healing. Using the resonance of quartz crystal and Tibetan metal singing bowls, I create a soothing soundscape that enhances the hypnotic experience, guiding you to a place of calm, clarity, and inner insight.
