ABOUT ME
My journey with mindfulness began more than 30 years ago when I attended a weekend meditation seminar. What began as an introduction gradually became a way of life. Over the years, a regular meditation practice has helped me meet life’s challenges with greater calm, openness, and compassion.
About 12 years ago, I discovered Internal Family Systems. Bringing IFS together with mindfulness transformed the way I understood and related to my own inner experience. Rather than struggling against difficult thoughts and feelings, I learned to turn toward them with curiosity and compassion.
Today, my greatest joy is helping others discover this same possibility within themselves. My work brings together IFS and mindfulness to help people develop a more compassionate relationship with their inner world and learn to live with greater awareness, authenticity, and Self-leadership.
