meet your coach

I am a certified Integral Coach through New Ventures West, recognized as an ACTP by ICF, with a Bachelors in Classics and History and a Masters in Classics and Classical Languages, Literature, and Linguistics. I bring the methodology of Integral Coaching to design programs that are deeply intuitive and attuned to my clients’ ways of being and openings for change. I fold in my training in Classics — an interdisciplinary and humanistic study that spans language, linguistics, philosophy, history, literature, sociology, and more — through the use of poetic and intentional language, metaphor, and storytelling to invite clients into fresh perspectives on their lives and experiences. In addition, through years of deep study of the Tarot that remains ongoing, I bring the language of symbolism and imagery, archetypes, the metaphysical, and non-denominational spirituality to my practice.

my story

I am an Integral Coach who has spent most of my life in a coaching-adjacent field - education. Growing up, I was one of those students who did the bare minimum, unless a subject truly interested me; and that subject was History. I earned a bachelor’s in Classics and History, and a Master’s in Classics; and I went on to become a middle school Latin teacher.

Through Classics, I discovered a spark, a taste of my heart’s desire fulfilled, but I’d later discover how low that ceiling was within the bounds of my way of being at the time. My path of academic achievement led me to a very small but overwhelming, and disempowered place, dependent on productivity and external affirmation to feel any sense of stability and worthiness.

After years of witnessing myself contract under the pressure and forget what makes me uniquely magical, I began my own self-development journey with the help of mentors, coaches, and therapists. I discovered that I’d been shrinking myself in order to fit within certain confines since I was a child. I began to regain connection to my inner guide through a renewed access to my heart and my body, which had been silenced after many years of living from my mind.

Throughout this healing process, I’ve regained my personal power, a stronger connection to my loving and compassionate heart, and a greater understanding of the language of my body. Now as a certified Integral Coach, I show up to support others in their own healing and self-discovery through the integration of our three sources of wisdom: mind, heart, and body. Like anyone else, I still am, and always will be, a work in progress; but my path has led me here, to you.

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

my values

  • personal agency

  • authenticity

  • interdependence

  • unconditional love

Personal Agency

I believe that our souls have chosen to incarnate into our current life with full awareness of all of its suffering and serenity. Upon birth, we have forgotten; and if you are here, then perhaps you are ready to remember, to remember your why — why it was this life that you chose, and why all that has happened for you thus far and will happen for you still is divinely timed and meant for the transcendence of your soul. Grounded in this belief, I see you as fully capable of manifesting the life you desire, and I am here to help you do that.

Interdependence

I honor the ways in which all humans are connected to one another, recognizing that the magic of all of our experiences would not exist without each other. In Integral Coaching, this means that all of the people in your life are seen as teachers, and some of the lessons you learn from them will be more or less challenging than others; but all lessons are divinely timed and meant for you.

Authenticity

You, your family, friends, colleagues, larger community, and the entire world are better off when you are your authentic self. Authenticity means speaking, acting, and living from a loving and aligned place, grounded in personal values as your guiding star. Maybe you have forgotten, hidden, or lost your authentic self. That is so human. Together, we can remember who that is and develop skills and tools so that you do not forget.

Unconditional Love

The backdrop for all of the rest of my core values is unconditional love. In this space, you and all that you bring to Integral Coaching are seen and received in love, not fear. While it is quite literally human nature to filter life through the lens of fear, it is our soul nature to filter life through the lens of love. Through supportive self-reflection and new practices, you can begin to see all aspects of your life in love.

“If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love.”

—Ram Dass
