ENNEAGRAM
Helping clients deepen self‑awareness, manage stress, and transform relationship patterns through practical Enneagram insight.The Enneagram is a personality framework that maps core motivations, fears, and habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.I facilitate Enneagram assessments and guided feedback for:
Individuals: personal insight, stress and growth pathways
Couples: patterns in intimacy, communication, and conflict
Work teams: role dynamics, collaboration, and leadership development
Families: relational patterns, boundaries, and intergenerational dynamics
Each session combines assessment results with tailored coaching to illuminate blind spots, reduce reactivity, and support sustainable behavior change.
FINANCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotions around money
Individuals: Uncover early money beliefs and emotional drivers to understand feelings and behaviors and build practical habits for clearer decisions — identify hidden triggers, align finances with values and goals, and improve money communication to strengthen relationships.
Couples: Surface differing money scripts, reduce conflict, and build shared financial goals — align on parenting and money, negotiate prenups, make joint decisions, and pursue equity amid wealth gaps.
Families & multigenerational groups: Address legacy beliefs and role expectations, improve cross‑generation communication, and prepare for inheritance and estate‑planning conversations.
Common topics: budgeting, spending, debt & saving; compulsive spending and avoidance; decision anxiety, shame, and meaning; financial infidelity; prenups; wealth disparity, inheritance readiness/disputes; estate planning; money & parenting; difficult money conversations.
Each session combines assessment insights with practical tools and coaching to shift unhelpful patterns, increase financial awareness, and support sustainable behavior change.
