Our Goal
Have you ever struggled to understand and relate to people?
Me too. Then I found a really good map.
I learned that we humans are born and quickly learn habits that make us feel safe in the world. Habits that make us think and feel and act certain ways to keep feeling secure. We develop these strategies and keep using them. Some work great! Others? Not so much. Yet we still stick with them, even if they don’t work well for us - or those around us.
The enneagram maps these patterns. Recognizing them helps us understand and have more compassion for ourselves and others and make more intentional choices.
And that lets us redefine our relationships - with ourselves and other people.
It’s a simple and complex map. Helping practically navigate the map is what I do. I want to help you get past existing into living.
“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”

The enneagram is a map that shows us how different motivations drive our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Learning about these differences and similarities help us become more aware and better understand ourselves and others. This opens up the possibilities of learning more skillful means and intentionally choosing more adaptive strategies of relating which leads to better relationships - with ourselves and with other people. I teach people this map and how to practically work with it order to grow.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
