I was born in Utah to an immigrant family. Later I moved to Harlem in New York, and then to Hong Kong. I have had the privilege of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and experiences. Though resilience is the norm, trauma and loss can have a profound impact on our nervous system, impacting how we view ourselves, others and our relationships. Rejection and failure can harm our career and our athletic performance.
As a mental health coach, I use attachment theory to educate you about you about your relationship patterns and self-worth. Brainspotting is an effective coaching method that helps to overcome trauma, anxiety, grief and performance obstacles. As a conflict diversion coach, I am able to help you de-escalate conflict in the workplace and at home. I am here to help guide you on your journey of self-discovery, communication and healing.
