I am is a Certified IFS Practitioner and the author of Internal Family Systems (IFS) Tips and Practice Skills, a book dedicated to my peer IFS Therapists and Practitioners to help them become more effective in IFS practice. I am also a Psychoshamanic Practitioner and a contributing member of the Crows Nest Center for Shamanic Studies in Southwest Michigan. 

I hold a PhD in an analytical field, and prior to my current path, worked in large corporations for nearly two decades. I left the corporate world and my successful career in 2019 to dedicate my efforts to promoting holistic inner work. 

My approach to IFS and inner work is non-clinical with strong emphasis on therapeutic relationship, parts’ inner psychology, and Self as the harmonizing center of the psyche. My areas of focus are Advanced IFS Parts Work, IFS Practice Skills Mentoring and Consultation, Holistic Inner Work, Centering Skills, Legacy and Unattached Burdens (UBs), Spiritual Emergency and Integration, and Life and Spirituality Mentoring.

I became a relentless advocate for IFS when I realized its effectiveness in healing personal, legacy, and archetypal unattached burdens. As complements to core IFS, and when needed, I use psychoanalytical, shamanic, and contemplative imagination techniques to help my clients notice, befriend, and heal their most challenging parts.

I have a holistic approach to inner work and view psychological healing and self-awareness not as the ultimate goal but the foundation of much deeper levels of self-awareness, namely, spiritual self-awareness, and the awareness of higher purpose of life and human experience. In fact you may be here reading this passage because of something you know deep inside, something you may not fully appreciate yet, but it is there. That is an inner call guiding you here, a spark of insight trying to inspire you, pull you out of your ordinary life into higher grounds of consciousness.

You are meant to be here reading this perhaps because you are meant to find and honor your higher purpose in life, your heart-path. How and when you get there is not important. What matters is that you notice and keep that spark of insight alive in you. This insight is an invitation from your Soul, emerging from your inner world to guide you to higher grounds. If you answer its call, you heal, grow, and approach wholeness.
