In all my professional experiences over the last two decades, in whatever capacity I have supported clients and companies, I have found connections between each person's inner life, their interpersonal relationships, and their connection to the larger community. As an executive coach, lifecoach, mental health professional today, I support healthy connections within and between these three foundational relationships. Coaching and executive mentoring is available at my practice, “Whole Life Works” virtually or in person at 6404 La Jolla Scenic Drive South, La Jolla, CA 92037.
My clients often struggle with recognizing their strong capabilities and successes while coming to terms with life challenges and changes. You may be reaching out because you are experiencing a difficult time in your life or you have realized it is time to do something about challenges in your past that are impacting how you live today.
I also support clients at Centered Ground under the supervision of Dr. Angela Klein. This includes EMDR and psychodrama. This is your journey and I will help you fight back against the challenges in your life with empathy and integrated therapeutic approaches customized to help you achieve your “whole life” goals.
