Working with the Enneagram
A tool for personal growth & connection.
The enneagram is a dynamic and accessible tool to promote self-growth and improve connection with others. By working with the enneagram from a space of playfulness, curiosity, and empathy, we have a greater capacity to celebrate and integrate the diversity of the human experience.
In addition to my counseling practice, I am a Co-Partner and teacher at the Enneagram School of Awakening. I teach workshops online & locally in Asheville, NC, and provide virtual enneagram coaching.

Enneagram & Sexuality
In collaboration with my colleague Dr. Frederik Coene, we have been conducting international research on the topic of the enneagram & human sexuality. Through focus groups and interviews with individuals of all enneatypes and subtypes, we are learning about the unique way our enneatype character structure impacts various dimensions of sexuality.
Inspired by the findings of this research, I am collaborating with other Enneagram professionals to facilitate groups that focus on sexuality based topics. It is my hope that these group offerings will provide a safe and honest space for all to explore their relationship to sexuality to promote healing and wholeness.

If you are interested in being a participant for the research on the enneagram & sexuality, we are currently looking for 162 volunteers for in-depth interviews. Follow the link below to learn more & sign up.
