What is your true essence?

The Enneagram is a map for growth to your Self, who you have always been at your core.

While the Enneagram may appear to be just another personality typing tool, its purpose is to chart a path to self awareness and awakening. The Enneagram provides understanding of:

  • how personality is formed,

  • how it plays out in your life, your work and your relationships,

  • and, how you can live an authentic life.

    the Ennea-map to your essence

Your Enneagram type uncovers the reasons why!

I offer life mentoring and psychotherapy through the lens of the Enneagram process. Rather than just learning about the Enneagram, you will actually move along your growth path. Your Enneagram type and life goals point the way toward specific tasks. This Enneagram informed lens provides more specific and personalized focus than mentoring, coaching or psychotherapy alone.
