Specializing In

Enneagram Work

Clients discover their Enneagram Personality Types to observe how they affect the relevant relationship. For individuals, pairs, or groups-teams, families, couples (large groups in workshop format). The client determines desired outcome, and Enneagram theory is applied to support that outcome. Tailored to the client's needs.

Mediation Services

Mediation Services (except divorce) for persons and organizations. Specific Enneagram instruction or theory included upon request; in every case, mediation is enhanced by my Enneagram background.

EnnCourage Your Kids^SM Workshops

Parents (or other caregivers) discover their Enneagram Types and explore how they are expressed in their parenting. Objective is to increase self-observation skills to avoid repeating family patterns deemed undesirable. Often, parents discover their children’s types, which helps even more. Sometimes offered publicly.

Public Workshops

On a rotating basis, the following topics are presented locally from an Enneagram perspective: Working with Perfectionism; Claiming Your Personal Power; Keeping The Four Agreements; Enneagram? What's That?

Personal Statement

In my work, I see teams become more productive, couples enjoy each other more, parents avoid "the way my parents did it." Sometimes, it's as simple as meetings being less contentious and more productive. Sometimes, it's as deep as someone releasing years of pain as they finally understand its roots. Most of the time, it's somewhere in between.

The Enneagram brings people home to themselves. Puzzling people no longer seem so difficult, and new self-understanding allows compassion for self to arise. Conflicts dissolve; there is less need to take things so personally. There is room for more of the good stuff. Wherever there are people, the Enneagram can help, and I love using the Riso-Hudson Insight Approach^SM. It enables me to meet people where they are and share the Enneagram in whatever way meets their needs. The Enneagram truly changes lives. I am honored to do this work.
