I combine Systemic Coaching with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, fostering personal growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

You can’t stop the waves,

but you can learn

to surf

You can’t stop
the waves,

but you can
learn to surf

You can’t stop the waves,

but you can learn

to surf

This quote captures the essence of my work. We can’t control life’s challenges, but we can choose how we respond.

Together, we will develop the tools that enable you to surf
the waves instead of being overwhelmed by them.

I specialize in helping individuals and organizations shift from struggling against life's inevitable challenges to developing the psychological flexibility needed to navigate them with resilience and confidence. When we constantly fight against circumstances beyond our control, we become disconnected from ourselves and what truly matters. This endless battle with reality leaves us exhausted and distant from our values. But there's a different path forward.

What if, instead of fighting the waves, you learned to surf them? When we stop trying to control the uncontrollable, we create space for what genuinely matters. By learning to accept our inner experiences and relate to our thoughts and emotions with openness and compassion, we can stop struggling and begin to live more freely.

My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), multimodal stress management, and evidence-based mindfulness and self-compassion methods. The techniques I use are based on scientific research and proven effective in helping people create lasting, meaningful change.

In our work together, you'll discover how to develop more effective ways of managing stress, hold your thoughts and feelings lightly without being overwhelmed by them, and take meaningful action, even during difficult times. The goal isn't to eliminate life's challenges—it's to build your capacity to respond to them with clarity, compassion, and inner strength.

The waves will keep coming. But you don't have to be tossed around by them. Let's work together to help you develop the skills to surf them with resilience and confidence, even in the stormiest seas.
