I was first introduced to the Enneagram in the early 90's after I began studying personality following an Amway convention where I learned of the book Personality Plus by Florence Littauer. My experience of understanding different world views was so profound that I began researching all personality models. I loved the variety and differences but, based on my early exposure, found the Enneagram to be a little too "woowoo" for me and ultimately landed on Myers Briggs/MBTI in my early years as a counselor and found incorporating personality into my psychotherapy sessions was very helpful with individuals, couples and families. I was later re-introduced to the Enneagram around 2010 and, after seeing the potential depth of the work, began studying and integrating it into my counseling work with clients. The results my clients experienced were so successful, I realized this tool (Enneagram of Personality) could help me get to know my clients more deeply, more quickly than all the other tools I had learned. I began researching the origins of the Enneagram, started playing with models to help me understand what I call the "elements of the Enneagram" to better explain to clients. I was influenced by a variety of early Enneagram authors as I began drawing multiple 3x3 models of the elements to use with clients. Later, I became of Arizona Enneagram Association and International Enneagram Association and was certified in 2017 through Enneagram Spectrum with Jerome Wagner, Ph.D.
I later started a small group practice and began teaching my supervisees to use the Enneagram in psychotherapy sessions. The clinicians also experienced excellent results partnering the Enneagram of Personality into their practice with a variety of modalities. The work was so successful they asked me if I would be willing to teach this to clinicians outside of our practice. Enneagram Empowered Psychotherapy was born and I began presenting to audiences of Enneagram conferences and Psychotherapy conferences worldwide.
