Why the Enneagram?
I believe everyone should know about the Enneagram. It’s a tool of self-discovery, self-reflection, and growth. It gives language to our core motivations, the beliefs deep down that drive our behaviors. Why wouldn’t we want to better understand that part of ourselves?
The Enneagram is for you if:
-You want to keep growing and evolving personally and professionally
-You are seeking clarity on your strengths
-You are seeking insight into your challenges or growth edges
-You want a tool for connecting authentically with yourself and others
There are tons of tests and quizzes out there to help you discover your Type, however they are only approximately 66% effective. What if you are in fact a Countertype, meaning you don’t show up like other folks in your type structure? That’s where a Typing Interview can help!
What’s an Enneagram Typing Interview?
A typing interview is a 60 minute meeting with a trained Enneagram professional where you are invited to reflect on a series of questions to help you narrow down your possible Enneagram type. Although the Nine Types are most well-known, did you know there are actually 27 types when you take into account instincts and subtypes? That’s a big difference!
What you can expect in a Typing interview with me as a consultant and mental health professional (although this is not therapy and does not replace therapy) is a supportive, safe place with open questions to help you discover your type structure possibilities. You’ll also get resources and reading recommendations on your type, including relevant

Why work with me? As a trained mental health therapist, Certified Financial Therapist, and Enneagram certified professional, you get the best of three worlds: a safe space to show up, clarity on your money behaviors, and the experience of purposeful questions to support your self-discovery journey. An Enneagram Typing Interview does not replace therapy with a trained professional, and this meeting and content shared are for educational purposes only.
Are you craving clarity or language for why certain things are a struggle? Do you want to embrace your strengths and lean into that next level of growth? Are you ready to explore how the Enneagram can create meaningful change for the better?
My Enneagram Evolution
I first engaged in an Enneagram training in 2012, where it left a profound impression on me because it gave language to my experience personally and professionally within the world. Then I experienced it again as part of pre-marital counseling with my spouse of almost 10 years (and counting). The Enneagram became a regular tool in my mental health private practice with clients struggling with low self-worth, perfectionism, and workaholism.
But it didn’t stop there.
In 2019 I began using the Enneagram with colleagues in my consultation role to help them recover from burnout within our field. In 2020, I wrote my first Amazon #1 Best-seller Perfectioneur: Moving from Workaholic to Well-balanced, that called out risks for certain personality types (I’m looking at you Enneagram Type Twos and Threes) to struggle with work-life harmony. In 2022 I leaned into Enneagram conversations with colleagues in peer consultation groups.
In 2023, I saw an intersection of Enneagram and money behaviors as a Certified Financial Therapist, crafting a blog that would be the origin story of our Amazon #1 Best Seller Your Enneagram and Money, which published in January 2025. In March 2025, I crafted and taught an elective on The Enneagram in Therapy for Master’s counseling students at the University of Denver and presented the same content at the Colorado Counseling Association’s Annual Conference to a standing-room-only crowd in August 2025. The Enneagram fascinates many of us as therapists and helping professionals, and for lots of valid reasons!
From 2023 to now, I continue to bring in aspects of the Enneagram into healing retreats with therapists. And at the conclusion of 2025, I successfully completed an Enneagram Certification Program with Milton Stewart, MBA of Kaizen Coaching, Consulting & Community and incoming president of the International Enneagram Association.
So in 2026 it’s time for me to give back to my professional helper community in a new way—by providing language and insight into our personality type structures that also informs our conscious work with clients! Schedule an Enneagram Typing Interview with me here.
