I’m excited to share a milestone: my upcoming book, The Developmental Enneagram for Couples™, A Guide for Coaches, Therapists and Couples to Transform Conflict into Connection, scheduled to release in Spring 2026.

For almost 25 years, I’ve been blending the Enneagram with the lens of differentiation in my clinical work with couples. I’ve been teaching this approach to couples, therapists, coaches and practitioners alike, and this book is the next step in bringing that work more widely into the world.

📖 Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing sneak peeks into my step-by-step frameworks — including how Enneagram projections, defenses, arrows and differentiation all interweave into a powerful approach to transform conflict into connection.

These frameworks were forged in the fire of real relationships and practice — shaped through sitting with couples in thousands of conversations, ruptures, and breakthroughs.

Often our default reaction to differences is to blame, attack, or withdraw— but the key is whether we understand how to transform those patterns into connection and growth- at the root..

Relationships are a transformational crucible, where the other becomes our greatest mirror and teacher. They are the laboratory where we integrate our fragmented selves and help our partner do the same…. a back-and-forth dance of returning each other to wholeness. This book illuminates that path.

✨ I hope you’ll join the conversation!
