How we choose our partners is often not as conscious as it may seem…

Parts of ourselves we've never fully met often do much of the choosing — scanning for someone who might finally quiet an old wound, or carrying a shame we've quietly handed the other person to hold.

I bring a clinical lens — trained in Internal Family Systems and IFIO couples work, along with a financial psychology perspective — to what drives people's choices in partnership, what limits their range, and what their patterns are quietly costing them.

It's a perspective I bring to audiences of financial professionals, health and wellness teams, and matchmakers alike, since the consequences of these patterns ripple outward into finances, health, and the people around us.

What Matchmakers May Not Know They're Missing: An IFS Lens on Client Readiness, Needs, and Demands

This session gives matchmakers language and tools for working with both.
