Coaching that goes to the root.
Depth-psychological coaching built around the Enneagram, for the unconscious patterns that quietly shape how you think, feel, and move through a life, and for the slow, careful work of loosening their hold.
Book a consultationThe work
Enneagram coaching is a way of seeing the patterns underneath the patterns, the motivations, fears, and old strategies that organize a personality long before we ever notice them running. Rather than managing the surface, this work moves toward the root, where the real leverage is, and it does so with precision and without judgment.
Understanding your type is the beginning. The deeper work is using that understanding to loosen long-held defenses, recover a wider emotional range, and change the patterns that have quietly been making your decisions for you. For anyone who wants genuine change rather than another layer of insight, this is a direct and freeing way in.
Every Empathy Architects coach is neurodivergence-affirming and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, committed to a space where all identities, ages, abilities, and histories are genuinely welcome.
To understand all is to forgive all.
Aaron's approach
Philosophy and approach.
My work centers on the Enneagram, though it is never limited to it. I draw on a range of complementary systems to help you connect what formed early to what is happening now, thought to behavior, identity to the illusions that keep it in place. We trace the patterns that took shape in your first years, look at how they still move through your choices, and gently loosen the grip of ego on your story.
The aim is to become conscious of what actually drives you, and from there to respond rather than react. This work asks for honesty more than further self-analysis, and it cares more about how you live than about how precisely you can name your type. In our sessions you can expect candid reflection, compassionate challenge, and real room for change, always moving toward clarity, relief, and a more spacious sense of who you are.
If you are ready to move past the mask and meet your truest self, I would love to talk. I offer a free thirty-minute consultation so we can connect, talk through what you are hoping for, and see whether we are a fit.

The systems
The lenses behind the work.
The Enneagram is the spine of everything here. Around it, Aaron draws on a wide range of complementary lenses, some psychological, some somatic, some contemplative, choosing what a given person and moment actually call for. What follows is a map of that range rather than a menu to work through.
The Enneagram
A dynamic map of nine types, each with its own motivations, fears, and paths of growth, rooted in both contemplative tradition and modern psychology. It is the primary instrument Aaron uses to surface unconscious patterns and help a person find their way back to their essential nature.
Typology and cognition
Myers-Briggs. Jung's psychological types, mapping how a person perceives and decides.
Multiple Intelligences. Gardner's account of intelligence as many-sided rather than singular.
Depth and analytic
Psychoanalysis and Jungian analysis. Unconscious drives, archetypes, and shadow material.
Internal Family Systems. The psyche as parts, met from a grounded Self.
Psychodrama. Enactment and role play to externalize and integrate what is stuck.
Bioenergetic character structures. How early experience settles into the body as defense.
Body and attunement
Somatics. The body as central to insight and regulation.
Microexpressions and micromovements. The fleeting signals of what is really happening beneath words.
Mindfulness and presence work. Staying rooted in the present, and in the body.
Consciousness and development
Transpersonal psychology. States of awareness beyond the ego.
Planes of consciousness. Working across instinctual, emotional, mental, and spiritual registers.
Spiral Dynamics. How values and worldview develop in stages.
Quantum psychology. Questioning the fixed, separate self.
Relationship and language
Nonviolent Communication and conflict work. Expressing needs without blame, and meeting conflict with empathy.
Communication lexicon. Reading the specific words a person uses for clues to worldview and subtype.
Types and levels of empathy. Developing the full range, from resonance to perspective-taking to somatic attunement.
Symbolic and esoteric
Astrology, Vedic and Western. Archetypal maps of identity, timing, and purpose.
Human Design. A body-based chart for decision-making and energy.
Aaron is conversant in all of these and finds them genuinely complementary to the Enneagram. Each is also a deep system in its own right, and where your needs call for more specialized expertise than hers, she can point you toward experienced practitioners for that deeper work.
