Therapeutic and/or Trauma Coaching

Therapeutic and/or Trauma Coaching is a professional partnership in which we work together to clarify areas that you would like to improve and work toward achieving your desired outcomes in those areas. Coaching is distinct from consulting in that I will help you find your own answers rather than advising. It is different from traditional talk therapy in that we will address any obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals and the safe modalities and techniques I use will get to the core/root of the issue quickly without layering more trauma or retraumatization.

Do you feel stuck, confused, lost, or stressed? I use proven neuroscientific, somatic, and holistic modalities, and teach lifelong skills to assist you in healing and becoming a better, stronger version of your authentic self. You always have choices, let’s find yours.

What kind of commitment do I need to make?

Every client jointly agrees to a commitment contract.  I set the terms of the commitment contract to fit your individual goals and plans. Then I assist you with learning the work you need to do. I will also assign you self-work on your own when needed.

How do I get started?

The first step is to book a session, package, or attend a workshop. Or you can book a discovery conversation, we will get an idea of how well we work together and what our next steps should be from there. 

Let's uncover the better, stronger you, Authenticity, Integrity, and Happiness ahead.
