Individual and Couples Coaching

I provide empathetic, compassionate, and person-centered care for people seeking to heal from trauma. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are seeking to heal from experiences of complex trauma, attachment wounds, and religious trauma. I approach healing through the evidenced-based perspective that healing happens in our bodies because trauma is stored in our bodies. This is true for all forms of trauma, including childhood trauma, sexual abuse, relational abuse, and trauma related to experiences in high control religions or religious abuse. In individual coaching sessions we will explore your story. This is tailored to your unique goals and needs and is focused on what you need to support you on your healing journey! I provide compassionate guidance to navigate through the complexities of shame, relational challenges, identity crises, and cultivating self-compassion. With tailored strategies grounded in sound theories and empathetic support, I empower individuals to be curious about their experience and foster meaningful growth and healing. To do this I draw on my extensive education in Mental Health Counseling and years of work with individuals and couples.

If you are wondering if coaching is right for you, let’s set up a FREE 20 minute phone consultation where you can ask any questions you may have. Currently I provide coaching services through the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery.

Trauma-Informed Spiritual Direction

Rooted in the wisdom of the contemplative tradition, spiritual direction involves offering compassionate listening, discernment, and gentle guidance as individuals explore their relationship with the Divine. Drawing from contemplative practices such as prayer, silence, meditation, and reflection, spiritual direction helps individuals navigate spiritual challenges, and deepen their connection to the sacred within and around them. It's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation within the context of faith.

Often people come seek a spiritual director when they are discerning a life transition, encountering grief, or have big questions of faith that often do not have easy answers. In direction, we sit with your story and your journey, and discern the ways that you are being invited into a deeper place of transformation and love.

I have unique training to offer trauma-informed care in spiritual direction. This is incredibly important for those who have suffered religious harm and abuse, have religious trauma, and/or have been a part of high control religious environments that stifle questions and doubt or personal autonomy which has contributed to lasting harm. Trauma-informed care in spiritual direction is also important for individuals who have experienced trauma in other parts of life. The goal is greater integration and healing in the context of spirituality for those who desire this.

Typically sessions happen once a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. All people are welcome regardless of creed, race, sexual identity and orientation, or current view of faith. If you are curious about Spiritual Direction, I would love to schedule a FREE 20 minute phone consultation to explore if this is something that is right for you in this season.
