Coaching With Me!
As your coach, I will effectively help you clearly get in touch with with the places inside that are currently feeling alone, and experiencing the pain of disconnection. However, awareness is merely the starting point where the deeper work begins!
Aloneness and disconnection have been proven to be the root cause of all of our internal struggles, addictions, trauma, unwanted behaviors, and relational patterns that we want to break.
​
We can work to build new neural pathways in your brain to develop new ways of being. What sets my coaching apart, is helping you reach PERMANENT change because we are also working to dissolve the former deeply worn pathways in the brain, so that the new ways of being can both emerge and LAST!
My Training & Approach
" Trauma is NOT what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness."Â Â - Dr. Gabor Mate
Whether you are facing the pain of something that happened to you (Big T trauma) OR pain from the lack of what didn't happen for you (little t trauma), these experiences leave us fractured, stuck in our emotions and body, and unable to move forward. So many times we are quick to think, "Oh, that was back then. It's not still affecting me now." However, the latest brain science says otherwise. The "then" is still playing out "here and now," but we have subconsciously formed strategies that helped us survive, while also disconnecting us from what was too overwhelming to face on our own. As a result, what we could not face and feel, is still present. To fully process what happened and find resolve in our body and nervous system, we need a skilled, trauma-informed person to safely help us reconcile this gap. My transformational coaching techniques are based in Attachment Theory, and invites the client to be seen, known, and fully loved, providing the vehicle to experience true healing.
Let me also just say, NO ONE wants to RE-LIVE their trauma!!! I DO NOT want that for you either! My coaching approach is one that fiercely moves towards the pain and sits with it...but NOT in vain! The techniques I use, along with deep attunement and empathy, allow clients to fully process through difficult emotions to RELEASE the trauma. Experiencing this with me, as your coach, helps to also undo the aloneness that hurting parts of you once held onto, bringing immense relief. These "mismatch" experiences allow your brain to rewire, and form a new framework to operate from, empowering you to show up differently in the world, in relationships, and even in the face of what was once triggering.

My approach to healing helps clients build greater emotional, social, and somatic intelligence and is evidence-based, aligns with cutting-edge neuroscience, is emotions-focused, and based on biblical principles. I went through an immersive, experiential training and certification process, as a direct apprentice of the founder and creator of Character Formation Coaching, Aaron Eggman, graduate of the Townsend Institute. His transformational coaching modality is trauma-informed, and beautifully influenced by Attachment Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, AEDP, and Sociometrics, among others. I have spent the last three years studying, learning, and practicing my skills and have several hundreds of hours of experience coaching clients, running process groups, and now training other coaches to grow in this work, while being supervised and mentored by Aaron personally. I am deeply grateful for this development opportunity and it has truly shaped me as a person and catalyzed the course of my life!
What I offer?
"Character is the set of capacities needed to face and feel reality, in relationship."Â - Dr. John Townsend
When we experience trauma, or aloneness and disconnection, aspects of our character halt their growth and we can develop deficiencies in four main areas that are formed from the age of 0-25. We may have parts of us that show up "younger" than our age and behave in underdeveloped ways. My coaching context allows you the safety and space to learn how to "feel and deal" in an area you couldn't before, and see your character resume the growth process, which will directly impact your capacity and agency to show up for yourself! There are several ways to work at your character:​
