Your body is yelling at you, but you have gotten SO GOOD at ignoring it. The surprising part is that you don’t even know how good. You cope instead of process.

In order to heal and grow you must learn your own somatic language. The emotions, sensations, tightness, anxiety, pain, and impulses are there for a reason. I will teach you how to decipher and utilize this inner alarm system.

I have the ability to see more than what my clients show me. This can seem intimidating at first, but it actually makes them feel safe.

In session we will explore shadows, complexes, unconscious patterns that shape your behavior, and even process your dreams. Whatever we find, I hold it with you and teach you how to make this kind of awareness feel safe.

This is the piece that a lot of standard therapy can lack- the “what now” after a session filled with processing and discovery. But I won’t leave you hanging! You will leave sessions with actual tools, skills, plans and sometimes even homework.

Here’s the coaching framework I created:

First, we name the experience. The story is the fodder- the straw to turn into gold. During the re-witnessing of it, we track the sensations and emotional signals that arise, because they’re messengers pointing to unmet needs or old wounds. This awareness and understanding leads us to what I call, Conscious Creation. Here we align with what you truly believe, set boundaries that support your healing, and begin to move with intention not unconscious reacting (which is what most people are doing).

IFS stands for Internal Family Systems. I added this therapy model to my coaching practice after personally experiencing the deeply healing impact of my core childhood traumas.

If you have never heard of this therapy before, here’s the gist of it (courtesy of google):

• Everyone has an "internal family" of parts (e.g., critics, protectors, exiles) that hold beliefs and feelings, often stemming from past experiences. 

• The Self is the core of wisdom, compassion, and calm within each person, characterized by qualities like curiosity, clarity, and courage, which can lead the internal system. 

• Even extreme or negative-seeming parts have good intentions and are trying to protect the system, and all parts are welcome to be understood and healed. 

• The goal is to unburden parts from extreme roles and allow the Self to lead, fostering internal harmony and healing from issues like trauma, anxiety, and depression.
