Client Raves
“You immediately cut through the bullshit in my brain, help me logically break down situations and respond in the best way, and develop my boundaries and communication skills to achieve mutually beneficial results in my interactions.”
“You bring a healthy marriage of spirituality and tested/proven scientific methodology and serve it up on a ‘no shoes required, come as you are’ platter. You encourage me to take action and control of my romantic life through supporting my decisions moving me towards my goal.”
“You helped me see the best in myself the parts of me I couldn’t see for myself. You brought out of me the person I didn’t believe was there.”
The Work
No matter the approach or modality, the work you are willing to put in determines the quality of outcomes you achieve. The work we do together in coaching is a combination of the following approaches and my Relationship Reset program.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.
“Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis.”
— Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum
IFS Parts Work
Parts work addresses conflicts in agendas between your internal parts that are creating gridlock in your emotional healing.
We all have parts—parts are not the problem—the extreme roles those parts have taken on because of trauma are the problem.
The Internal Family System (IFS) protocol helps unburden or restore extreme and wounded parts to establish a trusted, healthy, harmonious internal system coordinated by the Self.
Trauma-Informed, Depth Oriented Coaching
The underlying question in trauma-informed care is not “What’s wrong with you?” (which is the medical, pathology-focused model) but “What happened to you?” (SAMSHA)
In trauma-informed, depth-oriented coaching, we recognize that symptoms are actually adaptations to traumatic events and healing happens in safe relationships where corrective co-regulation can occur. A depth approach means we value your unconscious as a valid source of healing information.

When we are upset it is normal to feel like: “I am so mad!” The reality, however, it that only a PART of you is angry. There are other parts of you that are - Hurt - Sad - Curious - Confused - Open...
