FAQ
WHO DO YOU SUPPORT?
Are you a woman who desires change, growth, or transformation? You need someone in your corner! We all have souls that need tending and hearts that need healing. You might need a listening ear and a resource to support you as you begin to prioritize the care of your own heart. I practice compassionate coaching and spiritual direction with no judgment or shame for how you are currently showing up in the world.
WHAT IS COACHING VS SPIRITUAL DIRECTION?
Coaching and spiritual direction are both similar in that they involve a lot of listening and curiosity. In coaching, I incorporate therapeutic and holistic tools that allow you to explore root causes. The goal of coaching is greater self-awareness, inner leadership, compassion, and whole-heartedness. Spiritual direction is a time to listen to your soul, explore your relationship with God, and deepen your awareness to where the Spirit may be leading you. In both coaching and spiritual direction, we go at your own pace while we establish an environment of safety, stability, and support. Remember, privacy is essential and every session is completely confidential.
DO I HAVE TRAUMA?
I don't think anyone can live in this world without experiencing trauma. Dr. Gabor Mate' says "Trauma is not the event. Trauma is what happened inside you. Trauma is the wound." Wounds develop scar tissue and scar tissue doesn't grow. This is why so many of us feel stuck in our emotions and disconnected from ourselves and others. The traumas we experience can create inner turmoil and keep us stagnant in life. Trauma recovery includes inviting God into our pain, learning about the nervous system, moving toward our emotions, and practicing self-compassion.
IS THIS THERAPY?
I am not a clinical therapist; therefore, I do not treat or diagnose. However, I am a certified, trauma-informed and trained practitioner. Trauma education has been critical in my role as an adoptive mom and I knew it would inform my coaching. I needed to understand attachment, the nervous system, and developmental trauma in order to truly support those in my care. I have training in and personally benefited from trauma and somatic modalities like Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal Theory, and TBRI®. I also make referrals to clinical, trauma-informed therapists for those who are considering intensive treatment.
