How does all of this work? Well, there’s the science-based information of how to help people, and then there’s the real, human experience of actual transformation. Ideally you want both. 

My approach to meeting with clients has been influenced by Dan Allender, Sue Johnson, and Bessel van der Kolk, to name a few. I use a diversified approach that weaves together deep therapeutic work and practical interventions so clients can receive long-term healing and get help today. I also use body-centered techniques like EMDR and other somatic protocols.

On a human level I believe we all came into this world with the important core needs of being fully loved and fully safe. Because the world is a flawed place, we've all been disappointed, wounded, or hurt in one way or another. Our earliest experiences and relationships have shaped us: how we think of ourselves, how we relate to other people, and our understanding of the world. In our time together we'll address deep issues of shame, heart-ache, self-hatred, anger, fear, and other themes that may be affecting your current life.

My coaching approach is influenced by Coactive coaching, the work of William Marsten, Martha Beck, and current psychological research.
