Therapeutic Coaching

In my role as therapeutic coach, I draw on years of training and practicing as a traditional psychotherapist and meet you outside the realm of medicalized mental health disorders. Instead of limiting ourselves to diagnoses or insurance-approved treatments, we will focus our partnership on the broader impact of harm.

 

I invite deep inner exploration with people who have been harmed and/or who are responsible for harm. Together, we'll uncover the lingering wounds and unmet needs related to healing and accountability.​ Let's get started!

You may be experiencing a variety of post-traumatic effects.

​

Emotionally, you may be prone to depression or sadness, anxiety, panic, anger, shame, self-criticism, intrusive or disturbing thoughts, nightmares, and lapses in memory or dissociation. You may also experience the extremes of either emotional numbing or heightened reactivity.

​

Your body may have changed, too. You may have difficulty sleeping, changes in your appetite or eating behaviors (like restricting or binging), and unexplained pain or immune system suppression.

 

Of course, for many people, the most challenging consequences of harm are relational. You might be grappling with social isolation, distrust of others, and insecure attachment patterns. You may even feel confused about your role in the harmful relationship or a sense of unreality about what happened. 

 

With non-judgmental curiosity, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress and resolve them together.

You may be experiencing the consequences of your actions.

​

Like people who have been harmed, you may be experiencing a variety of post-traumatic effects. After all, harming someone, especially someone you care about, can be traumatic in and of itself.

​

You may have seen how simmering resentments and unhealed pain led you to physically, verbally, emotionally, socially, or financially violate the boundaries and trust of your spouse, romantic or sexual partners, or children.​

​​​

It's normal to feel shame, guilt, self-doubt, and concern about who you are and how others see you. You may find yourself alternating between a desire to make up for your past behavior and an urge to deny, minimize, or justify what happened. 

 

Have the courage to look at what happened with an honest and open mind instead. Heal from the past and protect your future with personal accountability and lasting change.
