For years, I’ve been privileged to hold the trust of friends, family and coworkers, and to be present for them during difficult times. Looking back on their stories and my own, I realize that many of those experiences were, in fact, unrecognized traumas whose aftereffects had lingered long after the event itself.

Since I began interacting with survivors of complex trauma via coaching, I have been truly inspired by their stories of strength, courage and resilience. I know firsthand how hard it can be to regulate our responses, in both body and mind, while in the grips of a challenging situation (or even triggering memory), and to fight our way back to equilibrium alone. But I also know how empowering it can feel to take up the reins of our own self-care with the support of a compassionate coach who walks alongside us, helping us get back on our feet when we stumble (and we will!), and celebrating our progress on our healing journey.
 

My goal is to help fellow survivors—who might be struggling with unaddressed traumas and unmet needs—understand their past without dwelling on it, recognize just how much they have borne and survived, and marshal their own strengths to heal the past and build hope for the future.
