I have expertise with trauma in general, the diagnosis of PTSD is less important than the reaction you are having to whatever trauma/s you experience. I consider trauma to be inclusive of the trauma of systemic injustices. So much of what gets labeled a emotional or behavioral disorder is actually a reaction to trauma. If you or your child are having problems that you think might have something to do with experiencing, witnessing, or hearing about traumatic things I can help.

You aren't sure if you need therapy but you have some big questions about yourself. If you are wondering if something is wrong with you, or just the world you live in, an evaluation can get you answers. But you don't feel comfortable spilling your guts to a stranger and are worried about what judgement you might have to deal with. I make evaluation a therapeutic process - where you feel completely understood and definitely not judged. Let's look at the big picture together and get some answers!

My style of coaching is informed by CBT. CBT is an approach that helps you feel better by teaching you about the connection between your thoughts, actions, and feelings. I help you master the tools to help you identify, challenge, and change your unhelpful thoughts and actions that are keeping you stuck.

Motivational Interviewing (or MI if you'd like another acronym) is a type of questioning that helps generate motivation from within you. It is about identifying if you really want to do something, why you want to do it, and figuring out what is getting in the way. It helps conversation be more about feeling heard and getting to what is right for you instead of a verbal tug of war about what you "should" do, say, or think.

Call it whatever you need to - burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, secondary trauma, moral injury. The trouble you have with job stress you have is NOT your fault. As a helping professional you likely feel the constant tug of war between caring for people and needing to somehow take care of yourself. I can help you figure it out in a way that lets you continuing being the kind and compassionate person you are without getting burnt to a crisp in the process.

As a helping professional when you go beyond burnout you enter compassion fatigue - you lose the ability to care for yourself and others the way that deep down you probably still want to. You lose the satisfaction you used to feel when you help others and you get tired of caring. Instead you start to wonder who is going to help you. You deserve to be happy, proud, and satisfied with your work again.

I work with people in packages of 12 coaching sessions. Why 12? I know that what we are working on is hard and takes to practice and problem solving before you are ready to do it on your own. 12 weeks is the minimum time I've found people need to find and maintain success.
