I am a Trauma-Informed Life Coach (soon to start certification program, will be completed 2024) and feel confident to walk with clients through whatever leg of this journey called life you are on. I specialize in assertive and healthy communication skills building, boundary setting, advocating for needs/desires/wants in work and in relationships, recognizing poor coping strategies and learning new ones, and much more. Together, we can create movement in life, love, business, and self.
I specialize in trauma-informed business consulting for licensed mental health clinicians who want to start their own private practice, who want to level up their private practice and/or those seeking business advice for operating a private practice and those seeking clinical consultation for insurance issues, tough client situations, and how to be trauma-informed in your practice.
Unfortunately, no. My private practice is currently full. However, if you have never been in mental health treatment before and/or have more minor concerns (like learning new ways to cope or communicate or set boundaries), then I am taking on new Coaching Clients and sessions can be conducted via video or phone, and either 30 mins or 60 mins.
