Coaching StyleI am inquisitive by nature. My coaching style flows from curiosity and compassion. I have a keen eye for converting challenges into opportunities for meaningful growth and create safe spaces for clients to discern their motivations, values, and vision for optimal health.The Hope & VisionI am passionate in walking alongside clients as they heal from trauma. To counter the vicious cycle of rumination, I guide clients to engage the present moment by immersing in the five senses, practicing autonomous reframing to foster a sense of control, and exercising the imagination through the visualization of safety cues.  Together we take a gentle approach, celebrating incremental changes that over time bring the client to a calmer, more regulated parasympathetic state.Mind-Body FocusTrauma can disrupt our autonomic nervous system. Essentially, we're stuck in high gear and to use the analogy of a car, the body has a difficult time 'downshifting.' I'm also certified and trained in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy by The Embody Lab. This informs my unique approach to support mind-body connection. How this impacts our sessions means there will be times where we use cognitive behavioral coaching to reframe the issue, and other times we will focus on body awareness identifying where stress patterns are held.Resourcing Practices and ModalitiesI share resourcing tools with clients to support in maintaining momentum in their healing journeys which includes:- Breathing Techniques- Mindfulness- Somatic Awareness- Emotional Processing- Guided Visualizations- Reframing with Positive Psychology- Reframing for Self Agency- Intentional Movements- Integrating Mind-Body Connection
