Trauma & Unresolved Distress Resolution
Why I Coach
​As a preteen, I experienced abandonment and hurt from those who were supposed to protect me. Placed in the hands of strangers with harmful intentions, I was too young and naïve to understand the world. This led to poor decisions and difficult experiences during that period of my life. While there is no excuse for what happened, I now channel every bit of that experience into helping others. For decades, I have dedicated myself to empowering and supporting those who have faced similar traumas, and with God's grace, I will continue to do so.
​
I hold no hard feelings for what happened; I recognize that we all have free will. Despite the pain and sin in the world, it is also filled with love and peace. Through hard work and dedication, healing is possible.
​
This personal journey has deeply shaped my approach to trauma coaching. I understand firsthand the complexities of trauma and the profound impact it can have on one's life. My coaching is centered on creating a safe, empathetic, and supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and work towards healing. Together, we address the pain, recognize the strength within, and build a path towards recovery and empowerment. My goal is to guide each individual through their unique journey, helping them transform their past trauma into a source of strength and resilience.

Path to Healing
​​​​​​​The trauma coaching process I offer is grounded in the resolution of unresolved distress. A key part of this journey involves normalizing trauma, recognizing that it is more common than we might think. Often, we normalize trauma to avoid the pain it brings, a form of self-denial that can manifest in beliefs like "everyone feels this way." However, dealing with trauma requires more than just internalizing it; it involves acknowledging its presence and impact on our lives.
​
Indicators of unresolved distress include flashbacks and avoidance behaviors, which signal that there are wounds within us that need attention. Trauma and unresolved distress can be seen as wounds that plunge us into a sea of helplessness, disrupting our sense of predictability and control. Normalization makes us feel as if our experiences are typical when, in reality, they are signs of deeper issues.
​
In many instances, unresolved distress or trauma comes from those close to us. It doesn't have to stem from a single, large event; often, it arises from wounds caused by well-intentioned people in our lives. When something causes us to feel or act in ways we don't desire, it is often due to unresolved distress. This can lead us to either suppress and deny our feelings, becoming passive or people-pleasing, or to adopt a hyper-independent, hardened demeanor. These responses cause us to view ourselves, our lives, and the world differently, resulting in a fragmented sense of self.
​
​In my trauma coaching, we work together to identify these patterns and address the root causes of your distress. My approach is not only supportive and empathetic but also direct, straightforward, and result-oriented. We focus on defragmenting your sense of self and transforming these experiences into sources of strength and resilience. Through this comprehensive methodology, we explore these wounds, understand their impact, and develop effective strategies for healing. The ultimate goal is to help you become a whole, empowered individual.
