I wish I had someone in my life when I was younger that would have been able to coach me with specific skills and qualities when my kids were young. I needed to grow in regulating my nervous system by gaining a better understanding of my PTSD. Raising kids has its challenges, but when you add PTSD into the mix you need support from trained people to help you navigate your relationships. You want someone by your side who hears you, who sees your pain, and understands your challenges.
I am a certified life coach with special training in Trauma Informed Care. I am working toward level 2 Natural Lifemanship to do equine assisted activities. Within this framework we can set up goals to develop skills that consider the pervasive nature of trauma and how your nervous system is affected within your relationships.
I believe the mind, spirit and body are all connected. I integrate ways to incorporate new neural pathways that change old patterning using choice, safety, and relational connections. As a Christian, I can incorporate scripture that helps develop a healthy view of God as a loving Father who wants to connect with our heart.
Why should we work together?
I am a professional certified mental health coach under the American Association of Christian Counselors.
I am a professional certified dog trainer under Pat Miller which gives me an even better insight of not only dogs but humans as well.
I believe learning to develop secure connection and detachment are essential to building solid relationships.
I strive to continue to be educated in mental health.
I have been married to my sweet husband for 40 years and therefore have a lot of experience in doing things the hard way and learning better ways.
We have two sons and a daughter-in-law. Both of our sons have dealt with learning disabilities, and one is on the Autism Spectrum. They experienced both public and homeschool. I have served as their advocate when needed.
What makes me unique is that I am good at seeing the roots and patterns of behavior. I am patient while allowing you to move at your own pace. I bring an emphasis on trauma-informed care.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ”
