Life is not always easy. It flows in waves of joy, excitement, and fulfillment, often followed by phases of stress, uncertainty, and a lack of inner peace. These challenges might arise from present circumstances or shadows of the past. Over time, these waves can feel like a turbulent rollercoaster ride, one that seems to have no end.

​

You may feel strapped into the wagon, enjoying the initial thrill, only to realize the ride stretches far longer than the ticket promised. It can be overwhelming, even exhausting, frightening, and out of control, while you sit in the wagon that carries your name. 

​

As a resilience and post-traumatic stress coach, I see my role not only as the ticket seller for this ride, but as your partner and companion. This ride can be very enjoyable, clarifying, and purposeful, as long as you are prepared for it. Being aware of what may comes after the highest point can help you avoid the stomach-dropping sensation on the way down, and allow you to control your emotions, fears, and anxieties, or maybe even discover them for the first time, while the wind unravels your hair. If you decide to work with me, I won’t just encourage you to take the ride, I’ll be sitting right next to you in the wagon. I’ll guide you along the track, even when we occasionally may not know what lies beyond the next curve or ascent.

​

It takes courage to take the ride, and I’ll empower you with the speed controller, so you decide how fast or slow we go. There are no records to break, only the experience of the ride itself matters.  We’ll embrace each moment, evaluate the feelings it brings, and, most importantly, you’ll never be alone. Not will I only be next to you, I will also constantly check your seatbelt to ensure safety along our journey.

​

Perhaps a rollercoaster isn’t the metaphor that resonates with you. Maybe you picture something else entirely, or find yourself staring at a blank slate. That’s okay. Together, we’ll uncover the cornerstones of your life’s journey. We will explore where joy and happiness reside, identify and listen to the shadows in the corners, and understand what they’re trying to tell you. Together, we will push aside the dark clouds to let the sunlight in again.

​

Whatever metaphor fits your journey, I’m prepared to meet you there. It would be my honor to be your companion as you move toward clarity, resilience, and a fulfilling life.​​​
