"JUST BE YOURSELF" THEY SAY
Sounds easy enough, right?
But for survivors of abuse, it's likely the bravest thing they'll ever do.
Are you looking for a new kind of support?
​
One that offers compassion—but doesn’t pity you or your pain.
One that honors the strength it took to survive.
Welcome to my trauma informed coaching practice!
Being trauma informed means that my practice is anchored in deep respect for the lived experience of each individual. I recognize that trauma—especially from abuse—can shape how we think, feel, respond, and relate to ourselves and the world around us.
​
This approach has nothing to do with “fixing” or “saving” you.
Instead, it honors your resilience, helps you understand how past trauma may still show up in your daily life, and creates a safe space for healing, growth, and transformation.
​
Drawing on my own journey with sexual and emotional abuse, 30+ years of experience as a group facilitator, and my work as a mentor and certified trauma informed life coach, I help survivors reconnect with, accept, and love their true and authentic selves.
​
Because I believe every woman, man, and child deserves to receive unconditional love — from the people around them, and especially from themselves.

COME HOME TO YOURSELF
Abuse—whether emotional, physical, or sexual—distorts your self-image. It teaches you to disconnect from what you feel and who you are.
A survival strategy—is what it teaches you. To others you may seem fine; you put on a brave face, a facade, and hide your pain. On the inside you tell yourself things like: "It's your own fault", "You asked for it", "You should have walked away", "It wasn't that bad"...
Healing from abuse and its aftermath, starts with feeling safe. From this sense of safety, you can slowly heal. Learn to accept and forgive yourself.
​
So that one day you can look in the mirror, and you see someone worth loving. You! Not just your beautiful hair, or a beautiful smile—I mean all of you: Your authentic, and beautiful essence.
Don’t get me wrong—being authentic is not who you think you should be. Being authentic is be who you were always meant to be.
​
And let me tell you...
​
“Just be yourself” may very well be the bravest (and hardest) thing you'll ever do.
