Experience
​
-
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wesleyan University
-
I have a Masters of Science in Education from Wheelock College
-
Coaching is not a regulated field however I've attended a year-long coach training program and completed two advanced-level coaching programs. I have 8 years of 1:1 and group coaching experience. I specialize in trauma recovery, emotional integration, women's issues, spiritual mentorship, and business coaching.
-
One modality available in my coaching programs is Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT or Tapping and I've been a devoted practitioner for 9 years. I'm currently in a professional certification program with The Center for EFT Studies.
-
Tuning into unseen energy has been a practice of mine from a young age. In the last two years, I've personally experienced the healing benefits of working with the vibrational (subtle) energy of plants. I'm currently in a professional certification program with Brooke Sullivan working with flower essences and am starting to integrate this tool into my work.
-
I have 8+ years of experience in 12-step recovery and have an extensive background in healing addiction and arresting unwanted compulsive behaviors we use to manage the effects of trauma.
-
My time in the recovery rooms has included an ongoing program (8+ years) inside of ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) engaging in deep practice and refinement in family systems, inner parts work, and reparenting.

My work and coaching are for you if... ​
-
You're becoming aware of your emotional patterns and want to break free of them
-
You grew up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional home and are ready to heal the vestiges of that childhood trauma
-
You deal with stress with fawning/people pleasing, internalizing/saying nothing at all, emotional outbursts, or some other maladaptive behavior and want support with changing that
-
You seek approval and affirmation in your life and without it you’re anxious, worried and afraid
-
You get attached to your romantic interests quickly and it’s backfired on you on a few occasions
-
You're in a partnership that's having challenges and you want help
-
You have a pattern of falling for or getting close to emotionally unavailable people and it’s frustrating and painful for you
-
You recognize you have a gift or calling you want to share with the world and feel blocked for some reason or another
-
You want to run your business in way that feels authentic and generative to you

My work and coaching are NOT for you if...​
-
You're closed off to new ideas that could help you get the things you want
-
You blame life on external factors (people, places and circumstances) and operate primarily from a "victim consciousness" believing everything happens to you rather than for you
-
You have painful unprocessed trauma from a recent event or childhood that would be best addressed with a mental health or medical professional
-
You want a place to vent and let out all your pain and anger
