I Help People Get Unstuck

I provide a safe, shame-free space for clients who have experienced relational / complex / developmental trauma, or somehow gotten stuck. A place where you can heal and create a life you love. Complex PTSD can be effectively healed and post-traumatic growth can occur.

I believe we all have the innate capacity and drive to heal whatever we’ve been through. And CPTSD can now be effectively resolved with the right kind of support. Relational trauma needs relational healing. I’ve been through CPTSD, so I understand and won’t pathologize you.

It would be my honor to help you let go of what you’ve been through, dissolve shame and discharge fear, get unstuck & free your inborn capacities for healthy growth.

I See You

Relational trauma survivors have often never been seen for who they actually are. In narcissistic and abusive relationships, you get told who you are, and it has nothing to do with the real you.

Let’s discover your Authentic Self. You are enough; you are what you ought to be.

I hear You

When’s the last time you were carefully listened to by somebody who actually gets it?

Telling your story and being heard, understood, and validated breaks the hold of grooming lies and brings freedom from toxic shame and fear.

I Care

I am a survivor of developmental and shock traumas. I understand at a fundamental level what you’re going through. It can be a nightmare.

I enjoy leading others into healing, peace, joy, and freedom.

You Matter

Relational trauma survivors are groomed to believe they don’t matter, don’t deserve much, can’t get much, and have nothing to offer. These ideas do not reflect reality.

I’m here to see you through your healing until you create the life you want and are free to offer the world the gifts only you have to give.

What is the Process?

Our collaborative and mutual intersubjective relationship is the field in which healing occurs. We don’t focus on potentially re-traumatizing rehearsals of the past. There’s plenty we all carry forward into our present lives. We start by clarifying your intention for what you most want for yourself now.

Then we get non-judgmentally curious about learned internal obstacles between you and your heart’s desire; old patterns that perpetuate suffering. We discover that these are learned, deeply rooted safety-driven adaptative survival strategies, created to deal with very real historical challenges. We respect them and do not set you up to “effort” against them.

Next, we increase agency and dissolve toxic shame by more non-judgmental curiosity about how we actively carry our past into our present. With increasing awareness on all levels of experience, you become able to orchestrate your internal experience harmoniously and relate to all aspects of yourself with compassion and acceptance. Freedom from self-sabotage ensues.

With increasing internal security, it’s safe for all aspects of yourself to exist, and you will discharge built-up shock energy, grieve for yourself, and integrate anger into assertion. Shame-based identity distortions dissolve. You experience new integration, self-regulation, and peace. Agency fuels empowerment – you exercise new freedoms and capacities without guilt. Connectedness, aliveness, and vitality become the new normal. Post-traumatic growth gives new meaning and purpose to life. In the end, the wound is where the light enters you.

First I would like to thank God for introducing me to Coach Jim as I sought help to improve my life. My father is a veteran of the Vietnam war, my mother a difficult person and, now 12 years with a narcissistic husband, as you can imagine, a stormy life.

I have been working with Coach Jim for just under 2 months, and I honestly feel so much better.

The feeling of loneliness is changing as is my posture and energy. The idea that I exist with grace and have the green light to use my abilities for myself and others without the feeling of guilt is a new path for me.

This special coach has valuable information and education to share. He has enlightened some dark spaces and, I am learning to open my eyes and understand others and especially understand myself.

And, I believe the best part is that my life had been transforming like magic while the sessions were happening, learning from a brave, generous, educated, funny, and patient human being; who has led me to new fields and open spaces to create magic improving my life from the inside out and from the outside in.

I like it very much, I recommend it!! Allow yourself the chance to meet him. You won’t lose anything, but there is a latent opportunity for you to be helped in your need(s) by him.

I’ve experienced CPTSD myself, and have learned effective ways to experience real lasting healing. I have a gentle, non-pathologizing, and non-retraumatizing approach to supporting my clients’ innate drive toward, and capacity for, healing and growth.

About Me

I am a survivor of developmental and shock traumas and have worked on recovery for 25 years.

In supporting survivors of relational trauma, I have seen that most of us are stuck in important ways. There is a good reason for this; relational trauma causes Complex PTSD. Unfortunately, the prison of fear and shame that is C-PTSD does not simply resolve with time. It requires some work and safe, competent relational support. I may be able to help; it has been my experience that CPTSD can be healed and it’s worth the effort.

Survivors deserve to transcend echoes of their past, enjoy their lives, and create the future their heart desires. I believe it is possible for you. I’d be honored to play a role in that.
