The Metaphors to Healing LLC

Practice Overview

I collaborate with clients to help them identify coping skills developed in response to trauma, assess their current effectiveness, and discover new strategies to thrive in the present. My philosophy centers on the idea that individuals labeled with conditions such as CPTSD, anxiety, depression, or substance abuse are often grappling with the aftermath of feeling unsafe in their past. You are not defined by these labels but are a person striving to navigate the challenges life has presented. I believe my clients inherently possess the power to cultivate new coping skills and solutions. Together, we work as peers, exploring strategies that foster growth and well-being. Our approach is based on curiosity rather than judgment as we examine what to add, change, or eliminate for better alignment with our lives. Accountability plays a vital role as we continuously reassess and adapt our strategies, focusing on establishing and upholding boundaries while allowing ourselves grace throughout the process. Using somatic approaches, we explore any discomfort linked to these changes, helping you better understand its source. I support clients both alongside their therapists and those who may not need therapy but seek peer support in their journeys toward personal growth.

The soul always knows how to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” ~Caroline Myss

Corporate Wellness

I offer a collaborative approach for therapists looking to provide their clients with additional support through a trauma recovery coaching lens. While I do not diagnose mental health conditions and cannot work with clients who are actively suicidal, I can support those experiencing suicidal ideations linked to past trauma. Many clients find added validation when working with a secondary source, enhancing their therapeutic experience. My coaching focuses on wellness, goal setting, and accountability. I do not accept insurance, with fees starting at $60/hour and additional time available in 30-minute increments ($30). Sessions can be conducted virtually or in-person, though I prefer in-person for stronger connection. I also provide a free 20-minute consultation for therapists, providers, and clients to address any questions.
