I work with individuals only. I do sessions on Zoom now, and I have found that it is a surprisingly effective way to connect with my clients. I charge $160 an hour, and I send out email invoices for the sessions through Square Payment — however, I don't take insurance. Please call me at 530-308-3867 to set up an appointment or for more information.

Disclaimer: I do not provide clinical diagnosis, medication prescriptions, or other regulated healthcare services. My services are not a replacement for clinical therapy from a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other board-certified healthcare professional.

My coaching program is in complete alignment with modern coaching practices. I teach my clients the life skills for self-healing and life mastery.

I have a certification in Trauma Recovery Skills from Somatopia. The Core Skills Trauma Certificate training program incorporates interventions backed by leading-edge discoveries in the field of trauma recovery, including attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology.

I am also a Trauma Informed Certified Coach. This program focuses on learning the skills to guide clients into embracing their own trauma experience, safely and with compassion. It provided a solid foundation in neuroscience and somatic healing as well as seeing the roots of trauma in the family and society.

The foundation of the Doing Your Work program is the understanding that each of us has an Emotional Body—as real and vital as our physical body. The Emotional Body includes the emotional heart, emotional mind, and autonomic nervous system. It is woven into our physical form, holding our lived emotional experiences.

The core goal of the program is to learn how to feel, listen to, and respond to the emotional experiences that arise in our lives and relationships—especially when we are triggered or reactive. Together in session, we explore and identify the wounded emotional patterns shaped by negative impact in childhood and adult relationships. We develop the skills to bring healing, repair, and resolution to these patterns.

This means gradually becoming conscious of the emotional energy stored in the Emotional Body—where the residue of impact and trauma lives. Whether our wounds stem from neglect, abuse, violence, or emotional denial—or from more subtle but equally damaging dynamics like abandonment, betrayal, or deprivation—the Emotional Body responds with the same intensity and imprint as the physical body.

The parallels are exact. Just as the physical body can suffer from malnutrition, tissue damage, circulation problems, or structural injury, the Emotional Body carries damage in the form of developmental and cognitive impairment, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional fragmentation. The difference is that emotional injury is often frozen in time, sustained through suppression, dissociation, denial, and internal splitting.

The Doing Your Work process restores the Emotional Body and heals the nervous system through four integrated modalities:

• 1. Emotional Literacy and Sobriety Developing the ability to feel, identify, and articulate our emotions—while containing them in grounded, relationally responsible ways.
• 2. Breathwork and Cognitive Awareness Using integrative breathing and trauma-informed awareness to awaken the Emotional Body, balance the nervous system, and reconnect with the authentic self.
• 3. Boundaries and Grief Resolution Reclaiming boundaries, processing relational grief, and restoring the emotional voice through narrative healing and relational repair.
• 4. Reparenting the Inner Child and Teen Building an emotionally integrated foundation by reconnecting with our younger selves and establishing internal safety, guidance, and care.

The ultimate aim of this work is to bring all emotional experience into a space of acceptance, integration, and self-nurturing—through a balanced, regulated nervous system. As the heart and emotions reunite, the mind can finally receive this new love as truth, shedding the wounded thinking we carry from dysfunctional relationships. From here, our authentic emotional voice can emerge—restoring choice, coherence, and love to our lives and relationships.

And in that alignment, our lives can truly begin to work—and the miracles of love become possible.
