I have spent 30 years of my adult life working as a scientist, while concurrently healing through severe childhood trauma. That healing work has brought me to a depth of healing and wholeness which inspires me to support others navigating the many complexities of trauma, especially as it relates to childhood trauma.

I resonate deeply with a quote attributed to Carl Jung: “We aren’t wounded alone, and we don’t heal alone.” I am passionate about creating connections with clients that nurture safe and intimate vulnerability, through which the deepest pain can be transformed to the strongest love.

Complex trauma can result in disconnection with ones’ own heart. I feel strongly that our own hearts' guidance is the strongest source of our expanding wholeness and profound joy. Therefore, my work with clients navigating complex trauma includes nurturing an ever-deepening relationship with their own hearts’ guidance. I also strive to assist in the dissolution of toxic shame and strengthening of one’s own genuine sense of Self.

I employ both a psychological and physiological lens to our work together.

I completed Level 1 Trauma-Informed Coaching training in Jul 2024 with ICF accredited Moving the Human Spirit

I am also a Somatic Experiencing® student and completed year one training in Feb 2025. I anticipate completing the full training program in 2027.

Growing up with secure attachment modeled is comparable to winning the lottery; however, we can learn and build safe secure attachment. I completed the 6.5 hr CE training course Fundamentals of Attachment Styles with Dr. Diane Poole Heller in Apr 2025.

Quoting Frank Anderson MD: “Trauma blocks love and connection; love and connection heal trauma.”

Wishing you boundless love and beauty! ❤️Jan
