Have you ever hit rock bottom in your life or been in the midst of a crisis where you couldn’t see your way out? Have you ever been in an unmanageable situation that left you feeling hopeless, where all you could feel was the darkness closing in on you? Crises occur when individuals are unable to deal effectively with stressful changes in their environment causing them to reach a point where they are so unhappy and without hope that they can’t feel any worse. Crisis is a point in time that allows the opportunity for positive change, but most don’t see that when they’re in the thick of it because of the psychological disequilibrium they are experiencing. The events that trigger this crisis can run the gamut of life experiences, from natural disasters, to the death of a loved one, to loss or drastic changes in relationships, any major life change that can cause an individual to struggle processing. For many people, the ability to handle change is something that is learned over time, but recurring crises can make this more difficult. A crisis may cause a person to lose their ability to cope with stress, trauma, grief, guilt, shame, or any other dilemma, causing them to lose their mental balance or even relapse into old habits. That’s where I come in! 

My purpose as a Nurse Coach is:

• To be a beacon of hope in the lives of individuals going through crises or processing intensely stressful events

• To help them return to the level of functioning they had before the event,

• To assist them in coping with future difficulties more effectively.

My focus is on:

• Minimizing the stress of the event

• Providing emotional support

• Helping you improve your coping strategies in the here and now

• Then helping you create solutions to your problems.

I have learned to cultivate hope within and I want to help you do the same. Hope provides a feeling of empowerment. Hope can raise those feelings of confidence and decrease those self-defeating thoughts and negative self-talk.

I will walk by your side through your darkness in search of your guiding light. I will help you transform your feelings of hopelessness, too feeling hopeful again. Choosing to recover out loud so others stop suffering in silence. I promise you there is a way out, and things can get better.
