coaching with Jen

You don't need to become someone new.

You need to learn how to stay with yourself—even when someone else's reaction leaves you feeling unsure of yourself.

Maybe you replay conversations, wonder whether you said the wrong thing, or feel compelled to make things better when someone you care about is upset.

You may understand some of your patterns already. But in the moments that matter, knowing why you react a certain way doesn't always help you respond differently.

Private coaching is a six-month, one-on-one journey to help you understand these patterns, develop a more supportive relationship with yourself, and practice new ways of navigating relationships without automatically setting your own needs aside.

Is this you?

This work may be for you if:

  • You question yourself when someone is disappointed, frustrated, or upset with you.

  • You spend a lot of energy trying to figure out what someone else is thinking or feeling.

  • You can feel clear about what you think or need—until someone else's reaction makes you doubt yourself.

  • You find yourself explaining, apologizing, accommodating, or trying to fix things before you've had a chance to check in with yourself.

  • You recognize familiar patterns in your relationships but aren't sure how to change them.

You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. We start with what's happening in your life now.

The ROOT Process™

Stay rooted in yourself, even when relationships get difficult.


The ROOT Process™ brings together three interconnected areas of our work. Rather than following a fixed sequence, we move through them with flexibility, meeting you where you are and building on what you're ready to explore and practice.

What's Happening Now

Slow down the moments when you feel triggered. Explore the stories you tell yourself and what's happening in your body, while learning to work with your nervous system through simple, supportive practices.

What You Learned

Explore where the pressure to keep others happy, avoid conflict, or question yourself began—and the beliefs about relationships that still shape how you respond today.

What's Possible Now

Learn to care for the younger parts of you connected to old relationship patterns as you practice new ways of responding. Discover, through real-life experiences, that different ways of relating to yourself and others are possible.

The training behind my approach

I'm a Trauma-Informed Master Coach, having completed a nearly year-long training program with Alexi Panos, Preston Smiles, Christine Hassler, and Stefanos Sifandos.

I've also completed Level 3 specialized training in the Relationship Recovery Process, studied shame with David Bedrick, founder of the UnShaming Way, and I’m a certified yoga teacher.

My training includes nervous-system awareness, somatic practices, and parts work, alongside other approaches I draw on based on each client's needs. Together, these inform how I help women understand their relationship patterns and develop a more compassionate and trusting relationship with themselves.

I bring hundreds of hours of coaching experience to this work, along with a decade of experience doing my own work around people-pleasing and perfectionism. I know how deeply these patterns can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others.

What working together looks like

Private coaching is a six-month journey, giving us time to understand the patterns that shape your relationships and practice new ways of responding.

We generally meet twice a month for 60-minute sessions, using what's happening in your life and relationships as the starting point for our work. Our work is individualized, and additional sessions may be incorporated when deeper exploration or integration would be helpful.

The work continues between sessions. You'll practice body-based and other nervous-system regulation tools that help you create a pause when familiar reactions arise. As we work together, we'll tailor these practices to your needs and explore how to apply what you're learning in everyday relationships.

There may also be opportunities for deeper reflection, such as journaling prompts, which you can choose to explore at your own pace. At times, I may ask you to complete and share a reflection between sessions as part of our work together.

How coaching differs from therapy

Coaching and therapy can both offer valuable support, but they serve different purposes.

My coaching focuses on self-awareness, self-trust, nervous-system support, and practicing new ways of responding in your current life and relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, with attention to your pace, sense of choice, and capacity to engage with the work.

We may explore earlier experiences to better understand patterns that are still showing up today, but our work is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment.

Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions and is not a substitute for therapy or other clinical care. If therapeutic support is needed, we can discuss whether coaching is appropriate alongside that care or at another time.

What becomes possible

Imagine getting triggered but finding your way back to yourself sooner, rather than spending hours replaying what happened.

Making a decision that feels right for you and feeling more solid in it, even when someone else disagrees.

Being able to speak honestly about what you think, feel, or need, even when it's uncomfortable.

Noticing an old pattern as it's happening and having a little more room to choose how you respond.

Recognizing that someone else can be upset without it automatically becoming your responsibility to fix.

These aren't promises of perfect relationships or never feeling triggered again. They're examples of the kinds of shifts we can work toward over time. Explore what previous clients have said about working with me.

The goal isn't to control how other people respond. It's to develop more trust in your ability to stay connected to yourself, whatever comes up.

Let’s explore working together

I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching for women who want to better understand their relationship patterns and begin practicing something different.

I typically work with clients over six months, but the length and structure of our work depend on your needs and what we discover together.

The first step is a discovery call. We'll talk about what you're navigating, what kind of support you're looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
