Are you in a relationship that leaves you drained and feeling like you're crazy?

Did you grow up without a lot of love and now you're trying to figure out how to love yourself.

Maybe you're just overwhelmed, stuck, or depressed.

I've felt a lot of those things myself and I'd love to help you with life coaching. Keep reading to find out how.

Hello! My name is Mandy, and I am looking forward to working with you!

I graduated from Concord University with a Regent’s degree with an emphasis in psychology and social work. I studied Professional Writing at Liberty University. I have not graduated yet, but I worked on dialectical behavior therapy, the four agreements, and journal writing for people who have experienced narcissistic abuse for my thesis. Also, I was a McNair scholar at Concord University and did my graduate research project on perception of sexual abuse victims based on their gender roles. Additionally, I have interned at Covenant House’s homelessness programs and as a caseworker for their HIV/AID program as well as coordinating a smoking cessation program through the American Lung Association. I have also experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent and while dating. I was also physically, sexually, and emotionally abused. I have dealt with the depression and anxiety that come with abuse. I know I was lacking in basic regulation and emotional skills that I needed to thrive and love myself, so I understand what it is like to need a life coach. Sometimes you just need someone to help you navigate the day to day functioning until you can learn to do it yourself. You're not abnormal and you're not alone. You just need a life coach.

 As a life coach, I am looking forward to assisting you gain coping techniques to improve your daily activities. I use a variety of resources including dialectical behavior theory, cognitive-behavior theory, the psychology of religion, and psychoanalysis theory. My approaches are influenced by Jung, Erikson, Maslow, Skinner, James, Pavlov, and Rodgers. 

I specialize in helping people who have suffered from narcissistic abuse, physical/mental/sexual abuse, religious abuse, and depression or anxiety. 

  I teach coping skills from dialectical behavior theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, and archetype/shadow work from psychoanalysis theory. Things that we can work on during coaching sessions include: 

· Learning coping techniques from dialectical behavior theory, to help you regulate your behavior and emotions

· Examining your behavior through Jung’s archetypes by doing shadow work

· Changing your thoughts and behaviors with behavior modification theories 

· Learning mindfulness to decrease anxiety and feel more in charge of your choices

· Using journaling techniques to improve your health habits and reduce stress

· Using various meditation techniques such as mindfulness meditation, crystal meditation, guided imagery, angel meditation, and body scanning

· Examining solutions using bibliotherapy

· Learning self-love as well as improving relationships by learning boundaries and social skills

· Looking to religion to find inner peace…all religions welcome!

· Learning life skills that you feel you are lacking such as budgeting, cooking, or job searching

I am not a licensed therapist. I am a life coach. I can not bill insurance or offer formal diagnoses. I offer a variety of program plans with various price points. I offer monthly and bi-weekly payment options. I work out of my home if you are local, phone for local or clients in the US, and through Zoom for any clients. You can sign up for a free 60-minute assessment with me to see if we might be a good fit and so I can get to know you.

Sessions are $75 a week. You can book as many or as few sessions as you'd like, however, if you book a weekly session, you'll get my introductory offer. The week you book a session, you will have an hour long coaching session and one free coaching phone call a day for 30 minutes. Coaching calls are an opportunity to have someone go through a stressful event (unless I'm in a session I will try to call you back within 15 minutes) or some aspect of their day with a supportive person. This is a program introduction offer, so please take advantage of it. There's no catch, but I'd love to have an honest review of the coaching so I can help more people.
