The pain of interpersonal conflict is what most often brings clients in for Non-Violent Communication coaching. When we understand the role of social connection in the wiring of our primate brains, we can see how painful it would be to be in conflict with others.​
​
NVC is powerful because it can give us a common language - one rooted in compassion and honesty. However, that common language necessitates Others to be capable and willing. Sometimes this can happen, and that's fantastic! (It is, in fact, what I use with my mediation clients, with great success.)
​
What I find even more useful about learning NVC is that it is a magnificent personal practice in understanding violence. Not just physical violence but all the more nuanced kinds of violence that we level on each other each day, without realizing. I can attest that the pulling NVC in as a personal practice for myself significantly boosted my ability to introspect and to sort my inner spaces out.
So, in my "Personal NVC" coaching, I teach my clients the basics of NVC, as well as guidance in delving much deeper into the concepts and uses. We look at NVC from a meta-level, exploring it conceptually, as well as using tools like role-playing and journaling to strengthen overall fluency.

The world is a different place in the 2020s... and the workplace is definitely a place we can see this. Businesses were hit hard by the pandemic, and employees are beginning to shift their work values as well. When you throw new technological factors in there, such as AI, the changes are coming quicker and quicker.
​
I think it's clear to see that the future is going to look very different than it ever has. If businesses want to stay afloat as the sands shift, they will need to change the way they approach workplace culture. Seeing people as assets worth investing in seems an inevitable step for those businesses wanting to stay profitable.
The first place to start when creating any group culture is to have a clear way to effectively communicate. Bringing an NVC consultant in can be a great way to start this important process (as well as being a possible tax write-off).
As an NVC consultant, I:
- audit the current culture and provide feedback
- run in-person and online group sessions for the team(s)
- provide one-on-one support for team members
- provide mediation services, should they be necessary
- offer continuing education, according to need

While some interpersonal conflicts can be solved quite quickly, that is not always the case. The miscommunication can even result in longterm damage to the relationship. And the development of other difficulties - such as dysregulated or desperate behaviors - can make the situation even worse.
Most folks either keep attempting to repair these fissures themselves, or turn from the relationship due to the continued pain.
However, when the risk of losing the relationship would be too harmful, it can be helpful to call in a 3rd party to assist in reconnecting and beginning to heal.
My mediation services are based in Non-Violent Communication. The process typically looks something like this:
- I speak to each party separately for better understanding
- I work with each party to assess goals and current climate
- I negotiate agreements for a mediated discussion
- I meet with both parties, assisting with structure and accountability to agreements
- Follow up, according to need
​
This process is effective in most cases, depending on willingness and compassion held by both parties. Click the Connect with Me button if you're interested in discussing this offering.

We see trauma, in our culture, as an individual affliction - a harmful event affecting a person in an adverse way. What we don't often see is how inherent trauma is to literally everything about our current society.
​
However, as classism is squeezing our societies near collapse, we are able to more clearly see the violence and trauma fundamental to the systems of oppressions that govern us. While this is a good thing, it can leave a lot of us feeling helpless and frustrated.
​
The one thing each and every person can do in this current climate is to educate ourselves. We can trace nearly every human ailment back to unresolved trauma and an overall misunderstanding about violence, trauma and consent dynamics. Making ourselves more aware of how things work has a ripple-effect, creating resilience for our communities.
​
While much of this education is a deep, ongoing process, many of the basics can be packaged up in a fairly tidy and easy-to-understand format.
For this reason, I've curated a short list of public presentations I offer:
- Trauma Wounding: How trauma occurs & gets stuck in the body
- Living Traumatized: What life is like for a traumatized person
- What is Consent?: Defining and exploring the basics of consent
- NV-What?: Non-Violent Communication & how it's used
- Explorations in Violence: A deeper dive into the dynamics of violence, through a trauma-informed lens

Trauma healing is something that we are tasked with, as a species.
​
Everyone is affected by it, many of us in ways we don't have words or knowledge to explain. And living as a traumatized person can be absolute hell on earth. For this reason, I believe everyone should have access to the information on trauma, healing, and the nuances of living in a traumatizing world.
​
I offer short videos on TikTok on all of these subjects, completely free of charge. I also provide deep-dives into a wide variety of trauma and healing-related subjects on My Thoughts blog here on the site.

Self-exploration and emotional learning can't start too early. For this reason, I continually create educational materials for youth on emotional intelligence over on Teacher Pay Teachers. These are available for use in the home or in school settings.
