Coaching Services
Coaching at Seen & Held starts with you—your goals, your circumstances, and the unique ways you think, process, and navigate the world.
Together, we make sense of what you're experiencing, explore what may be getting in the way, and find approaches that work with you rather than against you.
You don't have to know exactly what you need before we begin. We can figure that out together.
Intro/ Exploration Session
(20-30 minutes)
A virtual session offered to new clients who want to explore whether coaching with me feels like the right fit. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what support might look like, and what you’re hoping to shift or understand. This is a gentle, low-pressure starting point — just a space for us to meet, connect, and see what feels aligned.
Free for New Clients
Virtual platform options: Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams
Individual Coaching
(60 minutes)
Bring what you're trying to figure out. Maybe you're working toward a goal, navigating a transition, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or trying to understand why something that seems to work for everyone else doesn't seem to work for you.
We'll think through it together—looking at what matters to you, how you naturally operate, what may be getting in the way, and what might actually work. Along the way, we'll notice the strengths and resources you already have and find meaningful steps toward your goals and the life you want to build.
The goal isn't to make you better at fighting yourself. It's to understand yourself well enough to find a way forward that fits.
You don't need to have it all figured out before you show up.
Sessions are available virtually (Zoom or Google Meet). In-person sessions may be available locally, depending on distance and availability, for clients within roughly a 10-mile radius of Tacoma, WA. Sessions take place in mutually agreed-upon public locations such as parks or quiet coffee shops. I do not offer in-home sessions at this time.
Leadership & Executive Coaching

Leadership and executive coaching supports people holding responsibility for teams, systems, culture, or strategy.

This container is especially suited for leaders, mentors, and coaches who value psychological safety, integrity, and humane leadership.

Dementia Support & Consulting
Support for families, caregivers, and care teams navigating dementia who are seeking thoughtful, creative, and human-centered approaches to care.
These consultations focus on understanding the person behind the diagnosis, identifying relational and environmental stressors, and developing practical strategies that honor dignity, safety, and connection. Sessions offer a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and explore next steps with clarity and compassion.
This work is informed by years of supporting people living with dementia in finding moments of connection, meaning, and safety — and helping caregivers slow down enough to see the whole person beyond the diagnosis. These experiences shape a way of working that is practical, compassionate, and grounded in real caregiving realities.
Dementia support consultations may include:
Making sense of challenging behaviors and changes in communication
Identifying unmet needs and the underlying messages behind behaviors
Adapting care approaches to real-life family dynamics and environments
Helping caregivers create meaningful activities and moments of connection for the person with dementia
Exploring creative solutions when “standard advice” doesn’t fit
Supporting caregivers in regulation, communication, and decision-making
This offering is non-clinical and does not replace medical, psychiatric, or therapeutic care. It is designed to complement existing care and provide relational support for those holding complex caregiving roles.
Fee:
$150 for a 60-minute consultation
Group consultations for families or care teams are available by request. Scope and pricing are determined based on group size and needs.
Training, Workshop& Speaking
Relational, human-centered offerings designed for organizations, care teams, and community groups seeking meaningful learning grounded in trauma-informed, dementia-informed, and neuroinclusive practices. These trainings and talks focus on cultivating psychological safety, empathetic communication, and deeper relational awareness—supporting environments where people feel seen, included, and able to engage fully.
Sessions are reflective and interactive, tailored to the needs of each audience, balancing education with lived experience and real-world application. Rather than prescribing rigid frameworks or one-size-fits-all solutions, this work centers curiosity, dignity, and connection—inviting participants to explore how small, intentional shifts can create lasting cultural and relational change.

This training supports teams in cultivating environments where people feel safe to speak, learn, ask questions, and engage without fear of shame, dismissal, or retaliation. Grounded in trauma-informed, dementia-informed, and neuroinclusive practices, the session explores how psychological safety is shaped through everyday interactions, leadership behaviors, communication patterns, and environmental cues.
Participants learn to recognize how stress, power dynamics, cognitive load, and lived experience influence behavior—and how small, intentional shifts can foster trust, regulation, and shared responsibility within teams.
Sessions are reflective, practical, and adaptable to the needs of each audience.

This workshop explores how storytelling—both spoken and unspoken—shapes belonging, identity, and psychological safety in care and work environments. Drawing from trauma-informed, dementia-informed, and neuroinclusive perspectives, participants examine how stories can foster empathy and connection when used intentionally, and how they can cause harm when used without care.
The session emphasizes ethical storytelling, deep listening, and honoring lived experience without oversharing or exploitation—inviting participants to use narrative as a bridge rather than a barrier.
Sessions are reflective, practical, and adaptable to the needs of each audience.

This training focuses on strengthening empathetic communication in environments shaped by stress, trauma, cognitive diversity, and complex care needs. Grounded in trauma-informed, dementia-informed, and neuroinclusive practices, the session reframes communication as a tool for regulation, relationship-building, and mutual understanding.
Participants learn to interpret communication breakdowns as signals of unmet needs rather than resistance or failure, and to respond with curiosity, attunement, and clarity—even in moments of tension or uncertainty.

This workshop centers on seeing and supporting the person beyond the diagnosis. Participants explore dementia-informed and trauma-informed approaches that prioritize dignity, identity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection.

Sessions are reflective, practical, and adaptable to the needs of each audience.

This interactive session introduces improv-informed tools to support flexibility, presence, and connection in dementia care. Grounded in the principles of “yes, and,” curiosity, and attunement, participants learn how to move with uncertainty rather than against it.
The workshop emphasizes responsiveness over correction, helping caregivers adapt in the moment, reduce distress, and create shared experiences that support emotional safety and connection—even when plans change or communication becomes challenging.
Sessions are reflective, practical, and adaptable to the needs of each audience.
-
This workshop explores how language shapes culture, relationships, and psychological safety—often in subtle, unconscious ways. Participants examine how everyday words, phrases, and narratives can either reinforce fear, hierarchy, and exclusion or foster dignity, trust, and belonging.
