FAQ

Pattern Detective™ Pattern Mapping and Ignition Coaching is a specialized approach that helps you identify and understand the hidden patterns in your difficult life experiences - particularly from toxic relationships, narcissistic dynamics, and challenging workplaces and with an expertise in neurodivergence. We focus on making these patterns visible so you can move from confusion to clarity.

Ignition coaching is the "spark" phase that creates the foundation for meaningful change. It's the moment when hidden patterns suddenly become visible and make sense - when you stop questioning yourself and start understanding why you've responded the way you have. Unlike traditional coaching focused on goals and action plans, ignition coaching illuminates the deeper patterns first - not to heal traumas from the past, but to become aware of it. I use proprietary assessment tools, intuitive approaches, somatic awareness work, and metaphor-rich exploration to make complex psychological patterns accessible. The "ignition" creates the recognition and validation, a new spark that lights up your path forward.

My lived experiences, education and specialized trainings allow me to provide trauma-informed insights, recognize complex patterns in relationships and workplace dynamics, and understand how different neurotypes process experiences. Through Pattern Mapping I help you understand psychological concepts ("a-ha!") and their applications to your situation. Additionally, I provide an integrative coaching approach, using innovative methodologies bridging intellectual, somatic and intuitive approaches.

This approach is designed for higher-functioning individuals (scoring 60+ on the GAF (Global Assessment of Functioning scale) who sense something is "off" and are committed to change, but don't know where to go. It's particularly resonant for pattern-thinkers, highly perceptive people, and those who feel misunderstood by conventional approaches. If you're scoring <60 on the GAF, and/or are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a clinical mental health service, emergency services, a crisis hotline, or your local emergency room.

This varies based on individual needs and your growth journey. The Pattern Discovery Assessment provides insights within 3 business days after you complete the assessment (60-90min of investment of your time), while the Growth Pathway Coaching Program offers structured support for implementing lasting change over a period of 3 to 6 months. We can discuss what makes sense for your situation. I cannot guarantee specific outcomes or results. Personal growth is a deeply individual process that depends on many factors including your readiness for change, willingness to engage with the material, life circumstances, and how you choose to apply the insights gained. Pattern recognition and awareness are the first steps in transformation - but lasting change requires your own commitment to implementing new patterns and behaviors over time. Everyone's journey is unique, and what works for one person may manifest differently for another. My role is to provide you with clarity, tools, and insights based on my expertise and training. Your role is to engage authentically with the process and decide how to integrate these discoveries into your life. The value lies in the understanding and awareness you gain, which becomes a foundation for whatever growth path you choose to pursue.

Therapy typically focuses on processing emotions, healing trauma, and treating mental health conditions through ongoing sessions with licensed clinicians. Pattern Detective™ is an educational, ignition and insight-focused approach that helps you recognize and understand the "why" behind your experiences and responses. We're the bridge between feeling stuck and knowing what type of help you need next. Think of us as providing the "aha moment" that helps you understand your patterns before you dive into deeper therapeutic work, understanding better what it is you need next.
