As a professional life coach and counselor, specializing in trauma recovery, it is my responsibility to understand your needs and proceed accordingly. Each individual person thinks and behaves in ways that are unique to them, therefore it is imperative to approach each client with fresh eyes and a full tool box. There are many different theoretical approaches at the disposal of the life coach, humanistic, pluralistic, holistic, transpersonal, and more, that can be incorporated into the therapeutic process , my personal preference is a bit eclectic and incorporates bits and pieces of each approach.
Coaching is a client led practice which means that my goal as their coach is to meet them where they are with compassion and empathy, without judgment or expectation. My hope is to give them an opportunity to see life differently, to become a creative designer of their personal healing and evolution as they begin to manifest the lives they were meant to be living, their best life.
The best way for me to maintain integrity to my perspective is to inspire others to live their best life by living my best life. I need to keep myself accountable to practicing what I preach, if I recommend journaling, praying, breathing exercises, meditation, positive affirmation or mindful self-soothing, then I need to be doing it as well. It is easy to slip in the muck while trying to help someone out of it, but taking care of yourself first is like wearing a harness that keeps you from slipping in and supports you as the two of you make your way back out. I cannot not change, modify, or mold you as my client, however, I can model the changes I would like to see and provide the place and tools necessary for the client to explore the kind of person they want to be.

My name is Skye, I specialize in Trauma Informed Life Coaching and Counseling, with a holistic and integrative approach to healthcare services and therapy by focusing on the unity of mind, body, and spirit, through meditation, mindfulness, emotion regulation, Reiki, ThetaHealing, and holistic essential oil remedies.
I hold a BS in Social Psychology with emphasis in Clinical and Abnormal Psychology, a MS in Psychology with emphasis in Life Coaching, and a Post-Master of Science in Counseling with emphasis in Trauma Recovery. In 2017 I became a small business owner of Love and Light Therapy, LLC.
I love seeing the beauty of life in even the smallest of things. The sunshine, rippling waters, fragrant flowers, and cool sea breeze keep me grounded and alive. I love painting and reading, being outdoors and laughter. I choose to continue my educational pursuits so that I may share the knowledge and healing that comes with the merging of academia and experience. I live in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
I dream of one day opening an outdoor camp facility for adults and children struggling with PTSD and CPTSD due to highly traumatic experiences. Encompassing one on one therapy, therapeutic group activities like music, art, caring for support animals, and outdoor therapy which will help clients recenter and ground themselves. There have been many studies that discuss the therapeutic value and personal growth that occurs when distressed individuals can reconnect with themselves through nature. In addition to this, I will also provide skills training through dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapy (DBT and CBT) so that they are able to re-enter their life prepared to overcome the triggers that bring the trauma back to the forefront of the mind and body.
