Hi, I’m Tori.

Why I'm Here.

I’m a Writer, Educator, and Homecoming Coach.

I spend my time in purpose supporting people on their journey to develop deeper connections with themselves, their loved ones, and their lives.

I hang out in a few different places.

TikTok is where you’ll find the shorter gut-punch videos people seem to love so much. :)

YouTube is where I post longer video content. Basically whatever doesn’t fit on TikTok that I want to talk more about.

Here on the newsletter you’ll see the most in-depth and actionable content I’ve got, including but not limited to:

My coaching program is where you can skip the library and start working with me directly. Click here to learn more about that.

My job is not to tell you what to do or who to be. It's to help you discover what those answers are for yourself.

I do this using a fusion of Compassionate Inquiry, Parts Work, and Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies.

Basically, I spend a lot of my time helping clients:

Resolve inner conflict and conflict with loved ones
Understand the root of their patterns & triggers
Connect with their emotional bodies
Regulate & hold space for challenging emotions
Face & release old pain
Connect to knew, present, and better feeling emotional experiences for today
Remember who they are.
Develop a deeper sense of self-compassion & connection
Identify and get rid of old adaptive & coping strategies that are no longer working, while replacing them with something that will work better for them
Develop a practice of boundaries, as well as vulnerability
Feel more present and connected in their current-day lives

We do a good bit of trauma-focused work, but we’re not sitting around talking about the past all the time.

I’m constantly learning & consider myself a lifelong student. Here are some areas I pull from to support me in supporting my clients…

Personal Experience. (You'll read and see a lot about those all over my content).

Experiences around me, such as clients, friends, family, media, stories, etc.

A growing network of social workers & other coaches who do similar work

Ongoing training & education in:

Independent study including but not limited to:
