Hi, I’m Darah
I’m glad you’re here, I believe you’re taking a great first step! I also believe that God has a beautiful plan for your life, but sometimes it just takes another soul walking beside us to begin to see that plan and to gain the courage to step into it.
I’m passionate about helping women struggling through difficult marriages and emotionally destructive relationships, or in need of additional support to get through hard seasons of life.
As a survivor of both trauma and abuse, I understand the effects of pain and hurt; and I also know how good it feels when you begin to heal. Maybe you too are dealing with the effects of emotional wounds. I believe that God doesn’t want for you to stay stuck in those dark places. Though, our situations may look different in some ways, there is often an interconnectedness in the hard times we all face. That is why I love sharing what I’ve learned with women who are seeking healing.
After years of serving in full time missions, I knew God was calling me to serve in a different “field.” Today, I use my past and the lessons I learned from my own healing journey to help women just like you!
I help those I work with to learn…
How to set boundaries when necessary
How to overcome negative self-talk
How to forgive when you just can’t forget
How to prioritize your time, even in the midst of chaotic situations
How to find clarity in your marriage when everything seems hard
How to discern between guilt and shame
How to move forward after church hurt
How to stop unhealthy people pleasing
How to discern what’s in your control and what isn’t

Book a Free Clarity Call
Does something feel “off” in your marriage or you feel unsure if the things you’ve been experiencing are normal? Maybe you’re wondering if what’s been going on is something more serious, possibly even a pattern of abuse? Are you seeking wisdom and clarity regarding your marriage…if so, I offer a free clarity call so we can chat and determine if I can be a help to you and your marriage. Clarity calls are designed for women experiencing marital struggles and problems and are free for the first session. (For follow up sessions be sure to choose from the two options above).
Is coaching right for you?
As a coach, I help you identify goals, either for yourself or for your marriage, and then we work together to set attainable, action steps towards those goals. I use empathetic listening, but I also use motivation and encouragement to keep us moving forward so that we don’t get stuck in the past and you get the most out of our time together. I bring my knowledge of trauma and abuse into sessions when needed, which can be extremely helpful if you have experienced either or both. However, I do not practice common psychotherapy techniques for trauma (such as EMDR or exposure therapy etc.), as I work as a coach and not a licensed therapist. I also use handouts and provide action steps to help you get the most out of coaching. I’m a big believer in self-reflection and clients working between sessions. Though I make no guarantees, I have seen that when a client is truly committed to wanting to change and grow in their life, amazing things can happen!
