I help to empower people through parts-based self-awareness so they can understand their unhelpful patterns, solve inner conflicts and gain inner harmony.
Meet Carissa D.
Coaching Professional & Archetype Consultant
I truly believe anyone at any age, in any circumstance, is capable of positive change. You have the power within yourself to grow and it doesn't need to be complicated or threatening. The most surprising thing I've learned working with clients is that when you uncover your true self in all its parts and understand your own subconscious patterns and motivations, problems begin to sort themselves out automatically.
​
I believe that when we are stressed and unhappy and unwell, it is largely because we have lost ourselves. We have sacrificed who we were born to be somewhere along the line and are trying to live in a way we were not designed to live. We become fragmented and at war with ourselves. Part of us wants to change but part of us seem frozen. Other parts may appear to be actively against us. And so we remain stuck.
​
"Most people aren't lazy, they're conflicted."
-Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
​
My approach is rooted in parts work, which involves identifying the different archetypes that make up your personality, understanding what they are all trying to accomplish and radically accepting each one. I help you to discover which parts have become overly dominant and which have been shunned. Your inner conflicts and subconscious patterns become clear to you and you realize that all parts at all times are doing their best to help. There is no inner enemy.
This work is rooted in the archetype psychology of Carl Jung, the spiritual archetype work of Caroline Myss and in Internal Family Systems psychology as developed by Dr Richard Schwartz. I also employ principles of neuroscience, mind-body practices and mindfulness to help you move forward.
​
I want you to know that you can overcome. That you have a purpose as your true self, without needing to be anyone else. With willingness and a bit of courage, you can become empowered to live fully and authentically. You can add your light into the chaos, changing yourself and the world around you for the better.
​
I am a logical mystic, equally comfortable in the arenas of science and psycho-spirituality. I am an intuitive listener who gives you space to feel heard and can help you recognize your blind spots. If you are truly ready for a change, let's talk!

Testimonial
"I never thought I would find life coaching useful since I AM a life coach. Boy, was I wrong. Once we got going on archetypes, I never looked back! Wow! It is so fascinating to learn about all the ‘personalities’ who make up Vickie. And how they impact my daily life, choices and emotions.I strongly urge you to just try it. I think you’ll be amazed."
- Vickie V.
"Change is inevitable. Growth is optional."
- John C. Maxwell
Testimonial
"Carissa is a natural listener who is skilled at getting you to think a little deeper. In a year that brought many challenges she helped me navigate my thoughts and develop an action plan, without ever making me feel she was being pushy or judgmental. Carissa is a perfect balance of personal and professional and I highly recommend her coaching."
