Redeem Old Wounds
Trauma-Informed Narrative Coaching can help you:
I come alongside my clients as they explore the stories of harm and heartache that have impacted how they relate to themselves, others, and the world, and I help them discover the path forward to transformation and healing.
Rediscover Joy & Connection
Joy flourishes in an environment of safety and connection, when those around us truly see and delight in us. I help my clients move toward deeper connections in their lives and toward the joy that God has made them for.
As Maya Angelou said, “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.” I help my clients understand their story in a way that integrates their past and present, which allows them to chart a new course forward in line with their gifting and desires.
Confidently Own Your Story
“Doing story work with David changed my life. David walked with me, he cried with me, he cried for me; he fought for me and my broken heart. The deep hurts of my heart that I couldn’t seem to fix or get to… we walked there together, through the fire and back. I’ve seen healing that I never thought possible. I’ve experienced God’s kindness and mercy like I never imagined.”
Sean R., Surgeon & Missionary
As a certified Narrative Focused Trauma Care practitioner, I help people make sense of who they are in the present based on the formative events that have shaped their past — because when you own your story, you can move toward true transformation.

Why Clients Choose Shalom Restored Coaching
“Freedom and Transformation. Those are the words I would use to describe the outcome of working with David. Freedom from allowing old wounds to control my present. Transformation through moving from feeling self-condemnation to self-care and allowing God’s love and kindness toward me to shape my life story. I had no idea that healing like this was possible. David is a gifted listener who walks alongside you in empathy and skill.”
Sean M., Pastor
“I found story work to be incredibly powerful. David listened and honored my stories, and he helped me process things that have happened in my life that have kept me stuck for years. The way he walked alongside me and engaged my stories taught me how to be kind and loving toward myself. I’m free now to give myself a break and allow myself to rest. I was able to let go of things in my growing up years that I had no business taking responsibility for. I have peace and acceptance now.”
