What can Jesus teach us about emotional intelligence?

More than we might initially think.

Jesus experienced and expressed emotion. He showed compassion. He asked thoughtful questions. He set boundaries. He navigated conflict, responded to criticism, connected deeply with people—and knew when to step away.

At our next Coffee Chat: EI + Jesus, we’ll look at familiar moments from the life of Jesus through the lens of emotional intelligence and consider what His example can teach us about the way we understand ourselves, respond to our emotions, and relate to the people around us.

☕ Come grab some coffee and join the conversation.

Food for thought: Counseling and coaching are different—but that doesn’t mean they never overlap.

In general, counseling can help when something is getting in the way of functioning, healing, or feeling steady. Coaching typically starts from a more stable place and focuses on growth, development, and moving toward what’s next.

But here’s an important distinction: counseling has goals, too.

Sometimes those goals are about getting out of the pit—reducing distress, healing, changing patterns, and finding solid ground. And sometimes, once the ground is steady, those goals shift toward growth, stronger relationships, greater self-awareness, and moving forward with intention.

Coaching may start further down the path, but counseling doesn’t necessarily have to end once you get there.

As counselors, we can help you find solid ground—and help you grow from there.

Catherine may be one of the quieter voices in the room, but when she speaks, there’s usually something thoughtful behind it.

As an EMDR-trained clinician, Catherine specializes in working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma. She brings a steady presence to the counseling room and a willingness to sit with the deeper, more complicated parts of someone’s story.

She’s also invested in helping other counselors grow, contributing to the training and development of interns over the years.

Outside of counseling, Catherine is a freelance photographer—another space where her ability to slow down, pay attention, and notice what others might miss comes through.

Quiet, creative, thoughtful, and deep—we’re grateful for the perspective Catherine brings to our team and the care she brings to her clients.

We call them “soft skills,” but their impact is anything but soft.

Self-awareness. Emotional regulation. Empathy. Communication. The ability to navigate conflict and build trust. These skills shape the way we lead—and the people we lead experience the difference.

At our next Coffee Chat: EI + Leadership, we’re digging into why emotional intelligence matters, what the research tells us, and how we can put it into practice in the way we lead every day.

☕ Friday, August 28 | 9:00–10:30 AM
Doors open at 8:30 for coffee + light snacks.

Meet Travis!

Travis is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, and EMDR Consultant with a deep interest in the connection between faith, mental health, and neuroscience.

One of his passions is helping believers bridge the gap between their spiritual beliefs and thoughtful, research-informed mental health care. He believes we don't have to choose between taking our faith seriously and taking good clinical care seriously.

That passion for understanding the brain also led Travis to found Paraklete, where he provides LENS Neurofeedback.

Whether he's counseling, consulting, or learning something new about the brain, Travis brings curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to caring for the whole person.

We're grateful he's part of the Full Life team!

What separates a good leader from an exceptional one?

IQ and technical skills matter—but as leaders take on greater responsibility, emotional intelligence becomes increasingly important.

In The Emotionally Intelligent Leader, Daniel Goleman writes:

“The higher the rank of a person considered to be a star performer, the more emotional intelligence capabilities showed up as the reason for his or her effectiveness.”

His analysis also found that among senior leaders, nearly 90% of the difference between star performers and average performers was attributable to emotional intelligence factors rather than cognitive abilities.

☕ Join us for a Coffee Chat on Emotional Intelligence & Leadership as we explore why EQ matters in leadership and how developing these competencies can help us lead ourselves and others more effectively.

Great leadership requires more than what you know. It’s also about how you show up.

Emotional intelligence is more than a single skill—it’s a set of interconnected competencies that shape how we understand ourselves, navigate emotions, and connect with others.

These competencies can be summarized into four key domains, and together, they can influence everything from the way we lead and work to the way we build relationships and communities.

At Full Life, we believe strengthening emotional intelligence is one way we can help create healthier individuals, stronger relationships, and healthier communities.

If there’s a book on it, there’s a good chance Kerrah has read it.

Kerrah is a skilled clinician who brings thoughtfulness, curiosity, and a deep commitment to learning to her work. She also invests in the next generation of counselors by supervising new clinicians, both here at Full Life and throughout our community.

Her work extends beyond the counseling room, too. Kerrah is a writer with articles published in newspapers and online, and she is the host of the Be Known podcast, where she continues conversations about the things that matter to her and her work.

Kerrah is someone who is always learning, always thinking, and always willing to share what she’s learned with others. We’re grateful for the knowledge and experience she brings to Full Life.
