MY STORY
When I was in 7th grade Home Economics we had to share what we wanted to be when we grew up, and then do a special project around it. I wanted to be the next Ann Landers. I wrote her a letter and she wrote me back! I will never forget her perfect penmanship and her basically telling me I can be whomever I want to be. I may have strayed into Marketing Communications for a while...but looks like I landed in my vision.
MY APPROACH
I have a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and emotions. I believe you have everything you need inside of you to work through any issue. It starts with Commitment and it doesn't matter what motivates that. Then Clarity - taking the time to truly understand what your thoughts, needs, and challenges. Followed by Clearing - releasing dysfunctional thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a compassionate and assertive way. And completing with Integration of more productive and positive thoughts and actions. All the therapy I do has and emphasis in Emotional Intelligence (EQ), which increases self-awareness, self-care, and a higher consciousness in all that you do, especially in relation to those whom you respect, care, and love. My style is interactive, experiential, and present-oriented - with the essential goal to live life in the most real, logical, and fulfilling way possible. To THRIVE.
...and believe in the power of Accountability - being really present and respectful of your inner process, and your self as a whole. I view the therapist/client relationship as a partnership, and we will work together to really get clear and create a plan that works for you (and/or your relationship).
PRACTICE AND REPETITION
My methods are experiential and practical, done with compassion and assertion. There will be consistent Practice and Repetition, to embody your experience. Having a special interest in the joining of traditional and holistic therapies, I incorporate body and mind modalities withe behavioral, cognitive, and emotionally-oriented modalities.
I have the philosophy that all we do is motivated by LOVE. I specialize in couples and families, and have completed the externship and core skills in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is known as the most effective relationship theory in the world, and have personally trained with founder, Susan Johnson.
