TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPIES
"Keep on knocking 'till the joy inside opens a window. Look to see who's there"
• Rumi
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Welcome to my site. You may have found me because you were searching for someone skilled in compassionate and attuned listening to help you skillfully navigate current challenges and transitions.
If you are feeling hopeless in this very moment, take comfort in remembering - nothing stays the same and everyone can heal and change their lives for the better. Yet, sometimes we need guidance and tools so that we can gain clarity, get unstuck, find relief, change our circumstances or transform our view of what is happening; all with the goal of experiencing a deeper, more abiding wellbeing, hope and peace.
I am passionate about offering people practical and cutting edge practices and skills to help them move out of feeling stuck and into confident and creative flow where they can actualize positive, life-enhancing and enduring change in their lives.
As a therapist, I am honored to hear your unique story, to walk with you for a while and to help you find the answers I absolutely know you have within you. Send me an email and we can get started co-creating the life you long to live. • I work with adults, couples, families and adolescents. I also teach self-care practices to healthcare professionals in group, workshops and one-on-one formats.
THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES
INTEGRATIVE & TRANSFORMATIONAL
It’s essential to find a therapist you are comfortable with. It's also important to find the modes of therapy that match who you are; ones which are proven to be effective for your type of situation and personality. This is why I offer a variety of therapeutic models, which can be tailored toward each persons unique journey toward happiness and integrated wellbeing.
Here are some of the ways we might work together:
Traditional Talk Therapy and Contemporary, Evidence-Based Therapies: Psycho-Dynamic Therapy • Gestalt Therapy • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills • Internal Family Systems
Alternative and Expressive Therapies: • Body Oriented Psychotherapy • Yoga Therapy • Art Therapy/ Narrative Therapy (Drawing • Journaling • Goal/Vision Boards) • Eco-therapy (connecting with nature).
These integrative therapies are pathways into healing and transformation.
MINDFULNESS, STRESS REDUCTION AND YOGA THERAPY
Mindfulness-Based Practices have entered the health care mainstream as proven ways to reduce anxiety, stress, depression, physical pain and improve the immune system.
I incorporate mindfulness into all aspects of my therapy practice because it is an essential life tool. By simply becoming still and relaxed, in a safe environment, we can observe an emotionally challenging situation with more objectivity. We are able to experience thoughts, feelings and sensations as helpful information about our needs and goals instead of problematic and scary.
As we grow in our capacity to befriend and tend our inner experiences, we are able to contact our resilient, authentic, intelligent nature. Being self-attuned, frees us from habitual fear and enables us to imagine more creative ways to respond to people and events. The miracle of mindfulness supports a profound capacity to no longer be afraid of our thoughts and feelings. We learn to honor the wisdom within.
I also integrate, when applicable, breath-work and gentle yoga postures to aid in self-attunement, riding the waves of challenging emotions and overall stress-reduction.
FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
Family Constellations is a powerful experiential model of ancestral, family and generational healing. It lends itself to exploring ancestral past and healing trauma 7 generations before and 7 generations ahead. In a non-judgmental, co-creating, sacred space, the constellation process allows participants to reconnect with loved ones and to heal parts of family, generational and cultural trauma. Through exercises and vignettes, participants will have a chance to clear emotional and energetic blockages, strengthen their capacity for intimacy, increase self-esteem and confidence, actualize their goals, and enhance personal performance.
Participants are able to make deeper and more meaningful connections with their family members, cultural groups, absent family members, co-workers and address divided loyalties. Additionally, the participants may experience a renewed sense of personal awareness, relief, and strength in their physical, emotional and spiritual life. Family Constellations allows people to reconnect with and deepen their roots into the most empowered, hopeful, integrated, attuned aspects of themselves. This healing modality addresses the dilemma (whatever is causing suffering or challenges) by providing a broader perspective, where solutions are discovered and change can occur.
