As a
Psychotherapist, Minister,
and Life Coach, it is my greatest desire and intention to be
a catalyst and a simulater to people's search for meaning and
their quest for peace within. I have tremendous belief
in the power and resources of the human spirit and I trust each
individual's ability to conquer issues which hold them back from
becoming all they can be. My intention is always to create
a safe and respectful space for exploration and healing on all
levels or our humanness. It has been said about me that I come
from the heart and shoot from the hip. |
Body Centered Psychotherapy
I spent sixteen years as a Psychotherapist in private practice, continuing
my education and training along the way. I had this knowing that
something vital was missing in my efforts to help heal and integrate
the human system. Then I stumbled upon Core Energetics - I
knew I'd found the missing piece. Core Energetics does not
separate and specialize in only one level of the human system,
but rather takes into account and works to unify all levels of
the human system. There are five distinct yet connected levels of
consciousness - the body, the emotions, the mind, the will,
and the spirit.
Drawing from Reichian concepts, Bioenergetics
(founded by John Pierrakos, MD and Alexander Lowen, MD),
insights from modern physics, and other physical, mental, and
spiritual teachings, Core Energetics moves beyond traditional
psychotherapies and works to remove energy blocks which inhibit
our true and complete evolution as individuals. I have completed
an intensive four-year training in Core Energetics.
Could You Benefit From
The Following?
- A better grasp of your feelings and how they operate in your
life.
- Deal and cope with uncomfortable and unwanted emotions.
- Integrate your energy patterns on physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual levels of your being.
- A deeper understanding of, and tools for balancing your masculine/feminine,
right/left brain, and identifying and honoring the opposite forces
within.
- Unblock old holding patterns in your system - enabling a
more congruent energy flow and allowing your most authentic self
to evolve and emerge.
- Increase personal awareness and deepen your sense of self.
- Ways and means for better, cleaner, clearer relationship
with yourself and others.
- Techniques for effectively resolving conflict and moving
through power struggles.
- Learn to understand and deal with depression, loss, grief
and fear.
- Come to terms with what holds you up from being your best
self - past parental messages, belief systems that may be antiquated,
old habitual behavior patterns, and fear-based beliefs.
- A new sense of inner peace and direction.
- Moving to "what's next" and becoming a more authentic
you.
- Clearing regrets from the past, excuses in the present, and
discomfort and uncertainty about the future.
About Myself

small businesses.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
FROM ME
As
a Therapist
Genuine caring
Coaching and guidance
Respect for your individual process and your uniqueness
Acceptance and empathy
A variety of approaches - traditional and non-traditional
Listening and honesty
Exploration and support
Attention to all levels of your being: physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual
Integration of your energy forces - how and where you direct
your energy, where it's blocked, where and how you hold it back,
how it is misdirected.
A thorough look into your defense patterns
Education about developmental stages, energetics, and whatever
is not yet known to you which can facilitate your growth and
healing
As
a Non-Denominational Minister
Weddings, baptisms, dedications, funerals - each designed specifically
according to the occasion, the personalities, preferences, and
desires of the people involved.
On a personal level, I view my ministry as an ongoing opportunity
to increase faith, trust, and love in our world, our individual
selves and in a Higher Power.
I see and feel a need to build a bridge between Psychology
and its emphasis on claiming the self, and Spirituality and its
emphasis on surrendering the self. I don't experience these two
as opposites, as they appear. In the big picture of wholeness,
both are required and can be attained.
As
a Teacher or Seminar Leader
It is always my hope that every person in any group will gain
a new piece of learning that will add to their awareness and
create a new seed for their individual growth and process, whatever
that might be.
Each class, workshop, or seminar is newly designed according
to the group needs and the subject matter to be conveyed, and
always flexible enough to accommodate what needs to happen in
the moment.
As
a Spiritual Counselor
As a Spiritual Counselor my intention is to expand ones awareness
and to broaden one's beliefs in a way that brings Spirit into
every level of one's being. It is through trust, faith, and life
process that one finds a deep relationship with oneself and with
Spirit.
Top
It
is my hope that in our relationship we will create together:
Honor, Openness, Support and Trust. I hope that you will give
me a call. I look forward to creating new life opportunities
with you!
