Individual therapy

In individual therapy I help you identify your goals and develop the skills you need to grow into your very best self. I help you understand your self limiting behaviors so you can choose the path best for you. It is for you to decide the direction the therapy will take and the goals you aim to reach. After your goals are defined, however, my job is to support, nurture, challenge, and educate you so that you can achieve those goals.

My goal is to not focus only on your success in completing a particular task, but rather how you can get back on track after a set-back. Often it is only through initial failures that deep learning becomes part of your new self.

Ritual, spirituality and celebrations

Ritual is a powerful tool for positive change. When we strive for an overall sense of well being and wholeness, we want to integrate our spiritual and physical self. This total self consist of rational and hidden components. In ritual we access the complete realm of self. The human psyche is profoundly affected by ritual, as it is an ancient and universal discipline.

Most of us are familiar with rituals such as lighting a Christmas tree or other cultural celebrations. Throughout the lifecycle we connect to our communities in ritualizing a birth, graduation, marriage, or mourn the death of a loved one.

Symbolism is the secret language of ritual. It is a language defined by a certain set of behaviors that connect us directly to the subconscious. Components include personalized imagery, sometimes community participation and spiritual connection. Through careful questioning I assist you with designing your own personal ritual. Visualizing your desired outcome connects your spiritual being with all of your resources to bring about positive change. You may find that this process heals on deeper levels of consciousness and leads to an enriched and holistic life experience and healthy future.
