Areas of Expertise
Clinical Psychology
A broad understanding of psychological theories and clinical knowledge helps me to see the issues that you face today with competency. We can address the presenting challenges in the context of psychological dynamics. Experiences or adverse life events might have contributed to your current difficulties, patterns of behavior, failed self-regulation or overall negative self-evaluations stemming from acquired beliefs and schemas about yourself and the relational world.
“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on.
- Carl Rogers
Spiritual Psychology
Contextualizes the process into the philosophical perspective that sets the most significant tone for our shared journey. We expand into a view that goes beyond physical world reality. We put your journey into a soul-centered context. We meet all of the issues that arise as opportunities for growth, as rungs on the ladder of personal evolution - the purpose of life beyond self-actualization. Unresolved material surfacing is not a bad thing. Rather, it is for our highest good, part of our individual "curriculum," to become whole, to discover our potential, our loving essence, the 'Authentic Self.' Encounters in physical world reality have relevance in regards to the meaning we derive from them - mostly about ourselves and our worth. We see outer experience as being reflective of an inner state.
Together, we work to create awareness. We utilize your inherent qualities, such as the strength of your heart, your insights, and your ability to apply compassion and forgiveness to yourself and others, to facilitate the healing process.
The most important peace comes from within the Soul when a person realizes their relationship and oneness with the universe and discovers that the Great Spirit is at the center of the universe. This spirit is within each of us.
– Black Elk
Life Coaching
Supports you in making a desired transformation happen. It is based on the interactive connection between mind, body and spirit. In partnership, we work in a systematic way towards your next goal.
Life coaching is about staying structured and steady on the path to a vision or a goal. A coach keeps you motivated, practical, and solution-focused and teaches accountability as a way to pursue tangible results.
To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try."
— Rosa Parks
