I have a few mottos: 1. Life is the sum total of our choices. You want a different outlook or take on 'YOUR' life then make different choices. 2. Whatever 'YOU' think 'YOU' can or can't do-'YOU'RE' right! (H. Ford) and 3. Iron Sharpens Iron. This all totals: If you put the work into 'you' then all the things will work together. The mind is likened to any other muscle, and it must be strengthened. And like a body in good physical condition, it has the ability to last longer and be stronger. The same is true of the mind & your choices. Let's start the manifestation today.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s incredible that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational traumas” and work on their mental health so that they can pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others.

Depression, anxiety, and fear; they can be overwhelming and leave us feeling stuck! Therapy is about understanding, healing, and creating. Each one of us has a story. It’s about where we’ve been and what happened to us. It holds the reasons for our depression, anxiety, and fear. When we understand who we are, and what we need, we can learn to create the life we want. Creation comes from building on strengths and discovering new possibilities. It comes from living intentionally, and well. It brings peace, connection, and an authentic life.

Life presents each of us with our own unique experiences, and with that, our own set of issues, needs, and goals. It's important to know that we are all fallible human beings, who are not bound by our past. As such, we should not allow our past to control our future. I believe that we are capable of learning how our past experiences influence our current thoughts and behaviors, thus allowing for space to create new patterns in the process.

I firmly believe everyone does things in their own unique way and time so honing in on self-identified strengths assists me with helping clients improve upon what they may consider their "challenges". I also assist my clients with getting in tune with those hidden strengths they may be unaware of. The hardest part of therapy is getting started. Book a session and take a chance.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
