I provide a safe, supportive environment that helps clients connect to and feel their feelings. Sadness, anger, fear, and joy are all okay. The roots of how and what we feel lie in what we experience very early in life, pre and perinatally. I work with clients experientially so that they can get back in touch with their heart/essence/goodness. I work with clients who have lost touch with those things. I work with clients who may have trouble grieving or expressing anger in healthy ways. Clients' answers are inside themselves. When they feel safe enough, they can begin to reconnect to themselves and find their answers.
I was a facilitator for the STAR Foundation for roughly 20 years. I was the STAR Clinical Director for 6 years. I trained with Dr Arthur Janov and was a Primal Therapist for 4 years. My specialty is helping clients heal by helping them reconnect to their feelings and reconnect to who they really are, beneath and before fear took over (in one form or other).
Speaking personally, one of my biggest healings was learning how to cry again. That's what took courage. It still does. The client needs to be and feel emotionally safe in order to do deep healing work. Please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you may have.
