I offer relationship counseling and educational services that help you shift your old patterns and step into the life and the relationships you are designed to live!
My extensive professional training and experience, combined with my own successful transformation of negative conditioning and patterns, allow me to help you get to the root of your struggles and turn them into pathways towards an ever more fulfilling life.
If you are ready to explore new ways of thinking and acting that can help you move forward to express yourself more authentically and improve your relationships with others, I can help.
My global view encourages and supports you to become the person you long to be and to build relationships—intimate, family, work, social, etc.—that are mutually supportive.
I offer individual and group sessions, as well as consultations, for couples, families and business partnerships and teams.
Where appropriate, I am also willing to do phone/Skype consultations. I also offer workshops, seminars and retreats on specific topics and themes.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. In the helping professions, there are two basic ways people work with clients.
One is based on an idea that the professional is offering guidance as someone speaking from "above", that they are the expert and the client/patient is receiving - and hopefully following! - their expert advice.
The other is based on the idea that the professional and the client are working together, that they enrich and teach each other. This does not mean that the professional should excessively discuss their own life or not have "good" boundaries, but it does mean expressing an "egalitarian" approach, based on empathy and commonality.
Both approaches are valid, but it is important to be clear on what approach you feel most comfortable with when choosing a helping professional. Getting such clarity can assist you in finding the right "fit" and thus assure you get the most out of any kind of treatment.
For example, if you are wanting to feel connected to your practitioner, it might be disappointing for you if you find someone who instead offers a more detached approach.
On the other hand, you may prefer exactly such a detached approach, and therefore it is important to honor that!
There is no "right" or "wrong", what is important is understanding what is best for you. The success of any kind of treatment is often directly related to how much you trust your practitioner, so it's important to honor that!
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. In the helping professions, there are two basic ways of looking at working with clients. One is based on an idea that the professional is offering guidance as someone speaking from "above", that they are the expert and the client/patient is simply receiving their expert advice. The other is based on the idea that the professional and the client are working together, that they enrich and teach each other. This does not mean that the professional should excessively discuss their own life or not have "good" boundaries, but it does mean expressing an "egalitarian" approach, based on empathy and commonality.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. What are your values as a professional?
What goals will we be working towards together?
What are your expectations of our work together?
How do you consider your clients?
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. There is nothing as fascinating and exciting to me as watching and guiding people as they become more connected with themselves and with others. It is a great honor to participate in other people's growth ... and I grow from it as well!
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. I continually devote quite a bit of energy, time and money to continue growing as a person and as a counselor. I not only take classes on pertinent subjects, but I invest in regular individual supervision to keep me on track!
Q. What is your greatest strength?
A. I have a very keen intuition along with a lot of experience listening deeply to people. This helps me get to the bottom of people's "issues" rather quickly and also helps me share my insights with them in ways that are respectful of who they are.
