About My Clients
Good grief Kay, I needed this! That's what people often say as we are working on gaining the clarity, confidence, and control to begin again after loss. You may have experienced a loss of a person, moving from one phase of life to another and unmet expectations from people you love. You may even feel lost in what to do next and how to get back on track! You are always there for everyone else, let me be there for you.
My Background and Approach
I received my clinical training from Capella University and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. The most important takeaway from my formal education was the realization that building a trusting and genuine relationship with my clients and meeting them where they are is the best foundation for accelerating the healing process. I utilize integrative techniques and a powerful intervention called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which achieves mental wellness by teaching you how to understand the different parts of you and trust your inner self. I will teach you how to identify thoughts and behaviors and view them as “parts or roles” within yourself that are preventing you from achieving desired life outcomes. You will learn how to relate to each part of you in a new and healthy way! You will understand how to shift and develop into more positive parts to achieve desired life outcomes.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Passing on gifts and blessings…Throughout my life, I have learned many lessons and have been extremely blessed by being given much. And I believe in living by Dr. Maya Angelou’s words: “When you get, give and when you learn, teach." It is now my turn to give back to my clients and to teach them about their authentic self and how to achieve their healing. A little more about me…On a sunny Florida day, you will find me happily on the beach amongst my favorite people like my friends and 2 young children.... Or I will be diligently working on writing my books or producing my podcast, “The Authentic Therapist,” both of which will be completed 2021. I understand firsthand what it feels like to have lost….and not know how to move forward. It can be lonely, scary, and overwhelming. But I am here to help! Let’s journey through what life can look like after loss.
