Welcome 

 

I love what I do as a therapist.  I believe any person sitting across from me has more to teach me than any book I have ever read.  I believe attention-undivided and compassionate-is the purest form of love.  It's a life force that creates, heals, and grows whatever is in its path.  I've come to understand that love is really more of a verb than a noun.  It's a presence.  It's a way of being in the world.

Presence

 

The overarching goal of therapy or counseling is really about cultivating this presence for ourselves and for others.  It's about learning to stay with ourselves, our experience, and others with a nurturing presence. It's about committing to becoming the highest version of ourselves even in the face of challenge, hurt, disappointment, a broken heart, rejection or abondonment.  It's about risking to show up in new ways in order to break free from the self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, and habits that hold us back. There are many theories, practices, and techniques on how to do this. The truth is, I like them all.  And, I especially like how they are all evolving-just like us.   

 

 

 

 

Possibilities 

 

If you are here, chances are at some point or another you've made a decision to up-level your life.  You've received the call to action, and you have found the strength and the courage ("coeur"=heart "age"=story) to open up, understand, share, alter, and tell your heart story.  The first step to beginning the journey you came here to make is to recognize that you are not alone, and that we are all stronger together.  We all need assistance guidance, and nurturing to overcome the inevitable challenges we face in life.
