Theraputic Counseling

I returned to graduate school in 2006 to begin a masters study in the field of counseling. I did this becasue I realized the majority of the body issues my massage and Reiki clients experienced were caused by their mind. I became fascinated with how our thought process affects us, not only emotionally, but also physically. There is a direct coloration between mental dysfunction and physical dysfunction. Our body and our mind are not separate; they affect each other positively and negatively. If our mind is in not in a peaceful state, our body will suffer. Likewise, if our body is unhealthy, our mind will suffer. During my years as a body worker I noticed my clients would return with the same issues time and time again. After getting to know them, I realized they were suffering from anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief, anger, and worry, all of which were all having an adverse effect on their physical well being. So, I went back to school in an effort to learn how to help my clients regain control of their mind so their body could begin the process of healing itself.

Since 2007 I have spent a great deal of my life counseling children, adolescents, adults, groups, couples, and families who were all suffering from a wide variety of issues ranging from physical and mental abuse, drug addiction, sexual identity confusion, sexual dysfunction, depression and an number of other problems that inhibit us from moving forward in their lives. During these years I found that, by using a mixture of cognitive therapy, and my own transitional timeline therapy that I had been developing since 2005, I was able to help many my clients overcome their mental unrest. They became less anxious and depressed, which allowed them to break free from their mind and see life from a completely different perspective. Coaching couples so that they may understand the causes of miscommunication, and how to better communicate with each other, helped many of them not only restore their connection, but also make it stronger.  

After spending the past year and a half doing couples and family therapy as well as individual therapy, I will be combining my bodywork and counseling services with a group called “NOYAU". The NOYAU website gives a great deal of information on what we offe
