HELLO AND WELCOME!

Start living the life you want to live.

 

We are so busy with our day to day it seems harder and harder to care for our own well being.  But now you can, with the ease of a phone call, start to live the life you dream of living.  No question is too big or small. 


 If you decide to work with me, I can assure you, it will be like no other  counseling session you have ever experienced.   This is a journey we take together, I'm not some drone looking at you over a desk,  listening to you talk to yourself.  I am a unique combination of a Masters Level Holistic Counselor and Life Coach with a Social Work and Crisis Intervention background. This diversity gives me the ability to work with almost any situation.   Being very intuitive with people and their specific needs helps me to guide you to a better state of well-being.   Working in the “here and now” allows us to work collectively to get solutions quickly,  without having to dwell in the past session after session.

      It could be one simple question or an important issue; no topic is too large or small.   As a Holistic Counselor I am often asked: “What is a Holistic Counselor?   ”Holism is the concept that we are larger than the sum of our parts. Besides the physical, emotional and mental elements, our Spirit is a huge part of what really allows us to heal, change and evolve.  

 I'm not referring to religious spirit; although religion is a great factor in many people lives.    The spirit I am referring to, is the essence of what makes us unique.   Your SPIRIT is your  “YOU-ness”.    We work together to jointly tailor a solution for your  unique situation.  You might only have 20 minutes in the morning before work;  that's enough time to start to make a change.   No matter what you may be dealing with, there is no limit for possibility, there's no limit to your happiness and no boundaries between where you are right now and where you want to be: Whole.

Good People Rule!

Although this is my counseling website, I am also the advice columnist (Dara D.)  for Good People Rule

Good People Rule  was created to show appreciation to all the PEOPLE who do something GOOD for another in the world.   Whether through laughter, lending, love or enlightenment, the world needs GOOD PEOPLE! 
It's easy to forget at times that we are all connected.   It is easy to go throughout our day caught up in our own thoughts and just stay focused on our own agenda; we can easily forget to look out,  beyond ourselves.


It's been proven that people who practice acts of kindness (and also the recipients of those acts) get a nice dose of serotonin (feel good chemicals) in their brain. 

When you lift up others, you will feel uplifted.  


It  takes one second to look at someone, smile and say "Hello!".  We can even go beyond that and actually spread random acts of kindness....   Imagine....  


People, nature and pets add value to our lives in so many different ways.  We can also find happiness in family, friends,  art, acquaintances or strangers.  You never know who or what can teach you a life lesson or brighten your day.  Along with people and pets, there are also places and things that can enhance our lives in positive ways. Simply taking your dog for a walk or sitting quietly on the beach are wonderful and simple opportunities to enjoy and find peace in this sometimes crazy world.


Life can be challenging at times and maintaining a positive mental attitude can help us along the way. Please feel free to check  out Good People Rule on FB ... look, read, enjoy and add to the GOOD!
