Holistic Counselor, Life Coach, Communication Specialist and Advice Columnist
LOVE YOUR LIFE EVERYDAY
Help has never been so efficient & convenient.
Because the majority of my sessions are held over the phone, you will save an abundance of time and money. In addition, you will have more privacy and anonymity than sitting in a waiting room at a local office.
You have help right at your fingertips!
We will work together to have a co-active partnership, and with the right questions and some guidance, you can be where you want to be -
sooner than you think.
Most people don't need years of counseling, sometimes a simple shift in perception is all it takes to see things in a new light.
As a Holistic Counselor and Life Coach, I practice a unique combination of Gestalt Therapy and Co-active Coaching. All people have the potential to be naturally creative, resourceful and whole and I believe we hold all our answers within us.
I excel in all areas of communication, talk therapy and interpersonal relationships. These skills are instrumental in optimizing personal and non-personal development and interaction. Coaches and Holistic Counselors encourage self-discovery, accountability and responsibility through client-generated solutions and strategies, all done with the intention of greatly improving people’s lives.
Over the last 20 years I have been involved in all areas of individual, crisis, couples, family and group counseling/coaching. I have also facilitated workshops and seminars focusing on communication, self-esteem and having an abundant life.
Take hold of your future and start living the life you want to live...NOW.
COMMUNICATION 101
Communication is the most important tool you will ever have.
Positive communication with our selves and others sets the foundation for all other things. You set your tone. It is possible to manage many thoughts and actions through mindfulness. What you need is a skill set that you can use in your life, for life. Mindfulness will help you become a more effective communicator and well-balanced individual. Seize this opportunity to begin to manage negative thoughts and behaviors now.
It is all about how you choose to live.
Choice (or the lack thereof) and creation happen naturally. Good, bad or otherwise your choices will manifest. You have the freedom to choose what you want to create in your life. Decide what you want and who you really want to be. For a moment, imagine your life as a great production. What do you want to see on the screen? What part do you want to play? There is only one you in the world. Be the best and happiest YOU that you can be.
We are only as effective as we are living effectively in the world.
Imagine a spinning top for a moment. When in balance, it spins so effortlessly it appears to be a stationary object. However, the slightest force can cause imbalance, making an awkward warble, which results in spinning out of control and a fall. Our lives, in a sense, are no different. It is the Body/Mind/Spirit connection that needs balance. Communication is the most effective tool to achieve balance with our selves and the world around us. It is the difference between surviving and thriving.
Choose a life and live your way into it!
We can think ourselves into acting differently and we can act ourselves into thinking differently. Set your mind like a DVR. You get to choose the thoughts you play. Whatever is playing in the mind, will reflect in your family, body, relationships and the outside world. Not only do you set your own tone, you also set the tone of your home. AGAIN, all communication begins with communication with yourself! One-way to begin: start each day with an attitude of gratitude. Name as many people, feelings or experiences that you are thankful for, as soon as you wake up.
Gratitude helps to set a positive energy, tone and attitude for your day.
Communication Tips
Having a serious conversation isn’t always easy. If you have to have any kind of discussion here are the “GOLDEN RULES” of healthy conversation.
Try to understand any conflict in objective terms; doing so helps you to see facts rather than opinion.
Ask some questions: Who is it affecting? Who is this damaging? Is this disrupting my family or my life?
Most of the time we fight about the “fluff”. Be sure to focus on the real issues and leave drama and unnecessary thoughts, insults, comments and/or opinions OUT OF THE CONVERSATION.
Try to break down any issue to its most simple elements and start there. When discussing any topic, whether it's a family member, best friend, co-worker or a stranger, some basic rules apply.
