You are still. Then you roil, boil and thrash. You flow. You freeze. Life’s externals—what we call “reality”—yank our attention this way and that. Emotional whiplash. Those externals (oh yes, and they can come from inside our own minds too) feel so “real”; so front and center; so provocative. War, cancer, assault, a stubbed toe,… Continue reading…
Of course there’s nothing new about insecurity. It’s been around for as long as we’ve been human. We all know what it feels like to deal with insecurity. I dare say that none of us has reached adulthood without our fair share of visits to the Land of Insecurity. We’re no strangers to it, but… Continue reading…
There’s more than a lot going on in our personal world and our global one and it’s beyond super easy to get caught up in the undertow of all of it and start spazzing out. I don’t know about you, but when I go into that spaz out mode it looks quite a bit like… Continue reading…
Coronavirus is real. It’s scary. It’s causing a lot of chaos and panic around the world and some real heartache to the families and friends of those who are watching loved ones get sick and in some cases, die. I’m not writing about the physical realities of the coronavirus or the precautionary steps we should… Continue reading…
Happy November! Yes, it’s here. Already. The end of the year fast approaching. For most of us, the next few weeks mean spending time with friends and family. Well-meaning, demanding, loving, judgmental, funny, selfish, caring friends and family. Yippee! I’m just joking. But only a little bit. The truth is that most of us are… Continue reading…
In my last blog, I told you that we’d spend some time together to get you into the groove of making your dreams come true with the “Live Your Dream” five-step recipe. The recipe’s as easy as a store-bought pie. (Couldn’t resist putting in a little Southern saying for y’all down south ;)). The hard… Continue reading…
So, if I told you that you needed to take some time to relax, you’d probably just look at me with a sarcastic smirk on your face and say something like, “Sure, I’ll get right on that. I don’t have anything else to do right at the moment.” (And you might even bob your head… Continue reading…
What’s your spin on life today? Specifically, your life. It’s your call. Really, seriously it is. Attitude is everything. I know, you’ve heard that one a gazillion times if you’ve heard it once. In fact, it’s one of those things that’s said so often that at some point it just plain old stops meaning anything…. Continue reading…
I’ve got to have it. I need it. No, rewrite that. I neeeeeeeeed it. You know, that clingy gooey energy that slithers into your belly. It’ll go AWOL every now and then—sometimes even for a long time—and then bam! Here’s Johnny! It’s back again in all it’s splendor. Your very own personal resident Gollum. And… Continue reading…
I spent the first 20+ years of my life knowing to the core of my being that there was something fundamentally wrong with me. I knew that if people really knew me, they most certainly would/could never really love me. And chances are, if you’re a sensitive, heart-full, emotional “fairy dust and pixie” kind of… Continue reading…
I DO THINGS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
I’m not “just” a therapist who focuses on the impact your past has on your present, or “just” a coach who focuses on your present and future.
My holistic approach weaves coaching, therapy and positive psychology (the science of happiness) together for maximum impact, so you can start feeling real happiness now, even as you’re clearing out the negative issues and traumas that hold you back.
Whether you need a sounding board or an impartial view, help breaking out of entrenched habits that aren’t serving you anymore, or even deep healing around childhood trauma or some other spiritual, psychological and/or emotional wounding, you’re in the right place.
