During Our Sessions, Clients Receive
Knowledge of the Nervous System
Research reveals how influential the nervous system is on our emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I teach clients how to work with their triggers to bring forward the best part of themselves.
Self Understanding
I am a good explainer, illustrating concepts from the recovery world and psychology as they apply to a person's life. What exactly is codependence? How does it show up day-to-day? How does a person's inner critic promote codependence?
Tools
Research on brain mapping demonstrates that we can change the shape of our brain by practicing new behaviors. When you have alternatives to your old ways, you have new experiences, make new brain maps — and expand your identity.
Empathy
Studies link empathy with greater connection, self-esteem and change. I am a spacious practitioner, able to bring acceptance, heart and insight to mysterious places in the human soul.
Inner-Critic Mastery
After studying how to reduce self-criticism in 1989 with Byron Brown, author of Soul Without Shame, I adapted parts of his work to fit the needs of my clients. Clients receive inner child exercises and cognitive-behavioral techniques to forge the kind of internal parent relationship they want to have.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Our metaphoric brain broadcasts the life of the soul, helping us transform. Clients may do a variety of Arts as part of our work together, from abstract drawings to quilting to tattoos. One client made a short film — it was brilliant and it starred her dog.
Attachment Expertise
I help both couples and individuals learn how their past and current attachment relationships influence their nervous system in the present, and a variety of ways to meet their attachment needs. My teachers include Sue Johnson, David Wallin, David Mars, and Diana Fosha.
Development of My Own Method
Articulating my work in the book I co-wrote, classes I taught, and in a podcast required that I get clear and strong in my understanding of each subject. I bring that level of development to each session.
Recovery from Bulimia
Through getting over bulimia, I know disordered eating inside-out. Clients hear my experience, strength and hope from having walked the recovery road before them.
