My counseling approach recognizes what many people already know--- there is a deep and often untapped connection between your physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual health.

The Therapist Parent ๐Ÿ’•
โ€ข

I spend most of my time as a Psychologist teaching kids about feelings. It never stops amazing me how a lot of adults struggle at doing this. Feelings are there for a reason, we need to recognise them so we can manage them

When kids are little, sticking to Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared and Worried are fine. They are the building blocks for understanding emotions. However, as children get older we need to expand their emotional vocabulary. For example, there is a difference between feeling angry and disappointed or confused and frustrated. The way would would manage anger and disappointment are probably going to be different to.

The other day, I blurted out something in a TONE I recognized all too well. โ€œOhh, thatโ€™s where she gets it from,โ€ I said - a bit surprised (but not really).

Yes, the snarky comeback I usually notice in my daughter was coming from me. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Hi, itโ€™s me. Iโ€™m the problem. Itโ€™s me.

It's not enough to say we want kids who are regulated and able to manage themselves.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We have to be the model we want them to emulate.

But remember, . We all had a good laugh, and I got to take responsibility for my actions.

Our Story

My counseling approach embodies what you may already know deep down---that there is an untapped connection between your physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual health. I used to believe that pathology and dysfunction exist because of a severed connection between mind and body. But through my work with clients, it has become apparent to me that the connection is there, it just waits for you...to become aware of it; to develop and harness itโ€™s power.

Because I believe that talking can only get us so far in the healing process, I offer Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness Coaching in addition to Individual Counseling sessions. I lead a weekly Mindfulness Meditation group at Yoga Riot in Sellwood on Thursday mornings. I see individual clients at my office in Cypress Beauty and Wellness in Sellwood.

The secret to healing is not in changing yourself. It is in discovering who you are and breathing fully into this reality with acceptance, compassionately holding all of your shadow and all of your light in your open hands.

Breathe, move, share, be still, repeat.
