I believe that in life we all experience pain emotionally and physically. Healing is a skill I help you develop and with practice you will:
- Find relief from your pain.
- Learn new life skills.
- Exerience successful coping in daily life.
- Appreciate and enjoy your life.
I have worked with a large range of life circumstances including: anxiety, depression, medical illnesses, cancer, transplants, grief, and death.
In these painful experiences we are all faced with healing that pain. Healing is something which we must learn. Through my academic studies, professional work and personal life experiences, I have come to believe that healing can be learned. My focus in counseling adolescents, individuals, couples and/or families is as a guide for people as they are healing through life.
When acquiring any new skill, it is beneficial to have a guide, someone who has walked a similar path. I have learned a great deal about healing from the many people I have had the opportunity to work with and from my own life. The most profound personal healing knowledge came to me as I was healing from my stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis more than 20 years ago (also see the Oncology page and Brenda's Story).
If you are experiencing emotional or physical pain, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you as you walk your healing path.
