During the intake & assessment session, clients tell me about their families, relationships, and issues. Then I explain techniques, policies, procedures and clients' bill of rights. Clients set goals for our work. Subsequent sessions are tailored to each client's needs.
 
Counseling
 
Clients verbally share as much of their experiences as they feel comfortable. I give emotional support and feedback for feelings and attempts to survive, grow and heal. We look for solutions, and I suggest resources.
 
Boundary Development
 
With listening, words, non-sexual touch, and movement, I help clients safely, slowly, gently, and carefully explore old boundaries, then develop and practice using new ones.
 
Emotional Healing & Self-Nurture
 
Clients explore their own lives; uncover hurtful experiences, messages, behaviors and find new ones; and learn how to nurture themselves.
 
Reiki Energy Work
 
Stimulates clients' own healing energies to: release tension and anxiety; express and release stored-up feelings, thoughts, and memories; encourage rhythmical breathing and deep relaxation; develop a sense of well-being. Reiki is easily learned.
 
Imagery, Visualization, Trance
 
I help clients to see themselves healing, reintegrating, becoming whole. As clients remember and release the pain of old traumas, I rebalance their energy to prevent re-wounding.
 
Touch & Movement
 
I use nurturing non-sexual touch to help clients reclaim their bodies and become proud to live in them. I teach them how to move and change at a deep, inner level. Breathing and relaxation techniques help relieve stress and reduce anxiety. Recovery time from illness or injury is often speeded up.
 
Integration from Dissociation
 
Clients learn how to relax, rest, remain in control, and stay in their bodies.
