"We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies." -Shirley Abbott
My work is grounded in the belief that we have within us all the resources needed to take us from cradle to grave. Sometimes we become stuck and cannot move forward until someone shines a light on our path.
To accomplish this I use a family-systems based approach. Recognizing and understanding roles passed on to us by ancestors can allow us to cull out that which is not working for us in our current reality. I also employ the use of self in the therapeutic relationship so my clients may develop their own clarity and understanding of the hidden undercurrents that may have taken their footing away.
Development of this awareness affords them the opportunity to make informed choices that can create positive change in their lives and in the lives of their loved ones.
