Holistic Life Coaching

As Holistic Life Coach I work with people to help them identify their goals and the obstacles they are facing. I find that most people have a sense of what they want but are either blocked by uncertainty or fear. I do not tell people what to do, as I know that that everyone has all the answers they need within them. My job, as their life coach, is to facilitate the discovery of those answers by asking the right questions. I also provide support and encouragement, and, place a great deal of emphasis on accountability, enabling people to do more than they might on their own to move forward with their goals.

Psychotherapy

As a psychotherapist I use a holistic approach, meaning that I work with the individual from mind-body-spirit perspective. Within the safe, open, non-judgemental space I create people can freely and honestly explore the issues that brings them to therapy. I use a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities, including EMDR, to reduce symptoms, improve coping skills, change old, deep-seated patterns and feel better. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy that helps people to heal trauma or other distressing events that can block their progress in life.

EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization, Reprocessing), is a type of psychotherapy that was originally used for the treatment of trauma but in the past thirty years has evolved into a more comprehensive psychotherapy model used for the treatment of a variety of issues.  It is based on the idea that “most mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. are as a result of unprocessed earlier disturbing events or experiences”.  These events or experiences are stored in a specific way in the memory networks which when triggered by current situations causes the individual to feel as if the past is the present.  When these experiences or events are processed with EMDR the experiences/ events gets integrated into the individual’s general adaptive experiences and this allows for transformation and resolution, leading to symptom reduction. 

Yes, I provide both holistic life coaching and psychotherapy services online via a HIPPA compliant video-conferencing platform.   Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic I have been working with clients via the video-conferencing platform, and while it is different from in-person meetings, my clients have been reporting that the work remains extremely effective.  I am learning daily with my clients that connection and healing occurs regardless of whether the meetings are held in-person or online.  I think it has to do with the coach’s/therapist’s/client’s willingness to trust the process and the coach’s/therapist’s ability to create a safe, open, non-judgemental space for the healing and the transformation to occur.
