Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is holistic counseling and life coaching ?
A: Holistic counseling and life coaching sessions will have a strong emphasis on cultivating mindfulness and developing the resiliency, internal alignment and inner resources you need to stick to the changes you have been longing for. We will look at your values and see if your life is in alignment with your own true priorities and we will build your foundation of success on evidenced-based practices and enduring principles such as compassion, gratitude, authenticity and mindfulness.
Q: What kind of client do you work with?
A: My client’s are self motivated, self disciplined and create the space and time in their life to focus on healing and self transformation. My client’s understand that despite their early circumstance, all the issues currently in their lives arise from their own choices and are committed to self responsibility and growth.
Q: What can we work on together?
We can work with blocks or challenges you are experiencing in areas including, but not limited to, the following:
Achieving Goals
Addictive Habits
Career and Purpose
Concentration and Focus
Fears
Health and Wellness
Procrastination
Relationships Challenges
Resolving Trauma
Q: How does holistic counseling and life coaching work?
A: Our engagement first begins with you filling out the contact form and telling me what kind of work you are interested in doing. If I am accepting new client’s we will set up a free, 15 minute consultation or the exchange of a few emails where we will further discuss your objectives, intentions and expectations. Chemistry is hugely important in this kind of personal relationship so this time gives us both a chance to explore if and how we can work with each other. At the end of our consultation, I will give you my recommendations and suggestions for getting started so you know exactly how we are going to work together.
Q: What therapeautic techniques do you incorportate?
A: I am trained in and use various techniques to help people overcome PTSD and difficult states of anxiety, depression, addiction and attachment mal-adaptions. :
EMDR
Somatic release
Neural retraining
Mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy
Meditation
Buddhist Psychotherapy framework
Q: I don’t practice mindfulness, meditate or believe in their effectiveness can we still work together?
A: No. Self discovery, meditation and contemplation are a foundational part of my work and a vital aspect of your healing in between sessions.
Q: “I’m pretty busy and don’t have time to be introspective or do mindfulness homework with a therapist, can I still work with you?”
A: No. I work best with people who are willing and happily able to invest in their own well-being. The work requires effort on both sides, from the therapist and the client. If you are not willing or able to invest your time and energy in your own well-being, nothing I will be able to offer you will make any impact. So if you are too busy or not quite sure if you want to make a commitment now, no worries.
