I am profoundly impacted and awed every single time I step into ‘The Knowing Field.’ I always learn something new; I always walk away just a bit more connected to myself, the Earth and my Universe. I love this work and I love the opportunity to be in it, whether as a facilitator, a client or a student.
I am an intuitive healer and energy worker practicing in Sumner, Washington for the last 14 years. I facilitate both Family Constellations and Organizational (business) Constellations in evening and weekend workshops, with a particular mindfulness toward opening to creativity and healing shock and trauma issues. I also practice a unique form of weekly group therapy that works hand in hand with Constellations and which shares many of Constellations’ (and Bert Hellinger’s) roots—including Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Family and Generational Systems Theory, Tribal practices and theological/spiritual history. My work tends gently to the deep needs of the soul and addresses the most basic (and therefore powerful) ego and generational scripts so that my clients can rediscover their true voice, reconnect with their true selves and remember their callings. When the soul is tended to in this nurturing way humans become grounded in the true freedom to seek and find their best and highest spiritual selves. My Calling is to help you remember your Calling. I am very eclectic in my approach and use threads from astrology, shamanism, mysticism and energy dynamics to bring the greatest possible healing and resolution to every Constellation and every client. I am committed to my life, to my work, to my higher calling and to my clients.
Status:
Primary Training:
I was a member of Brigitte Sztab’s Learning/Training Circle in 2007/08. I have immensely enjoyed weekend trainings with Victoria Schnabel (Sneh) and Francesca Mason Boring. I thirst for learning and new ways to benefit my own journey and that of each of my clients, so I continue to work with various facilitators, trainers and educators in order to gain as many perspectives and ‘new eyes’ on this powerful and simple work as possible.
Additional relevant education, training, seminars, etc:
I have a Masters Degree from Bastyr University based in Family and Organizational Systems and have worked most happily for the last 18 years in a very unique style of psychotherapy and Spiritual healing. I have been trained in Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, and Theology, so the discovery three years ago of Bert Hellinger’s theories and practices in Family Constellations was a very easy fit. While I always seek to improve my skill and my learning, facilitating Constellations and groups is like coming home for me, natural and easy. I have done intensive training in the areas of pre- and peri-natal psychology, particularly as it relates to adult life patterns. I have specialized in women’s issues (though I’ve been surprised by the beautiful processes that have come up for me in supporting my male clients in the last five years). My most profound work and learning are always in the areas of family dynamics and lifelong sexuality health.
Other Services Offered:
I work well with individuals, couples, families and some children. I have a not-so-secret belief that every human should be assigned a good counselor at birth and accordingly, I work long-term with my Group Therapy clients. I consider the counseling relationship a relationship and use many non-traditional and intuitive techniques. In addition to Constellation workshops I facilitate workshops on Financial Health, The Good Body, Dream Interpretation, Non-Violent Communication and Sacred Sexuality.
Locations
The comfortable and inviting offices of Lion’s Gate Counseling Services, where I have practiced for the last five years, are in Sumner, Washington. I also do workshops in Tacoma and Seattle and am in the planning stages for workshops in Salem, OR and Sedona, AZ.
Miscellanea
Whenever I get to an ‘additional information?’ box on a profile, I laugh. I seem to always include all my minutiae and miscellanea in whatever questions I’m asked.
