About My Website
First, and foremost, this website is meant to be a personal experience between me (your life coach and facilitator) and you (the client, reader). But don't be surprised by my personal posts: favorite books, scrumptious recipes I enjoy, some of my inspirational poetry, original artwork, and so on. This really is sort of a lifestyle blog geared to inspire better living. There will be many informative articles, but probably just as many posts about myself and my life!
I am a professional, highly-educated psychologist. I'm a life coach. I am a poet, an artist, a dreamer and a believer. Most importantly I believe in you...and I believe in magic! I also believe it is our innate, birth-given responsibility to put our voices out into the universe and to make our own lives amazing! Most importantly, I offer you my guidance and my knowledge via this blog...and all for free. Every single article, as well as all my 30 day challenges, are offered to you absolutely free of charge. I will oftentimes also provide free printables and other fun graphics for your personal use. All of my free materials are created exclusively by me and are geared toward helping you explore yourself, express yourself, and cultivate your best self! All printables are for your personal use only please.
And unless you have not noticed already, I am an artist. I work primarily in digital art (photo manipulation & collage with digital over-painting, art journal pages, scrapbook pages and I recently have learned to incorporate components of AI art images into my original compositions). Because creative expression has served as a mainstay in my life (and sanity) I love sharing this vocation with others. I create a variety of clipart, printable pages for collage art, and art journal kits. Currently I offer these these as freebies exclusively here on this website. Art journaling opens the door to a vast exploration (and expression) of your own psyche and the 'self' from it's core. I hope to inspire you to begin your own creative journey with me. Currently my printables and image are free. At some later date in the future I may begin to sell them. But right now I enjoy sharing them as freebies!
As for my therapeutic services, you only ever purchase coaching sessions and my workbooks and /or workshops for extensive self-work at your own discretion. I guarantee no instant, miraculous change as change occurs progressively and is directly correlated to the work you are willing to put into bettering your own life. What I do guarantee is invaluable information, exercises, and exploration of the self at the deepest level. Only when you understand yourself and what you truly need and want from this life, will you ever truly thrive. It is my hope to help direct you on your truest, most sincere life path. A path of personal abundance and happiness.
Currently, I only take new clients via solicitation. If you are interested in affordable 1-1 Life Coaching with a trained, educated facilitator, please see my full coaching package HERE. You can contact me with the form in the drop-down menu on the left. Seats are limited so if you are interested, contact me ASAP. I look forward to assisting you!
So how did this all begin? Well, at some point during my post graduate classes, it dawned on me that creative writing, journal writing, art journaling and poetry...all these things are elemental to the healing process. And how did I know this? As a woman who had recovered from an eating disorder and depression, I knew these things worked for me. Poetry, writing, journal writing, expressive art journal pages...they had all offered me the time and space to explore myself, my pain, and eventually aided me in healing my inner self and progressing toward a healthier lifestyle. And I knew that's what I wanted to do for other individuals...inspire, motivate, encourage personal growth and self development by way of creative writing, journal writing, educational information pertinent to better living in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
I firmly believe that creativity and play are two major cornerstones to our ability to self actualize. Creativity provides a portal for self exploration. That is why I love to incorporate the fluidity of creative exercises and challenges aimed to help you gain a greater understanding of yourself, and yourself in relation to the world, or your reality, as it exists.
Thus, my framework oftentimes will be a collaboration between concrete psycho analytics (tried and true methodology) and creative exercises (for playful exploration as play opens a portal to the most inner self).
My website differs from other self-help blogs because:
1) I have formal education in psychology and professional helping. I am a professional counselor. I know how to help you. And rather than just tell you what to do, I allow you the room to realize what you need to do for yourself to live a happier, healthier life.
2) When I write a self-help article or an article with advice, a majority of my information has come from my educational studies. Much of my advice will also come from personal experience...I speak of what has worked for me, personally.
3) Much of my information has come from tried-and-true methods which have demonstrated personal success and fulfillment time and time again.
My Educational Acheivements Include:
Post-Graduate Certification in Professional Counseling
Post-Graduate Certification in Addiction Counseling
Masters Graduate Degree in Mental Health Counseling
Bachelors of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling
Associates of Applied Science with Emphasis in Human Services
I graduated at the top of my class at one of the most highly, nationally-acclaimed (and accredited) Mental Health Programs in the United States of America (Lindsey Wilson College).
I have read and extensively studied positive psychology, mental health counseling, general psychology and research methodology in psychological assessment and intervention. I also have undergone three 6-month practicums / internships, concluding in several years worth of experience in case management as well as guidance counseling.
My Method of Self-Help and Guidance includes a Self-Directed framework with a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused approach.
You can learn more about how to be your most outstanding self and live your best life with my science and information based articles and advice learned via my extensive studies. My in-depth, psychologically-based articles and life advice were designed around a framework that ultimately ensures that you learn about yourself, how to love yourself, what you want in life, and (most importantly) how to go out there and create the life you wish to live.
I am delighted to make your acquaintance. Please enjoy this website. If I can aid you in being your highest self, in any way, please do not hesitate to send me a correspondence via the contact sheet on the left-hand side.
