Hello and welcome to Two Rivers. I love helping people develop healthy relationships with themselves and others. Healing is made possible through love and connection - with ourselves and others in our lives. I love helping people expand their capacity to heal and find wholeness, so they can tap into their own guidance and find their own way through life that fits them.
Whether I am counseling or coaching, my practice is heart centered, meaning I care deeply about you and the journey you are on. “When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of of the heart.” ― Pema Chödrön “From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself.” ― Rachel Naomi Remen |
Education and Training
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples
I began training in EFT because it can help couples deeply bond with one another. I love couples therapy. In the process of helping the couple work through what gets in the way of trust and bonding, each partner also gets to know and heal parts of their own selves as well. Through coming to know their own blocks, fears, and ways they shut down, couples can learn to identify what they are really longing for and needing and what is getting in the way of giving it, receiving it, and asking for it.
Coaching with Positive Psychology
I chose Mentor Coach for my coach training because they specialize in evidenced-based practices and applied positive psychology. Positive psychology is the scientific study of how we thrive: what contributes to health, well-being and happiness. It focuses and builds on core strengths and positive experiences so we can intentionally build happier and more meaningful lives.
