I believe that life is a continuum of creative encounters. In every moment we are presented with the choice to turn inward and find an answer that is authentic to this moment. When we let our heart guide us, a sense of peace emerges even during difficult times.
Rollo May, a philosopher who wrote The Courage to Create, described the creative encounter as the moments in which an artist's vision is shaped by their relationship with the world. Human relationships, too, may be approached as creative encounters when we relinquish preconceived ideas and expectations - when we respond to the essence of one another, co-creating a unique work of art called Life. My whole-person approach to holistic psychotherapy considers the individual in the context of their innate character and calling, family history, and current lived experiences. In my work with individuals, couples, and families, the process of healing adversity and trauma uncovers strengths and joys. I utilize mental imagery, dream reading, and creative expression as the basis for a dialogue that leads to clarity and new choices, toward personal and relational transformation. |
