Life happens...

...and not always as we hope or plan.  What do you do when life doesn't show up in a nice, neat, little package?

Life challenges can include:

• Stress Management
• Stage of Life Transitions
• Grief and Loss
• Interpersonal Communication
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Trauma/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

...or perhaps it's just a general sense of "un-ease" that is difficult to understand or explain.  Everything thing looks ok on the outside, but you just don't feel right on the inside.

A Holistic Approach to Healing...

...is inclusive of the "whole person", taking into consideration the intrinsic connection between your body, your mind, and your spirit.

• We look at habitual thought patterns to create new pathways for healing and growth.
• We use mindfulness based practices, inviting the wisdom of the body to provide insight and guidance.
• We cultivate a relationship with our "intuitive nature" to help restore a sense of greater self-trust.

Body-Centered Expressive Therapy...

...is an integrative approach that is rooted in somatic psychology, movement therapy, and the expressive arts.  BCET is used to help clients explore feelings, beliefs, and memories that are contained or held in the body.

As we come into a deeper relationship with our body's experience, we often experience a fuller sense of aliveness and increased access to inner wisdom.

How can this process help?

In an atmosphere of trust, caring, and deep respect for the experience of being human, the potential exists to:

• Build and expand upon your current strengths.

• Increase your sense of aliveness and self confidence.

• Have greater access to your internal and external resources.

• Create a greater sense of purpose and vision for your life.

• Restore balance and ease in your daily life, regardless of external circumstances.

• Trust your ability to competantly navigate life's twists and turns on an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level.
