Colorado Healing Services, LLC Evening and weekend appointments available in central Denver.
PHILOSOPHY: People often feel stuck in their careers or in their lives. My approach to counseling includes using both the conscious and unconscious realms to gain insight that leads to personal growth. Talk therapy addresses the conscious realm. Other techniques such as hypnotherapy, sound healing and guided imagery tap into the unconscious realm, bringing information forth into conscious awareness and relief from the ruts in which we find ourselves. This information may then be used to start fresh in a new direction. Combining these strategies with Jin Shin Jyutsu, a Japanese healing art used to balance energy flow, assists in rapid healing and growth.
CREDENTIALS: Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Hypnotherapist (C.Ht.), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC), Jin Shin Jyutsu Practioner, Certificate in Sound Healing, Shamanic Studies
EDUCATION: M.Ed., Counseling, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA BA, Business and Psychology, Carroll College, Helena, MT Plus numerous continuing education workshops, seminars and conferences |
