Before anyone begins therapy they have a right and obligation to find out what and how their therapist thinks...
Where I find the greatest satisfaction in working with families, couples and individuals is helping them to communicate and find love and self respect against the backdrop of their own personal histories and how they were parented. This in turn leads to better parenting, stronger relationships and fuller richer lives lived through love. What I have found over the years is that the most difficult pain people experience often occurs very early in life, before words. Throughout my career, I began to search for ways to make these early memories accessible. As those I worked with did begin to heal I began to ask the question, "Why are we not aware of the damage we are doing to children from their conception into their first years." So much of this pain inflicted could be changed by education alone. The problem seemed to be that our culture did not believe that children could be influenced psychologically this early in life. And so my passion for preventative psychology began. Through the creation of my counseling center and lectures and eventually my book, Earthbabies, I have looked for ways to offer a helping hand to new parents and their children. There is an international organization that supports this philosophy, the Association of Pre and Peri-natal Psychology and Health. You can contact them at www.birthpsychology.com or e-mail them at apppah@aol.com.
Along with marriage, family,
and relationship counseling, I have experience in working with adults who
have suffered early childhood trauma. In the last few years, I have begun to bring together my love of horses with healing. I have found that they have an amazing ability to touch the human heart. If you are interested in learning more about this, follow this link to my "Horses" page. |
