After the death of my mom I found myself in a very bad, incredibly dark place. In the middle of a huge depression and suffering from PTSD and ready to exit life, I was referred to Elizabeth. Her work with me surely saved my life. I didn’t have time for months of therapy or the inclination to attend aimless grief therapy groups. Elizabeth worked with me in the finest of gifting with care, strength, love and compassion. The results were immediate and they held strong. I owe her my life. ~ Dave W.
Counseling & Emotional Healing
Embodied, expressive and deeply healing personal change work.
Counseling Sessions with Elizabeth offer a unique opportunity to be in sacred space with self, spirit and the inner landscapes. Her gifts in teaching, counseling and coaching have matured and developed through her 25 years of study and practice in the healing and therapeutic expressive arts.
Counseling in the somatic/embodied approach is a refreshing shift away from standard talk therapies. We listen together, and feel for the pathways that offer opportunities for investigation. Embodied Counseling with Elizabeth weaves breath, presence and awareness practices, We use body-centered therapeutic approaches which means we are in motion, using our voices, speaking our truths, telling our stories, and being engaged in a psycho dramatic enactments which can be playful, fun, deep and as real as real gets.
Along with focused inquiry, this process calls for silence and stillness, movement, sound and story, prayers, invocations and feisty expressions of joy, freedom and discovery. Elizabeth has an extraordinary capacity for space holding, providing a heart space both sacred and compassionate – for people to become familiar and comfortable with the internal landscapes and the process of self discovery.
We generally work in a series/block of three sessions with at least one outdoor Walk’n’ talk session per week.
I offer explorations into various sacred healing states including the therapeutic use of earth based medicinals. This is a series of sessions in which we meet before to flush out intentions and open the healing channels. We have a journey day, and an integration session to follow. Ongoing counseling is always available live or by Skype.
