Hello healing community,
As a mind/body practitioner, I am on quite a remarkable journey with a relatively new and cutting edge therapeutic perspective, labeled as pain reprocessing therapy. Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based approach for treating, rather than just managing, chronic pain. https://www.painreprocessingtherapy.com

Thus far, I have guided myself and my clients on a primarily mental journey to a new, intentional healing story of wellbeing, and now thanks to the tutelage of Kim Burns and Sea 2 Summit PT, whom I highly reccomend, we are getting physical.

As a witness to our mental capability and creative possibility provided through an ongoing intentional, integrative practice, I will be integrating PRT into my current mind/body psychotherapy practice, where I am currently accepting and encouraging new clients.

You can also find me out around town, as I step back into the music scene with my words of awareness and assertion, sung to the rhythms that brought me safely back home.

As we practice, so we become~

I am writing this article tonight with the anticipation of posting these words on the morrow. Upon rising, free from the residual and chronic, holistic pain. Witness to the passing of an intergenerational preamble that became my storied nemesis, I am authoring a new chapter and perhaps a new book to place in the library of life.

As we practice, unburdened by possibility, moving from our intentional core, with mindfulness, to create healthy boundaries, that sustain our compassionate nature, in balance with our natural environment, so we become integrated in mind/body~soul/spirit.

Late In the winter of 1996, I found myself in St. Patrick Hospital overlooking the hills of Hellgate Canyon in Missoula, Montana, diagnosed with Guillain Barre’ syndrome, an autoimmune disorder.
As I lay on the gurney, immobilized by temporary paralysis, I found relief from a cervical compression fracture and other Rugby related injuries that I had long endured. It was then, in that place of pause, that I found purpose and made a pact with the planet to work together to promote wellness.
My mind, as witness, understood that it must work to create a compassionate and peaceful space to also recover. This initial awareness became the impetus for my healing journey.
By the following fall of 1997, I was enrolled in a graduate clinical psychology program, to understand the complexities of physical and mental injury/illness/trauma/disease.

I have kept my promise to the planet and today I reap the benefits of an extensive intentional practice and a career choice based on service.
As such, I am a therapist in private practice, a contractor for an online platform provider and when it all goes well, a singer/songwriter, performing songs of awareness on a public stage.

I am presently taking new clients as an LMHC and I will be editing and updating my practice information to reflect my current therapeutic perspective with recent influence from mindfulness, somatic, trauma focused, and internal family systems approaches.
Along with the application of yoga, meditation, mantras, visualization, nature and narrative therapy and in congruence with evidence based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I have developed an eclectic and creative, integrative mind/body practice that I am determined to bring to light!
(See below bio and reference links)

If you feel we would be a good fit for therapy on your healing journey, please reach out to me on my psychology today profile link below and I will respond to schedule a free, brief 5-10 minute consult.

If you find my writings hold information that you or someone you know will benefit from, please share.

If you have any information that will assist me on this journey, please contact me on one of the links below.

My next music show is on Sunday the 8th at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, HWY SR 542, where I have gathered many thoughts and written songs of awareness and wellbeing, in the company of trees.

The artistic medium serves well as a stronghold, from where we can develop and refine creative expression. As such, I found a stronghold in my paralysis, to internally create a spiritually supporting mind/body, and free it from reactive influence through artistic application.

LOVE PIRATE
I have written many short stories on my path, recording a journey to be sung for the soul. This, however, is a longer tale..
Today the title appeared, as I looked across Lake Padden. Emblazoned upon the farther shore, the uniting of two words to begin to explain a journey of connection and desire. I had text-ed my dear friend today these words, “I just realized, I don't need to be a pirate.” It occurred to me, I have pirated time and space to create my own healing, ever since my body was taken captive by illness, in 1996. It is 2016, Winter is setting in around the lake, as it is late November.
I am listening to Billy Holiday's, Lady Satin. I am peaceful, all is well-in here. Out there, woe and whoa! We have extreme, bipolar, psychosis level chaos, chaos that consumes the mind. It is “the order of the day, night, break-time, order of the-pause!” As inhabitants of this planet, we have had to create some intense mental training regimens to get through this crazy world, to help us acclimate to extreme levels of consumerism. I am living in Bellingham, WA , a Northwestern state in the US. Here people have the time and space to be compassionate, to themselves, to others- meditations, yoga’s, rhythmic dance, somatic guidance, drumming, music, mind/body integrative practices, intentional and amalgamating, such healing possibilities!
As I write, I acknowledge the majority of the world lacks this “beyond survival mode opportunity,” So perhaps we ought to use our time wisely. We know of masterful politicians and corporate minions, and vice versa, who aim to manipulate, stall and cripple our mental process. Selling to the conscious, subconscious and unconscious minds a two bit, star lit, media caricature. Many here in Bellingham have the DT's, the symptoms are suspiciously similar to delirium tremens, both dysfunctional states brought on by over-excess. Mind/bodies caught on toxic levels, needing a fix of something new, old, near, far, anything, everything. Haunting, really!
I find that I am overly sensitized by the big stores, storage warehouses, politicians, minions, media. It all pulls me rapidly from my awareness, from my balance, my spirit guide and my healing. Can I afford to part with that? As a mind/body integrative therapist, I rely upon my ability to know myself in order to creatively assist others. As a musician, I celebrate my ability to know myself and tune into my strength of expression. No! I, therefore, must work to maintain a balanced lifestyle and create the potential for a higher awareness and continue my healing. My next question. of an intimate nature, is can you?

The art of giving~

The practice of giving love freely is beautifully simple. It is simply beautiful art to allow love to flourish and nourish.

Peace and love, as it were!

I assist those who are aware that the story they are currently living is no longer serving them well.
