Sacred Counseling, PLLC

Sifting Ashes, Creating Redemption, Exploring Delight

 

Engaging life stories that can stall our personal movement towards embracing who we are meant to be.

With an office location near North Austin in Cedar Park, my life’s work is grounded in holistic healing of mind, soul, body and spirit. As a trauma-informed therapist, I hold the ethical mandate to never invite clients to do work that I myself have not done. Therefore, my counseling work is founded upon my own journey into personal transformation and deep healing which has changed my health, thinking patterns, emotional experience and essence. You, too, can have new layers of freedom and health.

My training includes Story Work, group interaction, psychoeducation, trauma recovery, family dynamics, Grief work, internal communication with the self and/or parts of self, spiritual and energy work and the specialized use of language to transform how you think and interact.

Do you want to process life to gain clarity, increase freedom and strengthen your soul? Do you long for understanding about how your attachment wounds interact with current life events to elicit negative beliefs about yourself? Do you desire to reorient a negative belief about yourself into a more adaptive healthy self concept? Do you yearn for help shifting shameful language and experience into more free expression? Through collaborative work in therapy, you can reframe negative cognitions about life, about yourself, and about others while also creating space to heal from what creates the deepest pain in your life.

Areas of Practice

grief work

Foundational to my therapeutic approach is Grief Work. To hold the delight and gratitude people most desire, I believe that a willingness to enter the terrain of grief may be a helpful path. The sixth phase of Grief Work is to “make meaning” of our stories and our losses. It is from this space that humans move away from being a victim into the spaciousness of living victorious above our circumstances with vibrance and an elevated vibrational life force energy.


EMDR

Life often brings traumatic events which hijack our unique capacity to thrive as individuals and in relationships with others. As a trauma-trained therapist, it is a privilege to guide clients and witness the brain heal itself through a transformation process that changes the heart, mind, body and energy to bring more freedom and joy.


Dissociation to Dissociative disorders

Being on a team that opened a trauma facility specializing in dissociation from complex trauma, I have had the privilege of working with clients in “parts work”. This spectrum of work spans an understanding of an individual’s Internal Family System to a System’s multiple parts of self. My therapeutic experience can bring a unique healing experience for clients that openly holds space for parts of self to collaborate in order to move into the life adventure you desire to enjoy.


Story Work

It can be the names we are called, the ways our faces are rejected, the times our voices are silenced that leave us stunned, seeking a life of protection over play, living in fear rather than freedom. Story work for those whose harm has yet to be named can bring healing and acceptance. This mode of work invites those who love to write, to speak, and to process into a journey of making sense of some of the madness in a gentle and nurturing way. Move into empowerment over your life by reframing the stories that brought harm.


Psycho-education about the personality and human behavior

In order to get something different, we have to have new information and new experience to shift away from old patterns of thinking and behaving. Therefore, part of therapy with me is helping you learn how you navigate the world compared to others you care about, how relationships function or malfunction, how personality can impact perspective, and how to consider new options in order to create a new experience.


Reiki Energy and Sound Healing Practitioner

It is becoming more widely understood in the West what has long been held as truth in the East - humans are energy bodies. When our bodies experience harm, we can become blocked in our energy life flow. Reiki and Sound Healing are two modes of aiding in opening blocked energy in the body to release the heart, mind and spirit. With both Reiki Master Certification and Sound Healing Training, a focus on healing energy is a part of how I engage my clients.


spirit, Essence, Soul Work

With almost two decades in spiritual transformation and guidance, I can with kind grace incorporate spiritual questions, concerns, abuse, and desire into any therapeutic relationship. No matter your faith, beliefs, denomination, ethnicity, race, or orientation, if you desire spiritual perspective, you will find acceptance and love at Sacred Counseling.

SEMANTIC SPECIALIST

An offering at Sacred Counseling for personal or corporate use: If you need assistance in crafting language that helps you be clear, calm and kind while also communicating with words that are brief, informative, friendly and firm in order to reflect healthy boundaries with those that may struggle to honor limits, I offer sessions aimed solely at helping you remain curious with your written or spoken words to elicit the greatest space in yourself and others for open dialogue, true communication, release of expectations and assumptions and deep understanding of personal limitations that block meaningful understanding.
