Specialized Services to Level-Up Abilities for Loving Well
Loving Well is a Skill Set™
Loving well requires a soft front, strong back, and secure center.
What does this mean?
Leading with an unarmored heart, while claiming our truth to the best of our ability, and striving to live more embodied.
How do we do it?
Imperfectly! And...by learning the relational skill sets we can put into practice to level-up our ability to love well.
Where do we practice?
In every area of our lives! These skill sets are applicable and needed in our social, family, and work relationships!
Here are the three core principles that guide the ‘Loving Well is a Skill Set’ approach:
1) Love is Everyone’s Birthright
So Lead with a Soft and Open Heart
2) Loving Our Best is an Adult Responsibility
So Live with a Strong and Secure Stance
3) Loving Well is the Work of a Lifetime
So Strive for Progress not Perfection
When we honor our humanity by recognizing love as everyone’s birthright, and practice accountability by showing-up with emotional awareness and maturity, we’re developing our dynamic and ongoing capacity to love better. This work invites us to soften in the service of strength, to care while having boundaries, and to go beyond personal survival and become secure in our collective thriving. There is absolutely no way we can develop these skills without struggle and support from trustworthy relationships who are capable of helping us through with gained capacity and confidence - I strive to be such a person to my clients.
Qualifications:
I am a licensed psychotherapist (in California), International Coaching Federation credentialed coach, and hold certifications in psychological, somatic, and educational methodologies (see ‘about’ page for details). All this professional training has largely been due to a personal desire to better understand people and relationships. Specifically, I’ve had a lifelong preoccupation with attempting to make sense of our human wiring for bonding, belonging, and boundaries, and the complexity of how we negotiate meeting these sometimes conflicting sometimes complimentary needs that are critical to our survival and wellbeing. What I’ve discovered is that while love is inextricable in a way that defies definition, loving well involves actionable practices; skills we’re all capable of developing that drastically improves the quality our lives and the legacy we leave.
