"Self"- Help starts with the Self !

It is my mission to provide a Mindful perspective to Mental Health & Wellness and empower personal growth and development … “Dwell in Possibility!”

The Mindful Mind and it’s programs have been my life’s work, influenced largely by my own life experience surviving Childhood Cancer. I am highly motivated by my recovery and from my unique experience of using Art, which proved to be a valuable tool for introspection and strongly influenced my healing and recovery. My curiosity to understand this process and how it influenced my recovery became my life’s work and professional endeavor. It has been my dream to create my own company to provide Education and Awareness to benefit and help others in their own healing process. Continuing the battle against Human “dis-ease” in the greater sense; encompassing all levels of physical, mental and emotional states in which we are "ill-at ease" with our Self. As the proud owner of The Mindful Mind, I have constructed my own programs and curriculum developed from my own professional experience and research. I have dedicated myself in this mission and I am deeply inspired to continue to create awareness with my community outreach, coaching, lectures and workshops!

 My Specialty

With an expertise in Mental Health, Human Behavior & Development; I am an experienced MFT, teacher and artist.  I have nearly 30 years experience working in Art, Education and Human Development as a Teacher, Therapist and Life Coach. I specialize in Jungian Depth Analysis,  Introspective and Experiential Process work; creating Wholeness and Balance through Mind/Body connections and use of Expressive & Healing Arts.

My ‘Mindful-based’ Life “Support” Coaching, workshops and lectures were all designed around the greater goal of increasing awareness through education, and helping others to help themselves. My “Life Support” Program is focused on Psychoeducation and Experiential based work that is designed to create opportunities to ‘Experience’ and ‘Process’ life in different ways in order to help promote Self-Awareness, Acceptance and Growth. In this program you will learn to operate from a more Cohesive Self; integrating parts of your Self, gaining Awareness and Creating Balance in your life.

My Expressive Art and Experiential Mind/Body Workshops create an opportunity to Experience and Learn through the process of ‘Doing’ and Empower you to be an active participant in your life! My program offers a special “Hands-On”, Experiential approach to Self-help. My workshops include the use of symbols/images, visual installations and transitional objects to stimulate memory, response and reflection. Connecting the Body & Mind with an external object or process, creates a means for “Self”-Expression, Self-Reflection, Process and Growth; generating Mindfulness and a greater sense of “Self”-Awareness. Doing this while also practicing Present-Centered Awareness, helps to create a strong memory connecting the Mind and Body together, Intrinsically creating a potential for growth developing into a foundation for positive change. Consider the process of Alchemy, wherein you can truly “reap what you sow”, getting-out and receiving-in all of the what you have added  into the process ~ (tenfold to what you started with)! It is an Alchemical mixture created by adding ingredients, opportunities and experiences to your life! 

The goal is not to limit these experiences due to expectations or judgement,

 but to work with what is present  ~  releasing judgement and blockages with awareness and insight... Its NOT WHAT you start with , its WHEN !
