Choosing Love, Lil by Lil, Miracles Happen. Love Lil Miracles, LLC. * You are already perfect, whole, and complete now. This is already set by Divine. You just get to remember. & You get to understand and feel these words deeply. Inspired aligned action from this integrous space leads to expansion. Therapy could crystallize your clarity, calm, awareness, and drive to get there. Prior to licensure I showed my love for social services, with over 20 years of community volunteer and work experience on crisis intervention, domestic violence, and aviation hotlines, in stabilization units of hospitals, dialysis clinics, and in residential treatment homes for severe mental illness. After the master's, my clinical care extended fully to detox, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient, levels in mental health and addiction treatment centers. During licensure I learned social work in palliative and hospice home care settings, moved into leadership roles in the treatment centers, and now get to bring that breadth and depth into my own holistic, online outpatient private practice. Populations I'm most experienced with are first responders, service members, aviation professionals, teachers, survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault, elderly, and overwhelmed care givers, though I love growing with many. Crafted specializations are trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, grief/bereavement, addiction/codependency, relationship/attachment issues, health/wellness, and cultural humility/awareness. While the primary modality used is transformational EMDR, I also weave techniques of IFS, ACT, CBT, MI, EFT, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Strength's Based, and Solution-Focused when fitting. Steadily, I stand by the ethics of the National Association of Social Work. Values personally and professionally followed are authenticity, courage, integrity, and compassion. Top 5 tested Clifton Strengths character traits fittingly were Empathy, Positivity, Input, Activator, and Achiever. Lol. Living in South America for two years, leaning Spanish & Latin dances there, obtaining a yoga teacher training in Greece, traveling all the Americas as a flight attendant- I adamantly love learning of other cultures and people. I also always love & appreciate my dear family, friends, dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, green yard, yoga mat, and motorcycle at home. Hehe. :) Now, all the rest is... Who are you? Let's clear who you're not, flow to find your truth, align to build it, and create. Let therapy with Shells unwind to spring forward towards a true new journey to you. You're worth it.
