I have been practicing for 10 years, 12 if you count the free student labor, and it is time for a break ya’ll! Due to the busy nature of our society, I have been unable to deepen and lean into the work that feeds my soul and unavailable for some of my personal interests. Taking my own advice, I have developed and implemented the SMART goal to take a sabbatical-a paid leave to further one’s craft, for the year of 2026.
While on sabbatical, I will be working on certifications in Coaching (ICF), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
I will also be focusing on my Zumba fitness business and working on a book that is part memoir and part easy to follow recipe for how I conduct therapy.
To ensure I meet these 2026 goals for self-development, I will only be working 2-3 days each week and only working with clients in connection to my certification goals:
-Individuals who are committed to using EMDR of EFT/tapping for trauma resolution (single incident or complex trauma)
-Couples, Cules, and Families interested in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
-Coaching clients including EFT/tapping for individuals and groups
