Stacey’s Orientation and Approach

Stacey believes we all possess the resources within ourselves to transform our lives for the better. She passionately guides her clients on a journey of discovering the basic truth as they transform their suffering into peace. Stacey encourages her clients to explore living as the best versions of themselves: healthy and while human beings that are thriving in this world and not just surviving within it.

Stacey believes it is vital and necessary to cultivate loving and kindness and compassion towards ourselves as we work towards reconnecting to the brilliant clarity and wisdom shining within us at all times. This process takes a lot of strength, and most importantly, support as it can be difficult to take on such a courageous task alone.

Often times what separates us from the connection to our basic goodness and authentic selves are life events that are out of our control. Sometimes these events can be abrupt, such as a traumatic accident, or slowly progress over time, such as depression, or anxiety. In any case we are responding to what life brings us in the only way we know how and the best way we can.

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”

-Lao Tzu

Staceys approach draws form an eclectic array of therapeutic techniques when working with her clients based on their individual needs. No one technique is effective for all people and therapy sessions must be tailored to what the client truly needs to work on in the moment. Person-centered and humanistic in nature, Stacey believes the trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of greatest importance when bringing the unconscious into light.

Stacey helps clients pay attention to their thoughts and become aware of their bodies as they begin to understand how each influences the other. By using mindfulness techniques, clients can learn to take control of their thoughts and emotions in order to transform their moods, states, and, overtime, their entire lives for the better.

“By paying attention to the here and now, we are training ourselves to be in a relationship with what is, and not what it should or shouldn’t be. We are befriending our emotions by allowing them to exist independent of whether we like them or not. We are opening up to accepting life as it is. Feelings of self-love, compassion and empowerment can blossom from this quiet and still place, revealing new insights that deeply transform how we navigate life.”
