Witnessing her mom’s health after a stroke, Sheila felt compelled to write her mom’s story, then realized she wanted to write more. She transitioned from her first act to her second act as an author or dreamer, where she does not experience objective measurements. Sheila is very passionate about language, as she loves the way words and images resonate. She feels that writing is a way to share what experiences have taught her and to express her truth. Sheila shares the following powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
– a book is the heart that beats in the chest of another
– don’t be afraid to make mistakes
– don’t second guess yourself
– just keep going
– transition takes time and can’t be rushed
– make decisions that bring you joy
– for those that are transitioning from act one to act two:  you may not see the new work coming, embrace the surge, recognize that it will take time, the new work does not invalidate the old, it builds on it. Also, if you choose to take pursue a second act, then you get to keep your passions, you get to revise your purpose and find a payoff that you might not have previously anticipated.

Writing as a “second act” is thrilling and humbling. Sheila uses skills and work habits learned in her first act to express thoughts and feelings–the fruit of decades–that she hadn’t articulated before. She’s still engaged with the world, but she’s exploring in a different dimension. In addition to career and motherhood, she’s practiced yoga, hiked, and dabbled in foreign languages. Born in a taxi in Manhattan, she studied at the Bronx High School of Science, Harvard University, and the University of California at Berkeley. She continues to live in Phoenix with her husband and her new, rescued dog.

Katherine knew some things were brewing in her life; in her marriage, her father’s alcoholism and abandonment of the family. She developed a food addiction and attempted suicide. Then, Katherine had a wake up call. She began a journey of healing her body and heart. Katherine changed her relationship with food and body. Now, she helps people with the process of healing from the inside out. Katherine shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
– don’t let your pain act itself out
– we still have to do the work
– our pain can be a part of our path
– hope is truth that is still more
– hope is healing when we are hurt and injured
– real people telling real stories is inspirational
– we have such capacities within us, beyond our own resilience
– be patient with and trust the process
– be in the company of others
– challenge the thoughts that are not true

For many, counseling offers the possibility of making lasting, positive changes in life and in relationships. For others, it offers the realization that by dissolving old patterns of thinking and believing, life is perfect exactly the way it is. Ultimately, it is about helping others live and love as their most conscious self.

For those interested, she provides a powerful mindfulness ritual at the beginning of each session, which can help clients be more present for the session and more connected to themselves throughout the process. Her overall approach is direct, interactive and collaborative with a goal of creating greater sense of personal and relational well-being.

After enjoying years of working in the field of Public Health, she experienced an inner stirring….like the wind at the change of a season. What ensued was a process of reflection, curiosity and ultimately trust. It became clear that Public Health was not her final stop and that what was right and true was to follow in the footsteps of her father and become a therapist.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, she loves bringing the ideals of Public Health together with her work as a counselor, offering to those she serves a holistic approach that includes celebrating diversity in all its forms.
