Psychotherapy & Support for Law Enforcement, First Responders, & Military Personnel & Families
As I reflect back, it is not surprising to me that I have a history of studying and working within and around the criminal justice system in different capacities. I am called to pursue new avenues and ways of supporting local law enforcement and first responders! This is a population that I believe deeply deserves and needs additional support. If you or a loved one is connected to these populations just reach out! Coriander Living Collective is open to individual teenage and adult clients for individual talk and trauma therapy, training, consultation, supervision, and other creative offerings of support!
Are You an Allosexual? BIBLIOTHERAPY: ACE: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex
One of the core values of Coriander Living Collective LLC is EXPANSION! To move into feeling alive, space to heal what holds us back, to adventure, to change, and to grow.
The book, ACE: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen challenges the idea of compulsory sexuality that pervades Western culture.
She makes the argument that if asexuality was better understood and accepted, in turn it would create sexual and romantic liberation for all.
Release Stress and Claim Joy!
Stress is a common occurrence for many of us! The problem with stress is when it is chronic, overwhelming, or when we don’t have good stress management tools.
The mindfulness, resource-based movement practice of Open Floor International is one of the best ways, I know to release stress and allow the body to self-regulate.

Bibliotherapy: The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin, D.C.
Due to conditioning, family and cultural expectations, and personal history, knowing what we want, how to express it, and holding clear boundaries can be a challenge for many of us.
Dr. Betty Martin has created the Wheel of Consent framework to help us learn about what we really want, empowering us to set limits, to create clear communication, and satisfaction in relationships. Her book, The Art of Receiving and Giving, is a framework that can heal trauma by empowering choice and voice.

Bibliotherapy: Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament by Michael A. Singer
Many years ago, I read Singer’s The Untethered Soul and a few months ago, Singer’s new book Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament showed up on the required reading list of my Open Floor Teacher Training. This book includes spiritual ideas and wonderful, provoking thoughts. It is about how to accept reality and the flow of life. He talks about acceptance as non-resistance; how we resist and cling to things, and how this creates suffering. Singer discusses how to live life free from the past. My favorite parts of this book were the chapters: The Origin of Matter, The Power of Creation, and It’s Not Personal. It was a comprehensive science lesson on evolution. These ideas landed for me like never before.
