It’s fun to think my raison d’être, and desire to help others be their most beautiful vibrant selves, might have come from my French name. Florence stems from Floreo & Florens, which stem from the Latin verb that means, “I flower” as in blossoming and flourishing. I can honestly say, that my personal areas of development, passion and interests over my lifetime, have all revolved around blossoming and helping others do the same.
I know first hand how much more joy and love I have in life, now that I’ve taken down my barriers and opened myself up more to life and love. Now that I’m clear about what I want, and I am brave enough to say it and go after it. Now that I've learned to let go of “perfectionism” and welcomed “good enough” as my new way of being in this world. Now that I am not so serious and have allowed myself to play and try new things, even if I know that I’m not necessarily going to be good at them. Now that I realize that life can be bittersweet and hard, and so we must orient ourselves towards what we love, and nurture what we treasure, and celebrate what is working. That we must mindfully water our own gardens, and those of whom we love, putting our care and attention on watering the flowers not the weeds in life.
All the branches of my studies and career and hobbies have carried the theme of healing and blossoming. For me it's always been about helping people be their most vibrant, healthy, authentic, beautiful selves. Living well, laughing often and loving fully. Whether it’s been as a Marital Family Therapist, Clinical Art Therapist, or as a Life and Relationship Coach, it is always an honor to witness someone's transformation, and to be of service.
It's very rewarding to see a person start living the life they've always wanted personally, romantically, with their family and/or their career.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you grow and blossom!
Warmly,
Florence
