About Me:
Born in Boulder Colorado, I grew up with the presuppositions of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a consistent part of my experience: there is no failure, only feedback… people work perfectly… behind every behavior is a positive intention… My parents, Steve Andreas and Connirae Andreas have been developing and training NLP all of my life, so I grew up in the midst of a new understanding of how each one of us experiences outer reality through the five senses, creating our own unique and rich internal representations and resultant strategies for navigating through the world. When we understand these inner structures, we can change what isn’t working for us, shifting to what does work.
My Experience:
In private practice since 2009, I also train NLP around the country and the world. Together with Connirae Andreas, I co-sponsor Andreas NLP Trainings, which hosts innovative trainers and trainings at the growing edge of the NLP field. My past experience includes having worked in wilderness therapy as a counselor/trip-leader for the Monarch Center for Family Healing where I was in charge of facilitating groups of “troubled” youth on a daily basis both in individual therapy and group process. In 2006 I completed the NLP Comprehensive NLP Practitioner Training in Colorado, and in 2008 I worked as one of four facilitators of the same seminar. I completed my NLP Master Practitioner Training with NLP Comprehensive in the summer of 2008, and my NLP Trainer’s Training in 2009 at the NLP Institute of California. Since then I have coached and participated in many more trainings (see full list below). My book “Sweet Fruit from the Bitter Tree: 61 stories of creative and compassionate ways out of conflict” was published in 2011, and my book “Waltzing with Wolverines: finding connection and cooperation with troubled teens” was published in 2015.
