As far back as Dr. Arellano can remember, her heart has been deeply moved by stories of people not only overcoming personal adversity, but using this adversity, courageously, as a springboard into greatness. And, like many, Dr. Arellano has her own "from adversity to greatness" story. These stories, as well as her own, have fueled her passion to help and support others, as they heal themselves and reclaim their personal power in creating a magnificent life.
Dr. Arellano subsequently knew, with absolute clarity, that her calling in life was to help others heal and reclaim their inner power. In answering this calling, Dr. Arellano pursued formal training in psychology. Dr. Arellano received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Denver with Honors in Psychology, Summa Cum Laude, and Phi Beta Kappa. She received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver as well.
Dr. Arellano entered private practice upon graduation. Her initial work with clients focused primarily on healing from negative and limiting beliefs that originated from past negative life experiences. However, she quickly realized that her clients were not just in need of healing from the past; they were also yearning for something greater. They wanted more out of the lives they were living. They wanted to be happier, healthier, more fulfilled in their careers and their relationships; yet "life was getting in the way" of their desires. They struggled with how to get from here to there -- from what they currently were experiencing to what they could only dream of experiencing. While psychotherapy was helpful in the healing process, it did very little for propelling them forward to a life they desired. Dr. Arellano related to this struggle as, in some ways, her life paralleled her clients. Dr. Arellano consequently pursued training in life coaching techniques and practical spiritual principles. She found power in these techniques and principles; and was able to transform the "bumps in the road" of her personal journey into stepping stones of success.
Dr. Arellano's life's work has led her to believe, firmly, that everyone -- no matter background, life experiences, or circumstances -- is capable of manifesting their heart's desires. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed and trying to find balance in your life, feeling bored or stuck and looking for greater fulfillment, or lost and trying to get back on track, Dr. Arellano can partner with you to move efficiently toward greater possibilities. With a strong belief in the power of human spirit and wisdom, her professional training as a strong foundation, her deep sense of compassion and ability to "get it," as well as her ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions, Dr. Arellano is the bridge you may need to get you from here to there. |
