We are in some difficult financial times.  More and more people are being forced to face uncertainties about their jobs, but also about their vocations...their callings.  The crisis we are in has spurred discussions about more than better paying jobs, but about vocations with deeper meaning and purpose.  People are pulling from deep within themselves a SELF more authentic and brave than what they have been.  

The decision to see a counselor is a commendable one!  Maybe you relate to something I have said here, and maybe it's time to make some changes.  I would be honored to join you in your process...to provide a context for honest, open-ended, creative exploration about whatever situation you find yourself in.  Whether you have some idea of where you are headed or you feel totally lost and uncertain, I am happy to be there with you. 

  • ~Individual Counseling

    A 50 minute session which can be short-term, solution-focused or long-term, explorative, healing work. 

  • ~Group Counseling

    A 90 minute session with a small group (4-8) people processing their thoughts and feelings around a particular topic or relevant issue to personal life and relationships.  When participating in these groups, you will find support for your particular struggle and will be given feedback on how the other people in the group experience you.  These weekly sessions are particularly helpful if you would like to learn how to have more fulfilling relationships.  Groups are a dynamic experience where people report personal growth happening quickly.  Groups are forming regularly.  Contact me to find out about the next group.  Your name will be placed on a waiting list, and when that list grows to 4 or more, the group will choose a date and begin.  Groups are set for 10 weeks in duration and continue at the requests of the group members. 

    Some group themes are:

    ~Co-ed interpersonal groups

    ~Coming Out or questioning matters of sexuality

    ~Artist's Way (creative group)

    ~Grief/Transition (including death, divorce, break-up, loss of pet, life changes, etc.)

    ~Exploring the Sacred Feminine Women's Group

  • ~Therapeutic Writing

    As part of your individual counseling sessions, you will have an opportunity to write about particular aspects of your life or your history, as they relate to the situation which brought you into counseling.  Your writings will become pieces of dialogue for us, as you present them to me and I provide written feedback.  For those who feel they express themselves better in writing, this process can be extremely insightful and healing.
