As psychosynthesis counselor and life coach I see my work much like a mountain guide who is familiar with navigating the terrain. My training is to be highly attentive to you, the traveler, to provide support as you connect with your own inner compass. I am a skilled ally offering an array of tools to assist individuals in their process of self-discovery and healing, in realizing their sense of purpose, and in aligning with their inner call. These tools include self-assessment exercises, skilled inquiry, guided imagery and inner journey work, art, sub-personality work, movement and focusing (a form of somatic therapy).

I provide practical goal-directed and transitional life coaching, and I also offer guidance and support for those who seek emotional healing. Whether one is considering a new career or dealing with serious challenges emerging in relationships, past trauma, depression and anxiety, physical illness and/or disabilities, issues with food, money, body issues, loss ... something important is emerging. It is my job to help clients (in psychosynthesis referred to as "travelers") to find value in this emergence, to discover what is at the heart of the matter, what that inner calling is, and to make life choices that are aligned with that inner call, free from limitting thoughts and behaviors.

Getting Started with Therapy

The sense of connection and trust in a client/therapist relationship is key, through it one can begin to deepen a sense of trust and connection with one’s self. For this reason, I offer an initial free session so that you and I can get to know each other enough to determine whether who I am and what I offer is right for you. If you would like to get started, go to the “Contact Me” page, send me a note, and I will reply with dates and times that I am available to meet with you along with a few intake forms, and we’ll go from there!

Cost

I charge $45 - $100 for private sessions which are an hour to an hour and 15 minutes long. My services are not covered by insurance, reimbursements from HSA plans are available. Workshops vary in price.

No one is turned away based on inability to pay.
