Insight can be useful when we’re able to bring it into our human lives. My work is to ask you questions about what you feel, think and do. I have no answers; only questions. Your work is to meet yourself where you are, find your answers inside yourself and choose your next step. Using an experiential and cognitive approach, along with metaphors and humor, I help you explore what you learned during your formative years that created your current beliefs and values. These values and beliefs were based on experiences with family, the culture and institutions. By answering questions you might not have thought to ask yourself, you explore if they are still true for you now and how they affect the quality of your life as an adult. You begin building a relationship with your authentic self; your integrative self. With this exploration and self-reflection, you find the courage to live your own values and beliefs.
I’m a graduate of the 7-year program at the school of Healing Arts. I continue to study and explore the experience of the integrative self – mind, body and spirit.
I specialize in family and society-of-origin issues, behavioral addictions, relationship and communication skills along with life balancing skills. I lived over ten years as part of an intentional community; The Farm. I learned valuable lessons about communication and people working together. I also have over fifteen years in the classroom with upper elementary students where I learned to respect each person’s individual journey in life.
I have recently begun exploring aging and honoring the journey that includes gathering the wisdom available when we embrace this experience.
I also offer practical life skills that help us deal with focus, overwhelm, confusion and all the other experiences of our very human life.
