 I believe that people have incredible inner wisdom and the potential for transformation and healing.  Sometimes we are unable to access these resources or do not trust ourselves, and we look to others for answers.  Clients come to counseling because they want to change something in their lives.  They may need support, encouragement, and education in this process.  They also need to learn how to access and trust their own deepest wisdom.  My job as a counselor is to join in a collaborative journey to find movement and healing in whatever situations are problematic.  Lasting change means accessing the roots of the difficulties and making fundamental shifts that allow clients to honor who they truly are and to find joy and inner peace.  One of the valuable resources for continued well-being is a spiritual approach to life, so assisting clients in their abilities to access their own spiritual paths is an important part of the journey. 

Creatively offering a variety of approaches honors that the healing process for each person is unique.  Jungian psychology; sandtray and other creative modalities; cognitive-behavioral, transpersonal, and person-centered psychotherapy; energy healing, and systems theory can all be useful tools.  Clients also bring their understanding of themselves, their lives, and their relationships.  We focus on healing and possibility rather than pathology, working together to achieve optimal well-being.

My professional interests include individual and couples counseling and Sandtray Journeying; relationship challenges; grief and loss; self-esteem (including dealing with one’s inner critic); life transitions; depression; inner child healing; fear; serious physical illness; death and dying, and spiritual growth.  In addition to face-to-face counseling, I offer long-distance counseling, workshops and classes, and counselor education and supervision.  Services provided that are outside the traditional scope of practice for LPC’s include energy healing sessions, ceremonial services, in-home intensives, and intensive retreats. 

What is Sandtray Journeying? 

There is journeying beyond words and intellectual understanding, and it can help one grow and heal.  Placing figures in a deep tray of sand, the client creates a space in which to access inner wisdom through intuitive play. I am a guide and companion on this journey.  Sandtray Journeying uses symbols to teach us and move us.  In addition to the symbols, the sand itself calls us to place our hands in it and experience its healing power.  Healing happens without having to "figure things out."  A client's inner wisdom takes physical form, and creativity blossoms.  Want to know more?  Call with any questions.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (meaning "universal life force") is an energy healing practice that offers peace and relaxation as well as a return to balance and well-being in one’s body, mind, and spirit.  The client often lies on a massage table but remains fully clothed.  Through a gentle laying on of hands, the Reiki practitioner channels this universal healing energy and offers it to the client.  It is a non-invasive form of energy balancing, as the wisdom of the client’s own body and spirit take in the energy where it is most needed.

Group ceremony for both men and women offered each month.   Using the full moon energy for illumination and clarity, this event offers an opportunity to welcome into one's life what truly honors and supports growth and to continue to release what is no longer in one's highest good.  With drumming, group sandtray, and a ceremony at the fire pit, we join together in this evening of transformation and celebration.  Call to find out times and dates
