We all face challenges in our lives. Most of us have been lost or afraid or stuck or confused in one way or another. No matter how well we plan, still the moment to moment tasks of our lives are improvisation. When we can access the creative, spontaneous, perceptive parts of ourselves we have more freedom to choose how we behave in difficult circumstances. With this expanded freedom, we are abl...

Therapy at its best must be truth-seeking and life-changing, not merely soothing. The counseling relationship helps you reach deep source pain and find the reasons for dysfunction and life confusion. It gives you the opportunity, insights and tools to regain your birthright of health, and is a uniquely healing process. If you are at the point in your life where you want to experience unaccustom...

We work together to find solutions, identify patterns and overcome the fears and obstacles...

Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin t...
