"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
– Mary Oliver

We are living in a unique time and often find ourselves confused or overwhelmed by our experiences of isolation, constant change, unfulfilled longings, difficult suffering and puzzling relationships. Occasionally, we need a place to slow down and learn to come back home to ourselves, our senses, the Earth and our communal life with others. I bring the wisdom of 30+ years as a therapist, as well as teaching and supervising counselors-in-training at Regis University. This work has centered on how to recover the talents and purpose of one’s individual path, particularly when anxiety, darkness, or pain seem to occupy our attention. Difficult patterns and habits can shrink our awareness of how we are being creatively invited into a more open and courageous future. I often work with clients from the helping professions, the arts, and education and have been trained in both short-term and long-term approaches to therapy.

Therapeutic conversations can be a pragmatic time of problem solving, a time of remembering and digesting stubborn, old wounds and betrayals so you can return to a more engaging world, a time of reawaking and reimagining one’s forgotten heart, and a time and place where you research the sacred dimensions and mysteries of what you are doing here and who your destiny is inviting you to become. I have found that these conversations can be best collaboratively created when guided by the encouraging curiosity of Narrative Therapy and the soulful expansiveness of Depth Psychology. Let me know if I can be of help uncovering the conversation you need in order to find your way forward.
