The central focus of my practice is relationship. Whether we are exploring your relationship with your partner, work, family or spirit, it always brings us home to relationship with self. In this work, you will move past old and tired stories to a more powerful and purposeful experience of life. You take the time to clearly understand what you want, need, think and feel in your relationships, while learning tools to communicate this fearlessly.
As your authentic voice emerges, your relationships shift, allowing integrity, freedom and joy to thrive. At our most Authentic, there is only the present, and all of this is experienced with a deep sense of self worth, compassion and personal power. This group has supported many to move beyond automatic and tired patterns of relationship. Through teachings, sharing.
It is important to me that those I work with are a good fit for my practice, so I offer an initial consultation at no charge to determine if we are a match! Personal counseling clients can choose to have some sessions over the phone as well as between session email support.

Personal
We each learn early in our lives how to "show up" in relationship.
Unfortunately, the skills which we developed early in life many not serve us as we strive to have balanced and healthy relationships as an adult.
This can show up in work, where we over function, experiencing burn out and resentment.
In our personal relationships, we may attract people who are emotionally unavailable or distant.
Or we may have developed a different set of relationship tools where we attract those who are needy, leaving us feeling that life is a series of duties to be performed for everyone else.

Relationship
Is your life contained in a nurturing and supportive relationship or one with judgment, anger and fear?
Those whom we love and invite into our lives (including our children) feel the emotions and energy we place into this container and it is from this place that they learn to experience their lives.
We begin with a fresh, honest and compassionate assessment of the relationship that has developed.
Each member begins to gain clarity as to what he or she would like to bring into the relationship.
Next, as a group, we establish relationship agreements that support an environment for each member to grow and to heal.

Professional
In professional counseling space is created to safely explore how your work life can more accurately reflect who you are as a person.
Work life experiences can provide endless opportunities for growth professionally as well as personally.
If you are feeling restless and dissatisfied in your career, the place to begin is within.
What is being called forward, how do the people I am working with today, reflect areas of growth in my own life, how do I react to authority or what do I do when I feel pressure in my career.

How I work
Sessions are 1 or 1.5 hour depending on the focus of our work.
Some session may focus on shifting limiting beliefs while some work on new skills for communicating effectively and from the heart.
It always begins from the fundamental belief that each of us has a powerful and calm resource within.
Life, relationships and work, at times, distance us from this powerful part of ourselves.
We take time to calm the mind and body enabling a direct connection to this powerful resource.
Utilizing various modalities and skillful planning, we strive to release old patterns and create concrete plans for moving forward.
