Has your walk through life become rocky? Are problems piling up, to the point that you feel overwhelmed and confused? Counseling is a way to navigate rough terrain with the assistance of a trained professional who cares and listens, without judgment. It's also a way to explore new paths, set goals, and find direction for becoming the person you want to be.
I practice psychotherapy from a holistic perspective, focusing on the mind-body connection and how we can tap into that connection to create a sense of inner peace and outer equilibrium. I specialize in treating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and issues of midlife and aging. I also offer mindfulness workshops, nature therapy, and custom-designed, private rituals for life transitions such as divorce and job change.

With almost 40 years of experience in the healing arts, I hold a deep appreciation for how our mind, body, and spirit are interconnected.
Human beings function as integrated systems and a change in one part of the system will echo, either positively or negatively, in other parts of the system.
I believe - and practice - that a calm mind and open heart help us live more authentically, more in touch with ourselves, with others, and with our natural environment.
In "previous lives" I worked as a yoga/meditation teacher, massage therapist, and editor at The Mother Earth News magazine.

I offer psychotherapy for adults that is based on an existential and humanistic framework.
These theories focus on the larger questions of life: Why are we here?
How can we make the most of this life we have been given?
What is the meaning of human suffering?
How can we stay emotionally balanced and calm amid the incessant changes of life?
I also draw on practical approaches such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because some issues can be resolved relatively quickly and easily, in only a few sessions - usually by adjusting how you think and what you tell yourself about a particular problem or situation in your life.

Mindfulness is a transformative self-care practice that originated 2,600 years ago in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
Once you learn the basic techniques, you can use it to enhance your overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being - by radically altering the way you relate to the world around you.
This ancient practice has modern benefits: not only calmness and emotional balance, but a deeper understanding and acceptance of the pleasure and pain, fear and joy that life inevitably brings.

Thousands of years ago, human beings held primitive ceremonies to mark the events of their lives: birth; coming into adulthood; passage into and out of parenthood; pairing with a life partner; transitioning into death.
Rituals also were used to celebrate community events: the passing of the seasons; harvest time; going to war; returning from the hunt.
Whole communities would come together to celebrate, or mourn, or feast.
Their gatherings honored the cycle of life and the power of community.
Today, except for a few cultures that still use time-honored ceremonies as a way to strengthen their group bonds, we have largely given up this custom.

Biologically, humans are like all other animals: We're made of four elements - earth, air, water, and fire.
Spending time outside, in the natural world, connects us with those elemental parts of ourselves.
We feel our place in the macrocosm.
Sadly, however, many of us in the developed world suffer from what is called "nature deficit disorder."
Spending the majority of our lives indoors, with eyes, fingers, and brains glued to our electronic devices, we've become disconnected from our biological roots.
