About

Are you at a crossroads, or on a threshold?
Throughout life, we experience, "little deaths," that change our course. Loss of security, a dream, health, job, marriage, country or beliefs take us over a threshold into a new world where life no longer makes sense. Our old tools and ways of coping or understanding are no longer enough to pilot us to the other side of what can feel like a vast, deep river. While often terrifying, these are the golden opportunities in which our true nature, or purpose in life can be revealed. My job is to serve as your guide and assist you on your own unique journey to the next chapter of your life.

What I offer you
To become one's most whole, alive and vibrant self, a safe place can nurture those elements of your life you want to preserve, or shed those that no longer serve you, or to heal those that have left their mark.
