My journey through 20 years of professional experience, motherhood, career and relationship changes, paired with a decade coaching individuals through transition, loss and spiritual crisis have provided me with a deep understanding of the simple but hard task of balancing human “stuff” with our aspirations for freedom, serenity, meaning and purpose. Looking for clues about how to strike this balance, I have turned to academia, writers, artists, elders and various wisdom traditions. Informed by experience and study, I believe that therapy is most effective when practical (simple) solutions are applied to the things that stand in the way of our aspirations. I also believe that symbolic gestures in the form of personal ritual or ceremony can provide a space for our dreams to take form. I honor the right that we all have to be in a good relationship with oneself and the world around us.
