Coaching & Psychotherapy

I bring 25 years experience as a licensed psychotherapist to provide empathy and effectiveness to my coaching and psychotherapy practices. My specialities include: helping you trust your heart, couples therapy, divorce, and aligning your life with what you truly value. I offer both in-person sessions in my Bend, Oregon office and video-conference sessions to clients throughout the world.

Online Courses

The interactive online courses​ allow you to actively participate via online video conference for personalized guidance and support to unfold the things you seek regarding relationship in your life.  A topic is presented and you are invited to share your understanding or challenges with it. You can share how it feels to you, and receive personalized guidance to allow insight and understanding.

Workshops & Classes

The intensive workshops walk you through a complete transition and rite-of-passage into a new way of being. They utilize sharing circles, ceremony, and meditation to directly experience your truth and what you truly value.  
The weekly classes provide ongoing guidance and support for various practices such as meditation in order to build and integrate them into your life.

Unexpected Transitions and Windows of Clarity 
March 14, 2018
An unexpected transition occurs when something happens that forces you to reevaluate and change your life. When things are going well, there is little incentive to make personal change. But then life happens. Just when you think your life is stable, something upsets your apple cart.  Suddenly, you find yourself navigating a divorce, career change, or family crisis. While such transitions may be disorienting, they create a window of openness to reevaluate your life.   Read more.
 “This strength shows itself in uncompromising truthfulness (within him/herself). It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are, without any sort of self-deception or illusion, that a light will develop out of events, by which the path to success may be recognized.”
~ I Ching, approx. 1050 BC (Wilhelm Baynes, 1967, p. 25)
