Consult and create the life you want…

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.Maria Robinson, author

Consultation steps out of the medical model of traditional psychotherapy. Consultation with individuals and couples provides a venue for clients to freely explore their passions, interests, and questions at their own pace and for their own purpose. Placing a high value on personal relationship and professional development, clients build on current skills, expand ideas, and participate in a synergistic/dynamic dialogue with sometimes unexpected and exciting results. Consultation is an active and engaged sharing — opening possibilities in the present to the future you imagine. Consultation includes:

Viewing clients as naturally creative, resourceful and whole
Focusing on evolving and manifesting potential
Emphasizing solutions – maintaining a present and future orientation
Does not include diagnosis or treatment (may offer referrals as needed)

Pre-Marital/Commitment Preparation

The joy of co-creating intimate partnership begins with the mystery of soul-meeting-soul – the ways the two of you are drawn together and bond, the ways you’re similar and bring out the best in each other. As time goes on, you’ll conflict and step apart – developing a dance of individuation – and learn to hold on to your independent selves in the face of intimacy/partnership. Learning to successfully navigate your unique differences, disappointments, conflicts and fears opens spaciousness for growing closer, deepening intimacy…gaining confidence in the power of forgiveness and love – supporting the wholeness of relationship.

Intimate Partnership Repair

Unexpected outcomes take many forms…perhaps you and your partner/spouse are responding very differently to a challenge in your relationship – a personal loss, a job change, a health challenge. Or perhaps the two of you have finally “hit the wall” on the level of stress and don’t know what to do or where to go for relief? You might feel like there’s an imbalance in power impacting decision making, financial management, and family direction. Relationship repair can give you a chance to “right the ship” and move into the future with new skills and recognition of what you need from each other going forward.

Betrayals that fundamentally change the course of our lives are often met with powerful feelings such as anger/rage, failure, loss, fear, anxiety and panic. Finding a way through the onslaught of emotion, crisis of change, loss of relationship as we’ve known it has enormous potential for growth and relationship strengthening. Whether you stay together or use this crisis as an indication to separate, gaining clarity and direction helps set a course for a better future.

Creative Change Consultation

Finding your place in the “flow” of life, bringing words and intention to your “calling”, speaks directly to the heart of your creative potential. You may feel it; consulting helps make it happen. Anytime you hope to examine your course — set off in a new direction — build skills, explore business/career, psychological, spiritual, or healthy living practices, consulting helps with meaningful path-finding.
