We all have heard that the pre-frontal cortex is not fully developed until at least age 25. This lack of development can lead to impulsivity and lack of ability to discern action’s consequences.

In this day and age, it is rare to encounter a young person whom has not wrestled with anxiety and/or depression.

Here’s how we help:

We look at the whole person and work to develop healthy strategies to deal with overwhelm, shame, doubt, anxiety, depression, etc.

We work on goal-setting in all areas of life: social, emotional, mental, and physical. It helps to figure out strengths and abilities along with personality style through a myriad of assessments and questions and even games. The information we gather works as framework to inform goal creation and steps toward achievement.

We work to determine steps toward independence and self-responsibility.

We focus on small or big changes that can be made toward a fulfilling future.

We all go through many life transitions such as marriage, divorce, career change, having children, empty-nesting, caring for and/or death of an aging parent or loved one, and significant milestone birthdays.

These life events cause us to pause and re-evaluate life. We often need to process and share our stories in order to move through the current state to a new understanding.

I work specifically with women & non-binary individuals (approx. 30’s through 60’s), who are in the middle of it all! Career, child-raising, aging parents, financial decisions, maintaining a household, maintaining relationships with partner, friends, children, parents…

There is life as we know it and life as we want it. Are these out of sync for you?

We can do hard things! So says Glennon Doyle and practically every woman I have ever met. Being a woman typically comes with resilience and determination to do all the things, sometimes to the detriment of self.

How did women get sucked into the mentality that having it all means doing it all and how can we get out of it?

Did you grow up in a religious upbringing in which you no longer identify? Maybe there are parts that you want to keep and parts that you struggle to let go of, even if they no longer resonate.

Perhaps your childhood or early adulthood experience needs validated, heard, and processed before you can move on. Perhaps you had some really hard experiences or even trauma that needs to be worked through.

Space to heal. Space to figure out where to go from here.

Maybe you have already processed your childhood faith and are ready to find something new that resonates more with your life experience and perspective and you would like help navigating that.

As a former minister and director of religious education, with a master’s degree in theology, I understand the spectrum of religious experience and culture. I, myself, grew up in a very fundamentalist household and clung to that for a time in my search for what is good and true. But neither my childhood faith, nor the faith of my twenties, fit my lived experience.

The truth is, if we don’t live in bubbles, soon enough, any religious rigidity isn’t nuanced enough to contain our human experience. In my thirties, I developed a new form of faith expression and identity and have lived and grown further in that ever since.

I am about love and appreciation for your unique human experience and want to hear about it and help you make sense of it for today. There are pieces you may want to keep and pieces you may want to purge. There are new ways of resonating with the world, the divine, and the meaning of life. I am devoted, not to helping others find my truth. But to find theirs.
