Would you like to deepen your meditation practice? The biggest challenge most of us face is to accept that this moment is "like this". When we encounter experiences that we don’t like, our deeply conditioned tendency is push them away. If we are touching a hot stove top, that makes sense. When we are encountering a difficult mental or emotional state, it can be counterproductive. Mindfulness practices can turn pain into something that heals rather than is a causes suffering. This day of practice provide intervals of sitting, walking, and mindful movement. Info: https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=9bPJ7b

Would you like to free yourself from patterns that lead to stress, conflict, and/or withdrawal from life? Are you feeling reactive or shut down in dealing with anger, fear, and/or sadness? Are you dissatisfied with life and do not know why? Having the courage to admit that things are not going well is the first step to changing them. My mindfulness-based approach supports you in being less identified with habitual ways of thinking and feeling that can keep you stuck in patterns that no longer work. I have helped many clients learn to be less reactive and more compassionate with themselves and others. My groups (classes) have space.
As a certified Facilitator in Brene' Brown's Daring Way(tm) and Rising Strong,(tm) programs, I can guide you through a process of learning to live a more courageous, authentic, and wholehearted life. This program will include specific ways in dealing with issues such as shame and fear that keep you from being authentic with others. These programs help you own your feelings, acknowledge your needs, and tell your truth, your story. Meetings will be held on a weekly and/or 3 day intensive basis.

Life is a journey! Do you feel overwhelmed, distressed, disconnected or lost, is your life hard to navigate. I believe that compassionate, reflective therapy can help restore vitality and renew hope. Individuals, couples, children/families, experience emotional struggles and challenging behaviors because of the impact of a variety of past and present variables, not because of weakness. Symptoms/Behaviors are simply indicators of need, and actually illuminate innate strength that guides healing. I'mabout collaborating with you to build strengths, explore barriers to enjoyment of life, and create a joyful resilience.

I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.
This free support group is for adults who have an eating disorder or body image issues who are at least 18 years old. It is guided by a therapist from A Better Way Counseling Center. It is a time to share information and get support in an educational format from other people who have similar struggles. In the support group we often touch on ideas, feelings, beliefs, processes, and experiences, however the support group is not therapy and it is not the time to delve deeply into personal emotions. Please see our website for more information and for location and times.

Welcome. I approach therapy as a collaborative and respectful process to help individuals, couples, and families learn new, adaptive ways to relieve emotional distress from anxiety or depression, illness, loss, grief, and trauma, therefore, becoming much more empowered and successful in their lives. In couples therapy, partners learn to manage and repair conflict, improve sexual intimacy, recover from betrayal, and enhance trust and friendship. Family therapy creates healthy patterns, routines, and behaviors to improve and heal maladaptive family dynamics and learn respectful and loving ways to communicate more successfully.
For those who have had individual psychotherapy and would like to continue with an integrated spiritually oriented therapy group.

At times life can be difficult. We can encounter obstacles that prevent us from reaching our full potential for living the life we want. Any one of us can use help at times managing the challenges that come our way. It's not easy to ask for help! By seeking out and exploring options, for doing just that, you show the strength and courage needed to make the changes that will help guide you into a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Group therapy is a unique environment in which a group of people come together to both give and receive help from one another. If group members can completely understand and work out their relationships with the other group members, there will be an enormous carryover into their "real life." They will discover pathways to more rewarding relationships with significant people in their life now and with people they have yet to meet. What happens in the group mirrors life, but now with an opportunity to achieve a different outcome.

You have found your way to my profile because you are seeking relief— from body dissatisfaction and chronic dieting, anxiety, or from feeling exhausted of chasing perfection and always playing by the "rules" of life. On the outside your life may appear totally put together, but deep down you are yearning to feel more deeply connected to yourself and others. I commonly work with young and mid-life adults who are navigating challenges with perfectionism, food and body issues, and gender and sexuality related concerns.
