Are you alive, but not fully living? Do you depend on things you look forward to but dread others, without a sense of sustained contentment and meaning? Sometimes we feel a lack of core vitality when we are not guided by our values. Some build their whole lives on "should's", (eg. should be a manager, have kids, etc), expectations that reflect cultural priorities, without getting to know themselves enough to center their own unique passions, large and small. I will help you identify & center your core values, so that you can make practical changes to your lifestyle to reflect those values and relax into a life of meaning & joy.
Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Art Therapy and Sandplay Therapy, and my own mindfulness/savoring practice, I can help you learn about your values and how to stay connected to them, learn to live with mindful awareness and take in the meaning it can bring every day, and make the kind of life choices that reflect values rather than "should's."
As my 50's loom, I'm looking at my life as it is and what I want it to be as middle age continues to unfold and elderhood approaches. I'm looking at where my lifestyle aligns with my values and where there are gaps. We all want to live our best lives. Let me help you find your gaps and fill them in with true connection to YOUR sources of meaning and joy.

Groups
Online Support Group for Women Grieving Moms
This virtual peer support group is designed especially for motherless daughters seeking meaningful ways to mourn and grow through grief in an intimate community of friends who "get it." The expressive arts are a powerful way to express grief, join others who are mourning, & honor & connect with those we've lost. We'll do a variety of creative activities together & in between sessions--no experience or skill needed! really!--to move through loss consciously and in community. We are not here to make good-looking art or write eloquent poetry, just express ourselves, grieve meaningfully, & maybe even have some fun.
