Mindful living, relief, strategies, shifted patterns, and living as your authentic self is in reach. Relationships, loss and grief, life and career changes, estrangement from loved ones, shame, neurodiversity or wanting to live a less conventional life can create anxiety, times of inner and outer disruption, and a need for support, clarity, and calm spaces. Pastoral Counseling is not about religion. It's wholistic care for your core self combined with more traditional counseling strategies. We step gently, kindly, curiously into your unique needs, concerns, goals, and values. Grow self-trust, feel connected, and clear.
We all have an inner wisdom that allows grounded information about who you are now, what you most value and need, and to sort the noise into a centered plan. Let's focus on what's going well, and what needs care or a tune-up - with your connected voice and pacing. There's a language beyond words leading to your sense of wholeness while healing soul wounds.
You are welcome as you are. In my 30 years of experiences and varied skills, I have many strategies to walk with you toward your goals as an individual, within your relationships, in times of grief, loss, burnout, disruption, or caretaking, and clarifying your next steps in feeling whole, grounded, connected. Contact me with questions or to schedule. Thanks.

Many of my clients feel "lighter" after our first session, and leave with a sense of clarity and a plan. From there we delve more deeply, collaborating on the story under the story to kindly address what is of most meaning and what your true self is asking of you in this time of your life. Here is where people develop a true, sustainable practice for lasting shifts, growth, change, understanding.
