You’re an awakened woman in midlife…yet you feel alone and long for a real sense of purpose. It’s taken you 40+ years of life to awaken to the realization that personal accomplishments—career, family, relationships, spiritual seeking—are not enough to give you a true sense of purpose. There has to be something more. Let’s work together like archaeologists to unearth the gem that is your true self. Together, we’ll brush off the decades-old soil of unhealthy relational habits, negative self-talk, funky boundaries, and self-doubt, so that you can step into your purpose in life—supporting younger generations by living as your true self.
I hold a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, an MFA in Creative Writing, certifications in Transformational Life Coaching and Clinical Hypnotherapy. My shamanic training is from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I have a long career in the arts—writing/acting—which informs my work with other creatives. My podcast is available at selftalkpodcast.com.
Worried about getting locked into long-term therapy? I offer single sessions of 30- and 50-minute lengths so that you can receive the benefit of therapy at your own pace. Reach out for a free phone consultation or book your single session on the Work With Me page on the website.
