It’s not just you, we’re all doing our best to deal with the stresses of modern life and it seems many of us are becoming increasingly overwhelmed. I companion adults who feel they are being stretched to the breaking point by one or more of those "bigger issues" in life that threaten our over-all wellbeing, if not our very existence: Identity, Isolation, Death, Meaning, Freedom, and Happiness. With a background in healthcare and advanced training in pastoral care and counseling, I’m going to respect and honor you as a person no matter what issues or troubles you bring with you into our conversations.
I am licensed in Illinois and Iowa. I specialize in supporting people coping with illness and disease, caregiver overload, death, dying, and bereavement, family crisis, relational conflict, burnout, career change, and life transition. I will also help you with the anxiety, depression, and distorted thoughts and emotions that accompany all of the above.
I consider the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. We'll explore what troubles you in the context of your community, culture, and the larger world. I'll help you develop insight and new coping skills, I’ll draw from the rich storehouse of the arts & humanities, and nature for sources of healing as we look for new pathways to a happier healthier you.
