My fee for couples, for either Couples Therapy or Holistic Relationship Coaching is $220 for a 75 minute session. *I also have options for shorter sessions at a reduced cost*.

I can also provide a receipt for reimbursement from your health insurance provider for individual or couples psychotherapy sessions.
I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation so feel free to call and talk to me first. You want to know that we will be a fit, as far as scheduling needs and with my particular style of therapy/philosophies. A therapist who is a good fit can usually help you more efficiently than a therapist who is not as good of a fit. You can always meet with two or three different therapists and then decide who is the best for fit for you. Sometimes, but not always, you know after the first session that you were meant to do some healing work with a particular counselor.
Services Offered:
Couples Counseling/Conscious Love -Romantic love is an arena for profound healing and growth if we can learn to embrace the times of suffering as opportunities for this growth: Learn how to cultivate emotional and sexual intimacy through Conscious love: Learn how to bring softening and compassion into your communication in order to overcome rigid patterns of conflict; Learn how to rebuild trust; Learn how to circumvent emotional reactivity when you are triggered. Because romantic love invokes the same depth of emotionality as our relationship with our parents, we trend to project our unresolved wounds form our parents to our partner. With the primal drive to attach and connect with our partner comes the unconscious fear of abandonment or engulfment. Therefore, romantic love has the potential to bring up our core wounds around theses deep, primal fears.
Soul work/Ascension Counseling- This typically becomes part of the process if not the primary component of the process for most of my clients. It is just the time that we are in! There is a leveling up into a higher realm of consciousness happening to humanity, and change is challenging for even those of us who are the most inspired by this idea. So we will dive into a variety of pathways that will allow your own Soul/Higher Self guidance to become more decipherable to you. This will allow you to become empowered in our work together to eventually be your own best healer. Ascension is unique to each individual, and involves integrating your emotions, using mindfulness and somatic techniques, identifying and overcoming patterns that hold you back, and learning how to trust yourself to always keep growing as you come into complete self acceptance, regardless of any setbacks or resistance that you may encounter on the journey. Humanity is learning how to embrace the Divine Feminine. Indeed, as we birth into the Age of Aquarius, which is the Age of Intuition, we are also learning how to step out of the limitations of patriarchy and linear thinking that have crippled us for the past 2,000 years. These patterns can run deep, but I am here to help create shifts in your consciousness to get you out of stuck places as well as to help empower you to learn the way of going inward, asking your soul/higher self for guidance, and taking action. Once you have enough practice with this, those neurons become wired in and it gets much easier to do completely on your own!
Embracing Your Shadow – Inspired by Carl Jung and David Richo, my process with shadow work similarly involves learning how to embrace the darker aspects of your nature that can sabotage you if you deny them or empower you if you accept and counsel them. You will find that in the embrace of your shadow your core gifts will become accessible and your light will shine through all that darkness. I also incorporate Thomas Moore’s philosophy of learning to live through one’s soul and crafting ones own spiritual path/religion by letting one’s soul be the determiner of what suits your own individual desires and needs.This is where the fun and creativity begin and you stop thinking of this as therapy, and embrace it as your own unique soul journey, or higher self vision. Shadow work is essential for conscious love. For it is about removing the veils that have been cast over you for decades due to some normal expression of excitement or anger that annoyed or triggered someone in your life, and subsequently, they shamed you and made you question the very essence of your being. You might have been a passionate child, with full expressions of anger and love. Yet what happens if you are shamed for even your healthy expressions of anger? Your anger goes underground and festers in your unconscious, taking you out of that center of loving-kindness that is your most powerful, loving, authentic self. Your shadow contains not only the aspects of yourself that you are challenged by, but the jewels in the rough of your higher, most authentic self.

There is a leveling up into a higher realm of consciousness happening to humanity, and change is challenging for even those of us who are the most inspired by this idea. So we will dive into a variety of pathways and practices that will allow your own Soul/Higher Self guidance to become more decipherable to you. This will empower you while allowing all of the areas that we are working on together to transform much more quickly and effectively. Ascension is a non-complicated, intuitively driven process that is unique to each individual. It involves using mindfulness and somatic techniques to integrate your emotions, identify any patterns that are holding you back or sabotaging your growth, and loving all of it. Humanity is learning how to embrace the Divine Feminine. Indeed, as we birth into the Age of Aquarius, which is the Age of Intuition, we are also learning how to step out of the shackles of patriarchy that have crippled us for the past 2,000 years. These patterns tend to run deep. Therefore we must learn to accept that they are affecting us, love and accept ourselves in spite of this. Then we commit to a practice of going inward, asking our soul/higher self for guidance, and taking action.
Alcohol or other Substance Abuse or Addiction recovery – (For the individual or couple). This is a process of healing, self-monitoring, developing a new system with mindfulness and a support plan. The key here is understanding the pattern, and/or the aspect of your persona that is driving the addiction: is it a drive to reward yourself, to escape or numb yourself, to connect to the Divine, to hurt yourself, to avoid intimacy. How old is the aspect of you who began this pattern? What is the protocol that will work for you? For some it is abstinence, for others it is harm reduction, reducing the occurrence, and making sure that it only happens mindfully and minimally. I am supportive of the 12 step process and I am supportive of those who prefer not to use the twelve step process.
Conscious Parenting: This is where it all starts: Even if you’re not a parent, learning about conscious parenting will allow you to reflect more deeply on your inner child wounds and begin the journey of loving, and healing, yourself at the deepest level. We all began to gather wounds to our psyches as we came into the world as beings of light and love only to be bounced around by our fear based culture and the blind spots, unkempt shadow work, and projections from our parents, siblings, peers, teachers, and other impressionable people in our lives. Conscious parenting allows us to foster a deeper, loving relationship with our children while allowing their self-esteem to blossom.
Parenting Your Emerging Adult and/or Adult Children – I work with parents who these days might very well be living with their emerging adult and/or adult children, helping them to have more conscious, mutually empowering relationships with one another. I offer family sessions that empower both you and your adult child to maintain a strong, loving connection through what I call “Nurturing talks.” Nurturing talks allow us to lovingly set healthy boundaries while consciously stepping out of the energetic realm of the toxic authoritarian parenting constructs that we as parents were most often raised in to varying degrees.

Therapists and Interns – As therapists we have usually done some of our own therapy and healing work. However, many of us have not yet had the opportunity to heal at the deepest level – that of the soul. It is always an honor to support my fellow healers on their soul journey; I provide a very empowering, collaborative process that tends to offer immediate relief. It is about stepping into your larger self living your life through your soul’s vision.
Child abuse recovery for the adult or adolescent survivor– (physical, sexual, verbal, emotional)
Abandonment Trauma -(help with abandonment trauma through mindfulness, inner child healing, and somatic techniques)
