Yes, here I am living in San Miguel de Allende, but I am available to counsel you Online using Zoom!
It my calling to support you in cultivating awareness and practices to heal into your wholeness. I am a highly-experienced guide to compassionately, insightfully and pro-actively assist you in embracing your light, as well as pulling back the veil to safely explore your shadow. My work with clients holistically offers practical support for radical self-care of your mind and body, spiritual and emotional well-being. Let's create some spaciousness by empowering you to let go of that which no longer serves you to embrace and manifest your current heart's desires.
Carefully observing which way my heart and intellectual curiosity were drawn, I have enjoyed decades of counseling with consummately professional colleagues of diverse sexual, political and cultural backgrounds, and clients who have been exquisite teachers. My graduate training and thousands of supervised hours as a Clinical Psychotherapist were in downtown San Francisco, California where I lived for over 20 years. Then, seven years with a private counseling practice (individuals and couples), guest bookings at numerous retreats and teaching weekly studio Hatha Yoga classes in the beach town of Sayulita, Mexico until 2019. Moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. just in time for COVID, so for the past few years I've effectively adapted my online counseling practice to reach across the miles internationally on Zoom. Recently with vaccines, have started to enjoy clients in my home studio again.
My life-long work as an Integrative Psychotherapist, Community Mental Health Program Director, Organizational Training Specialist, Conference Speaker, Hospice Program Director, University Educator, and Retreat Group Specialist evolved over the decades to include Yoga Therapy, Crystal Bowl Sound Healing, Meditation, Home Altars, Journaling, and Intuitive Work with Goddess Archetypes in my professional offerings. All have contributed to my own healing process and are on offer to you. So please contact me for a complimentary 30 minute interview to discuss how I might work with you for individual or couples' counseling.
