WELCOME HERE.
I’m an advisor
consultant
guide.
Come join me for a conversation…
I work with people all over the world offering 3 distinct services:
* Open-ended counseling via email
* Short-term guidance (2-6 sessions) using the I Ching
* Support for therapists and other providers
I help people make their path, clear brush that blocks their way, and find more joy on the journey.
In a world of self-help apps, AI chats, and Zoom meetings, I provide an old-fashioned way for a person to map their way — one word at a time, one thought at a time, in the space between two humans who are taking time to reflect.
Counseling by email
is more like a
walk in the woods or working in the garden, than having a rapid-fire live conversation. It’s more relaxing and easy on the nervous system.
Working with the I Ching
can be transformative, getting us unstuck quickly
and offering a new way forward.
If you…
then you might enjoy working with me!
For therapists and other providers, I offer case consultation and personal support for your work.
In addition to email and live conversation, I provide:
* tailored resources and actionable guidance you can pursue in your own time.
* custom audio practices and meditations.
* written I Ching readings and instruction for using the I Ching in your life.
“… but can you help with this?”
I can help you:
reduce daily stress responses
navigate life changes
finish creative endeavors
enhance mental and physical well-being
make difficult choices
re-vision your career
grow leadership capacities
engineer daily rhythms
build on personality strengths
address relationship and parenting challenges
improve communication with anyone
explore spiritual & philosophical questions
If you’re wondering how I can specifically help YOU, drop me a note.
In a free consult, I’ll let you know concretely how I will help you meet your goals.
* Please note: I’m a licensed psychotherapist (a healthcare provider) for residents of Maine only. If you live in Maine, please feel free to reach out to me to ask about psychotherapy. If you’re not in Maine and are seeking psychotherapy, please reach out to your doctor for referrals to a provider in your area.
