Heart Confluence
  I work with adults with a broad range of concerns, with emphasis on the dynamics of trauma and intergenerational trauma, including anxiety, shame, depression, relationship issues, health-related concerns, addiction recovery and related family/partner issues, and concerns related to identity, meaning, purpose, and spirituality. I also welcome mystics, seekers, those experiencing spiritual awakening, and those encountering intuitive and paranormal phenomena.
I particularly appreciate working with those who are seeking an off-the-beaten-path perspective, and those for whom more conventional approaches haven’t been fully helpful.
My work, my intention, is a confluence of the heart, of inner and outer guidance, of the innate wisdom of the psyche and of the many traditions and practices that offer depth, clarity, acceptance.
Confluence: a point at which streams come together and emerge as a larger, deeper river; a point at which flows blend and redirect to become something greater.
