Safe, Confidential Counseling

Are you feeling blah, finding yourself withdrawing from people and talking trash to yourself?

You have many responsibilities that usually you can manage with grace and creativity.

You face many management pressures and sometimes unfair judgments from those around you who don’t appreciate your need to be in control - sometimes making unpopular decisions. They offer criticism because it does not suit their agenda while you are looking at the big picture, making things work long-term for everybody. You wish those who have no clue what you do on an average day would just be quiet. If the answers were easy, you would sleep better at night and feel more peaceful.

I help those in charge find paths to ways to survive and thrive, solve their own challenges and make decisions that will serve them best in their ability to care for their teams, businesses, and families. I listen and let you guide me to what you need to feel better. I know that I do not have your answers. This is a safe place to feel and explore what is really important to you, discover the importance of self-care, and develop ways to get your own needs met more often.

I get it, because I too, took care of my family of three kids while running my own electrical contracting business for 19 years while caring for my aging parents. In the 1970’s being a female electrician was novel and at times - trailblazing in a very unfriendly environment. Balancing my responsibilities kept me hopping and reordering my priorities. I found that it was necessary to have time to restore. Activities that I could be passionate about in addition to my employment and home activities seem impossible yet so necessary for my well-being.  When my kids were bigger, I went back to school to gain degrees in teaching and counseling. I have enjoyed helping people achieve their goals, and feel that they - however unique or difficult their circumstances are - can benefit by gaining support and understanding. I find that this safe space with kind support, allows a person to flourish and make the choices that let them thrive. I help by listening carefully, often providing tools and skills that have served others well.
