The Examined Life practice was born out of the ancient tradition of individuals walking alongside a trusted companion to practice the sacred art of self-examination and reflection that empowered them to change and grow. As a clinician, it has been my joy to work with individuals who are looking to better themselves with the realization that healthier individuals, lead to healthier communities. Often people come to this work at pivotal stages in life: stepping into adulthood, considering a job change, starting a family, taking on more responsibilities or leadership roles in their workplace, community, or faith setting, or simply out of a curiosity of wanting to understand why they do what they do and how they can practice doing it differently.
I offer counseling to adult individuals looking to take a deep dive into their own life, starting at the beginning, working our way to the present and into the future. As a holistic therapist, we will address all aspects of life - social, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, in order to live and lead from a more integrated and whole self. These sessions are offered online and are available only to residents in the State of Oregon.
I also offer coaching to older teens or young adults, who are athletes or competitors and are looking to improve their mental performance. Coaching sessions are available online at this time.
* If doing this work interests you, I offer a free 15 min phone consultation to answer any questions you may have and to see if we are a good fit. Simply email me at the link above to request a consultation.
