NEW PHASES OF LIFE
As evolving persons we can seize the moment to manifest a new project, to focus with dedication on new goals.
Together we can create a strategy that feels empowering that creates new levels of clarity and accomplishment in important endeavors.
CAREGIVING ROLE DURING AGING OR ILLNESS
Sudden caregiving for elder parent
or family members, can cause huge disruptions in our lives and long term crisis.
We are often thrust into new roles, and new communication patterns
with our partners, our parents, our siblings, our children.
Together we can stay focused on immediate demands and new communication patterns. We can create calming routines.
PARENTHOOD
In the different stages of parenthood we are constantly shifting, clarifying and prioritizing our responsibilities.
Together we can develop ways to ensure we keep centered while focusing on the demands of family and on unexpected scenarios. We can strive to celebrate present moments.
EXHAUSTION
Changes can cause sleepless nights and constant worry and overwhelm.
Together we can address ways to offer care to self, to solve problems in a non-adversarial way, to lessen stress.
CREATIVE FOCUS
When we aspire to pursue a creative art - a visual or performance art, a writing focus - we create new projects.
Together we can establish a successful routine that allows for productive joyful creativity and that allows for maintaining boundaries, deadlines and enthusiasm.
CONFUSING TIMES
As evolving people we find ourselves suddenly with an empty nest, or conversely with adult children at home. We may have recently retired or relocated.
Together we can create a strategy that allows for exploration, for unfolding in new ways that gratifies, enriches and supports our whole being.
A common thread through all my work has been my desire to protect integrity, to encourage a pause that allows for reinvigoration and thoughtful solutions, to think outside the box in planning and creating new projects, to resolve conflicts.
