“I feel empowered and have a clear direction after our work together. I would pay double for this exposure and insight. . . . you now occupy a front row seat in my internal gratitude “auditorium” — Thank you so much for doing this work–and making it so matter of fact, devoid of shame, and FUN. I will see you again.” –B. K. Full Time Mother, Portland, Oregon
“Working with you stands at the top of some of the most challenging and rewarding work I have ever done. The way you worked with me allowed me to dive deep.

“Amazing! For an East Coast Skeptic, this was amazing to help on my journey of understanding myself. I gained an understanding of a particular problem I had.”
– L. J., NIH Researcher, Washington DC“I trust entering a group you facilitate because I know the safe experience you will create. I’m not sure exactly how you do it, but I know that you are conscious in your intention, fully present and lead by example. You build a group where we all know we are accepted and belong – it becomes “our” group.”- A. B. Hillsboro, Oregon
“I wanted to find someone to work with who is not so STUCK on the 12-step thing. I went to some meetings, but did not find them that helpful. But, I know I need to stop drinking. I do not want to go to some counselor who will just tell me the same stuff my parents do about how I am such a ‘screw-up.’” – KC, Tigard
“I learned how to communicate better with my wife and not be so passive with her so that later I ‘blew up’. Now, I am more honest with her so that I don’t hold so much resentment inside.” – Martin, Tigard
“We have promised each other to work toward finding someone who will help us continue own the path you’ve shown us and guided us along for the past months. Good News! When each of us started seeing you neither was sure that a good path existed – now we can commit to continuing on it. Growth!” – Melissa & David in Hillsboro
“You’ve given us a good map for regaining the joys of our relationship. We know the map is necessary, and also know it is not sufficient.” – Chris & Marty in Beaverton
“I am so inspired by your wealth of knowledge & resources, and love of people and life. You are continually encouraging. . . I have learned many lessons here with you and I am now able to deal with my good days and bad days. I have learned to slow down and take each day as it comes. I am able to speak the truth, live my life fully and to give thanks for each day. I am aware of my thoughts, feelings, connectedness to spirituality, family, friends, and our world.” – Frances in Tigard
