I work collaboratively with people to help them create the lives they want -- in their relationships, families, recreation and work. This process of exploration and discovery is inspiring and taps into hopes, dreams and imagination through story and re-connecting and remembering memories and experiences of connection and joy in their lives. Clients who benefit most from working with me are usually bright, creative and interested in freeing themselves from the constraints of family, social and cultural expectations that have become internalized and held as truths. This is a way of finding your way home ... to where your heart is. Specialty issues: grief and loss, life transitions, rebuilding life after divorce or separation, couples issues, non-drug approaches to managing anxiety and depression, mind-body-spirit wellness. A favorite narrative saying of Jane's: The person is never the problem. The problem is the person's relationship with problems. A strong influence in my work is Buddhist philosophy. My formal educational training is a master's degree and licensure in counseling and marriage and family therapy. I've also done 12 years of post-licensure training in narrative therapy, which is the most important influence on my work.
