Boulder Journey Counseling

If you are visiting this web site, you are a person of courage and determination. Sometimes - oftentimes - it takes courage to say to ourselves, "something is not working for me in my life." If you are looking for someone to help you sort out just what isn't "working", you demonstrate determination to find the way to change whatever it is that needs changing. I believe that people can make lasting change at a core level. Such change is facilitated by the innate wisdom with which each of us is born and which guides the process toward our goals. My clients discover their ability to confront persistent depression and/or anxiety. They repair relationships that were missing authentic, loving connection. They learn to free themselves of behaviors engaged in to mask deeper issues, such as overworking, excessive substance use and anger. As the deeper issues are revealed, the possibilities expand for generating new choices. My method is eclectic. I have been strongly influenced by Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy. It is an approach that is non-hierarchical. It reframes the meaning of the word "authority." I use reflective listening, as it is of the utmost importance that my clients feel that they are deeply heard.
