If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, you don’t have to sort it out alone.
A First Conversation
If Things Feel Heavy Right Now
If you’re here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure where to
turn. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to reach out. Sometimes life simply becomes too much to carry alone.
This page is an invitation to pause and consider whether steady, thoughtful support might help.
Who I Am
I am a retired psychotherapist and practicing life coach with 48 years of
experience helping people navigate despair, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions.
My work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience, and it is offered with respect, steadiness, and care.
How I Work
Our conversations are calm and paced. We focus on understanding what you’re
experiencing, noticing patterns that may be contributing to your distress, and finding steadier ways to respond over time.
There are no quick fixes and no pressure to change. The work is about clarity, stability, and support.
Practical Details
- One-on-one sessions
- Cash-only
- $50 per session
- Weekdays, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Working outside of insurance allows us to focus on you rather than paperwork or labels.
Is This for You?
This work is for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or in transition, and who want thoughtful support rather than surface solutions.
If you’re unsure, that’s okay.
Next Step
If this feels like it might help, you’re welcome to reach out for an initial conversation.
If it doesn’t feel right, I’m glad to help you think about other options.
You don’t have to decide anything right now.
But, when you’re ready for change, call me at (541) 325-2118. We can meet at my office in Madras, Oregon or online via Zoom.
