• Through play therapy, we help children develop a solid foundation of warmth and security.  Whatever their struggles, play is their natural language, and when met with compassion and understanding, they find their way to healing.

• At the other end of the spectrum, since connection and purpose are the keys to health of brain, mind, and body as we grow older, we facilitate groups for seniors to find deep, ongoing connection and explore ways to maintain purpose in the world.  These groups focus on attachment and aim at stimulating action toward a meaningful life, regardless of the challenges that age may present.

• Sometimes there is a need for individual time to share stories and heal wounds as a prelude to moving forward into meaningful senior life, and a compassionate counselor can provide the safety and understanding to move through emotional pain.

"I believe that a core component of ongoing health and longevity lies in the power of sustained intimacy, attachment, and learning.  It is the power of being with others that builds, shapes, and sustains our brains.  The best overall environment for a healthy aging brain is one that optimizes challenge and maximizes attachments."
