"To remain vibrant throughout a lifetime, we must always be inventing ourselves, weaving new themes into our life narratives, remembering our past, re-visioning our future, re-authorizing the myths by which we live."

Sam Keen, author of The Passionate Life; Beginnings without End

Change is a variable we can expect to impact our lives. How we respond is crucial. Our passage from one stage of life to another demands creativity, commitment, endurance, energy, and a sense of humor. In my practice, I offer many ways to address these changes and help clients to evolve -- flexibly growing to meet desires, demands and needs in an active atmosphere of support, interest and curiosity.

We experience and confront problems together. Clients expand and deepen as they are ready to embrace new awareness and strengthen their abilities.

 

 

Let me point you toward the life you want to be living with creative tools for moving into exciting new growth areas.  I look forward to hearing from you.

LDS, New York, NY

"Natalie, you guide us in such a deep and skillful way...as we continue to meet together, our connections deepen and our dreamwork opens up new layers of possibility and meaning. I get so much out of our gatherings and am grateful for the opportunity to gather and plumb for self-understanding through exploration of stories and symbols and characters. There are always surprises for me and I emerge moved and changed."

Grace W., Red Hook, NY

"I highly recommend Natalie's dream workshops. Over and over I'm surprised at the impact of getting her input and encouragement to stay a little longer, look a little closer, give my feelings space to develop. Natalie's guidance and the group's interest and support allows me and my dreaming to flourish in unexpected ways."
