Shadow Lantern Counseling, Colorado Springs, CO
In our work together, the best magic* happens when I become a partner in your evolving process of personal healing and growth. In choosing to work with me, you allow me into your internal world — of hopes and fears, desires and aversions, habits, conflicts, and traumas both ancient and new. I have skills and expertise developed over many years, but I see myself as a fellow-traveler on the journey to self-knowledge, and my role with you is to observe, comment, encourage, and challenge you to realize your personal development goals.
* It is like magic when a changed perspective suddenly opens up new possibilities, hope and confidence.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness-based Therapy
Mindfulness simply means paying attention on purpose, and can be thought of as training in the mental skills of attention, focus, and concentration. These foundational skills allow people to pay attention to their emotional response in a given situation without reacting . . .
Art
Art Therapy
A world of self-discovery, healing and growth awaits you in the creative process of art making. Art uncovers and reveals the hopes and dreams, fears and desires that drive thoughts and behavior. It gives gentle and insightful guidance for moving beyond perceived limitations . . .
Spiritual Foundations
At Shadow Lantern Counseling, our work is rooted in an understanding of the spiritual nature of all beings and our interconnectedness with all life. The symptoms that bring people into counseling often indicate a lack of internal or external connection and harmony. We work with clients to repair and restore the connections that are essential to personal wholeness and meaningful relationships.
We provide a safe setting for healing of religious trauma, and encourage clients of all backgrounds to explore and develop their spiritual grounding.
