Elizabeths Counseling Practice
at High Valley
Companion at the Crossroads

Ordained as an interfaith minister and trained in counseling, I have been in private practice as a counselor since 1998.

I have a comfortable, welcoming office in the building next to the driveway, and in fair weather, sessions can also take place outdoors by the labyrinth and the lake, or on pilgrimage to the great mother oak tree you see on the side panels of High Valley’s web-pages.

This oak tree is my logo and my guide, the guardian and companion of the crossroads. My approach to counseling is as varied as the people who come to see me. I am always watching and listening for how each person connects with her or his own wisdom—or their wisdom. I frequently work with couples and families. Guided meditation, singing, laughing, drawing, divination, and storytelling are just a few of the ways we might work together as companions at the crossroads in the journey towards healing and joy.

Funeral services:

This year I have had the occasion to preside at three very different memorial and burial services. I found each gathering deeply moving. People are often surprised when I admit that I actually like memorial services. Why? Because people tell stories, and everyone gets a glimpse of wholeness, quirkiness, and beauty of the one who is being remembered. Death brings us face to face with life, and grief and love to open our hearts. It is an honor to be present at such a moment.
