Evolving Ourselves and Our World
Is there an issue, struggle, or fear that’s keeping you from being your fullest, authentic self… health-related, mental or emotional, relationship or career, spiritual? Do you desire to be more conscious and grow as a human being? Would you like more tools and skills for being resilient during these challenging times? If so, here you’ll find information, guidance, and evidence-based practices that will support you in making the changes you desire.
The counseling I provide enhances your ability to transform yourself and your life. You will be supported and guided in overcoming conscious and unconscious blocks to moving forward and making changes that last. This includes developing the skills to manage your mind, self-regulate your emotions, open your heart, and restructure your brain, all of which shift your consciousness and turn on your mind/body’s innate self-healing capacities and resourcefulness.
And, when we change and transform ourselves, we are better equipped to be agents of change and transformation in our world.
Not only do we all want to feel well and thrive, we want a world that promotes a healthy, sustainable and thriving way of life for all… what Charles Eisenstein calls “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”. Now, more than ever in recent history, doing our personal work is not enough. Our new consciousness needs to be embodied and put into action.
The current state of affairs in our world is mandating that we find our unique way of serving the greater good. We’re all hardwired for compassion and altruism; we just need to do the inner work to remove the blocks to our true nature and realize our inter-connectedness. Then find an issue or cause that touches our heart and contribute something to that more beautiful world. Activism is our deepest values and spirituality in action.
Integrative Psychotherapy
My passion is the integration of spirituality, psychology, and science. I offer a holistic approach to healing and well-being that addresses the mind, emotions, body, brain, and spirit. And, the new science in the fields of physics, epigenetics, and neuroscience is validating what the yogis, shamans, and mystics have been teaching for thousands of years, that everything is interconnected and that the mind, heart, and nature are essential to our health and well-being.
Learning Opportunities
Throughout my career along with my therapy, I have enjoyed being an educator and have provided psycho-educational offerings through teaching classes, facilitating groups, and presenting seminars at my workplace and in the community. As a lifelong learner myself, I appreciate the value of gaining new insights and perspectives. It expands our minds, enhances our ability to be critical thinkers, and gives us new strategies and tools to personally heal and evolve.
Resiliency in Troubled Times
Resiliency is defined as the capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt to adversity. This capacity reflects the amount of energy we have, especially emotional, to keep our “inner battery” charged. This applies to the normal stresses of daily living, major challenges, and the traumas, both personal and collective, we are facing in our world today. What’s more, there are resources, skills, and experiences that enable us to build our capacity for resilience.
Hello! I’m Eileen
Licensed Psychotherapist
Choosing social work as my career stemmed from my concern about social justice issues. Later as a clinical social worker I dove into the study of psychology and ultimately went into private practice which I’ve been doing for the past 20 years. On a personal note, I’ve been a spiritual seeker most of my adult life which led to my interest in Transpersonal Psychology and becoming certified as a yoga teacher. My other two loves are doing holotropic breathwork and being in nature which I do at every opportunity. My husband, Steve and I are living in Anacortes and are thrilled with the natural beauty that surrounds us here.

Navigating Global Change
My heart breaks for all I cannot save
The trees, the plants, the lichen in the cave
The earth, the water, along with the air
The wolf, the tiger, the elephant, and bear
How do we face what we don’t want to see?
Can we survive without the coral reef and bee?
Ecosystems unraveling before our very eyes
Must we not only be blind, but deaf to their cries?
How do we grieve for all that’s being lost?
First, remove the blinders to seeing the full cost
No clean water, fresh air or life-giving soil
In the face of the pain must we simply recoil?
In the midst of despair can we find hope?
Coming together is the best way to cope
Only in the heart can it all be held
The tide is to separate, but we need to meld
These times are hard and are getting worse
Can we see in it a blessing, not just a curse?
We must help one another right where we live
In daily acts whereby we love, serve, and give
Act and accept, be angry and at peace
Imagine a new Earth and with it a new lease
Know in our hearts the light and dark serve
And compassion is the key to beating the curve
