Welcome - so glad you're here!


 

I'm not sure what home is like for you.

 

Maybe your home feels overwhelming and chaotic, perhaps sparse and lonely, or possibly somewhere you just don't want to be.  Maybe home today feels better than home in the past, but it's hard to forget the past.  Maybe as a helping professional, you are trying to create "home" for your clients but find yourself burned out, discouraged or simply lost.

 

 

 

Even though I don't know what home is like for you now or then, I do know that we all long for "home:"  a safe, secure, thriving place full of real life.

 

My mission is to be with parents and partners, kids and adults, and other helping professionals, as we discover a new "home" together:  creating a safe place where we can pull apart the patterns that have left us stuck and hopeless, rebuild and restore what has been broken and lost, and experience wholeness in all areas of life, from which we can welcome and care for others.

 

I'd love to work together to rebuild and restore your home.

With you and for you,

Alair
