Welcome! We are here for people like you. We know there is really nothing “wrong” with any of us, but there are ways that we all struggle with living the fullest life we can and embracing our full humanity. We provide you with depth-oriented mind-body centered counseling and psychotherapy for all life and career concerns; guiding you through self discovery and empowerment to improve your relationship with yourself and the world.
Who can benefit from counseling and psychotherapy?
We work with individual adults of all genders, couples, and families from adolescence into elder-hood, meeting you where you are, guiding you on your journey back to wholeness and happiness.
Nobody exists outside of some relationship, so we also offer experiential groups and workshops to help you learn and practice changing your relationships in real time here and now.
We have several therapists on staff to help you find the right fit.
What do we work with in counseling and psychotherapy?
Sometimes we think we have a label for it, like stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity questions, relationship or marriage problems, communication issues, grief and loss, addictions, disconnect from our emotions, anger, self-image, our careers, feeling stuck in a rut, shame, body image, a harsh self critic, struggles with sexuality, life transitions (career, divorce, graduation)…the list is endless. But these are just labels for normal life experiences that keep us from feeling, experiencing, and expressing our complete and whole self. We help people break free of their labels and roadblocks, not be defined by them.
To guide you on your journey, we offer individual counseling, relationship counseling, and a variety of short term and long term therapy groups.
We also offer training and supervision for for both new and experienced therapists looking to grow in the field.
How do we work together in counseling and psychotherapy?
Our approach is mindfulness-based, experiential, honest, compassionate, and inclusive of the transpersonal, helping you explore and discover the parts of you that are in the way of you seeing and being who you really are. We don’t just talk! You could talk to anybody for free. We guide you to be aware of and experience what is already happening inside you and how to work with your inner and outer experience, which is much more effective than just talking about problems. Our team has extensive training and experience in both evidence based practices such as CBT/DBT/ACT which are very useful skills to have for short term work as well as longer term depth oriented practices such as the Hakomi Method of Experiential Psychotherapy, Ecopsychology, Dream Work, Ego State (Parts) work, ritual, and Jungian Psychology. All of these modalities are integrated and used in a way to take you beyond talk and bring you deeper into your mind and body – deeper into fully knowing and loving yourself.
We greatly value the in person human experience. And we know that sometimes it is helpful to meet remotely. Sessions are offered both in person and via secure HIPAA compliant video meeting, aka telehealth depending on your need. Sessions are also available outside depending on your need, privacy needs, and scheduling alignment.
When should someone call for counseling or psychotherapy?
We all have varying levels of suffering which can be caused by life events such as transitions, relationships, or just everyday life with a desire for things to be different. Most of us try to work through this on our own. You don’t need to wait until it is overbearing to benefit from a little help through counseling or therapy. Call or email us today. We will meet you where you are and help you to grow into the life you know you can be living.

You may be thinking, “Inner Life Adventures seems like an unusual name for a counseling/therapy practice.” Well, you are right! We are a different kind of practice. First, the most unusual part, Adventures shows how we look at everything from a positive viewpoint. When adventuring, we face the unexpected, we face challenges, and we have new and beautiful experiences; it is all part of the journey. The journey of how we approach counseling – seeing it as self exploration and growth – is an adventure, not a problem or burden. Inner Life comes from our focus on mindfulness and study of our internal world. When we are paying attention to our inner life throughout our day, we become aware of so much happening that it really is an adventure! If you are ready to experience your life fully and break free from limiting patterns, you have found the right place. Every adventure worth pursuing is made easier with a guide or facilitator. When you are ready for one, we’ll be here for you. We invite you to embark on your own Inner Life Adventure.
