Happenstance Counseling is based on a simple premise: within every person is a powerful force that wants to express itself and live in way that is joyously alive. My purpose as a counselor is to become an ally with this force and help bring it forward. I see you fully, support you and guide you to become the unique person you are meant to be.

Happenstance Counseling is a supportive, fun and practical form of guidance that can help you break out of your current routine and embrace new possibilities, such as:

• Transition to a more fulfilling career
• Establish a lifestyle that provides more flexibility and freedom
• Learn to follow your passion—or what you enjoy and are curious about
• Prioritize your time and simplify your life
• Have more loving relationships
• Express your spirituality and creativity within your daily life 

My approach to counseling is inspired by my friend and mentor, John Krumboltz. John is a professor of counseling psychology at Stanford University and one of the preeminent authorities in career guidance. Over the last four decades he has worked with thousands of people and found that satisfying lives and careers are usually not the result of planning, testing, and decision making. Instead, people establish satisfying lives through happenstance—by learning to initiate and benefit from unexpected opportunities. For a wonderful introduction to John’s work, you might want to look at his book “Luck is No Accident.”
