CREATIVITY COUNSELING...hourly rate
Creativity in life and work go hand in hand at any age. Work with my techniques to solve problems, realize your potentials, and access an ever-flowing stream of ideas and intuitions. An Intensive Journal consultant for 20 years and author of nine books, I have been much honored for my work. The United Nations once honored me a “Most Remarkable Woman” for my work in writing and depth psychology.

My experience includes:
* Nine books with such publishers as Putnam, Random House, Atheneum, W.W. Norton, Shambhala. Stories and articles have appeared in such magazines as Harper’s, Ms., Book Forum, New Age, and Camera 35. I have made many radio and television appearances.
