Individual Coaching
“I never could have imagined how working with a coach could make such a difference in my life. I progressed more in a few simple coaching sessions with Ricka than I did in years of counseling.”

“You really have a gift of reading and understanding the undercurrents. You bring my attention to things I might feel intuitively, but don’t consider, or that I zoom over. It is important to pay attention, I have learned.”

Restorative Family
Circles
Families in conflict often find themselves shutting down and pulling apart, which can feel overwhelming and extremely painful. I work with families who have experienced complex trauma, who are not speaking to one another, who need to make difficult decisions together, or heal before a member of the family dies. I work with families in Circle over 8-12 sessions to strengthen safety, connection, and acceptance within the family system. Working in Circle format provides space to hear and be heard, to see and be seen, and to know and be known by others in the family without risking judgment, denial, deflection or minimization.
Restorative Family Circles can support change in areas such as these…
-
When a family blows up and members refuse to speak to one another
-
Imminent death of a family member and family healing is desired
-
Family business conflicts
-
Family foundation conflicts
Sessions are 1.5 hours long, confidential and HIPAA protected.
"I felt supported and safe enough to hear those things that I had not been able to hear, to speak with a love I had been too wounded to speak, and that opened up the space for unbelievable repair."
