Many of us learn early on that our belonging in this world depends on our ability to banish aspects of ourselves that cannot be safely held by others. We skillfully fold and shrink ourselves into the shapes that allow us to survive, sometimes with great reward for doing so, but find that our deepest longings go unmentioned and unmet. I am here to hold space for those parts which are too big, too unbearable to be held alone, so that my clients can expand in ways that help them contact their feelings, connect to their desires, and begin to find a home in the world.
I work with individuals living with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and isolation. I specialize in working with people employed in the helping professions who are experiencing burnout in their work, and the perfectionism, shame, and boundary issues that often emerge in helping work. I also work well with men's issues and struggles with masculinity.
Our work together will be centered on presence, embodied meaning, and relationship. I tend to be playful, compassionate, and direct in session, and try to balance the inherent seriousness of the work with tender appreciation for the lightness in us all.
