Something has called you inward. You already have good coping skills, but what you need now is to turn toward your feelings, not away. What interests you is the slow, creative work of unfurling. You are creating new rituals or traditions, learning how to say "no", reconnecting with craft, or getting to know yourself in a new phase of life. I focus on grief in all its forms, including death loss and cumulative life-transition losses. I tend to be a strong fit for reflective, verbal, and emotionally curious folks who want a depth-oriented space to explore their inner world, process emotions, and make meaning of their experiences.
The poet Natalie Diaz writes: "Rather than try to escape my griefs, I’m trying to recognize them as a wildness I can submerge myself in, to be washed clean by the very thing that aches me so deeply." This is the kind of invitation I offer. This grief cannot be packaged into nice, neat stages. It's a non-linear tale that's as long as life is long.
I have seen that turning toward emotion can be a freeing act. Let's talk about the hard parts. With chronic suppression comes reduced capacity to engage with the world. Given that energy back, what would you do with it?

My work is relational, experiential, and insight-focused rather than skills-driven, so I'm not the best fit for clients primarily seeking tools, symptom management, or highly structured behavioral treatment. I work best with clients who are curious, collaborative, and interested in building a genuine therapeutic relationship.
