Life brings us to our limits, sometimes gently, sometimes painfully. I support adults and elders across all spectrums to investigate and navigate these forks in the road that push us to new territory. Whether you're in distress or seeking more insight, I am here to support you in 'understanding the assignment' and finding your way forward. Anxiety, panic, depression, alienation, grief, relational conflict may reflect myriad causes - biology, rigid thinking, social friction or oppression, trauma, identity distress, moral/spiritual dilemmas. "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." Leonard Cohen.
I work from a radically-accepting, humanistic POV to provide direct, empathetic feedback and relevant skills, selecting from therapies tailored to your priorities. We will look both inward and outward at what systems are impacting you, compassionately disarm the barriers we can, and develop resources and skills to empower your tenderest heart.
One of the most important factors determining the success of our work together will be the trust and rapport we develop, so please call for a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like a good fit. I'm looking forward to speaking with you.
