My Approach to Helping
Being human is hard. Like a seed landing on concrete, we don't have much control over the early parts of our life. We make due with what we are taught and what is available, and learn to cope. Sometimes these early conditions mean we grow into patterns that are hard to keep up and life seems harder than it should be. You might be looking around at others, frustrated and confused: "Why aren't they struggling as much as I am?"
You are definitely not alone in this, and you don't have to shoulder it alone. If it feels doable, trusting another person to understand where you're coming from and where you'd like to be going can make a huge difference. I have years of experience and practice working with stuck patterns and confusing feelings.
My approach is insight-oriented. It is both gentle and direct. Together we work to understand your experience with new depth and clarity. That insight helps us craft and practice new patterns of thought and action that nurture the kind of life you want to live. That might seem like a lot, but like any journey, we'll get through it a step at a time. I am genuinely honored to see the gradual and sustained growth in the people I work with.
