What Our Work
Is Like

Most people don’t call me with a clear understanding of what’s happening.

Most people call because they’re in pain. Or afraid. Or confused.

They’re at the end of something or the beginning of something new, and they’re not quite sure where they are.

Sometimes, they’re not even sure who they are.

That’s okay.

You don’t have to understand what’s happening before we talk. You don’t need to organize your thoughts, make sense of your feelings, or figure out the right question.

A Place to Be Heard —
and to Hear Yourself.

You talk. I listen.

This may sound simple, but together we’re creating something important: a place where you can slow down, lay things out, and begin to see more clearly what is happening.

You can bring the whole of what you’re experiencing — the fear, the anger, the grief, the confusion, the contradictions, and the things you may be afraid to say out loud — and together, we’ll begin to make sense of it.

I’ll listen closely. I’ll ask questions. I’ll notice patterns and contradictions. I’ll help you separate the different strands of what you’re experiencing so we can begin to understand them more clearly.

Sometimes I’ll challenge an assumption.

Sometimes I’ll ask you to stay with something you would rather move past.

Sometimes we’ll discover that the problem you’ve been trying desperately to solve isn’t actually the question you need to be asking.

This is not passive work.

We are paying close attention to your life.

There is no formula for this work because there is no formula for a human life.

We begin with you.

How Long Does It Take?

Some of my clients have worked with me for years. Others come to me during a particular period in their lives, work through what brought them here, and reach a point where our work feels complete.

There is no prescribed timeline.

We’ll know when it’s time.
