You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is your opportunity to tell your story. The story of what is working and what is not. You get to start imagining what would be different if you had it your way. I get to start imagining how to get you there.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've devoted 30 years to the study of relationships and creativity. Personally, I've done it all. Marriage, divorce, co-parenting, career pivots, loss and reclaiming my joy. I have been there and can help guide you through the thicket. I happily facilitate clients out of "lost-ness" and into the life, love, and job of their dreams.
