About My Clients
I love the myriad of forms that come across my screen in this work. I notice that there are 2 significant characteristics in people that make the process more effective and fulfilling. 1. A sincere willingness to engage & view life with a kind of seriously playful curiosity. 2. Entering w/ a certain degree of openness to transformation and having one’s mind changed. People open to new ideas and experiences, while also maintaining a healthy degree of skepticism, tend to work well w/ me.
My Background and Approach
Right in the middle, centered within the Mystery and Abstract & supported by the Known and Concrete. Like seasons, I believe that there are inherent patterns that help us learn how to respond and navigate our re-cycling lives. I’ve been blessed and cursed with a ravenous appetite for investigating the interior sciences, the stuff that defies objective measurement. I also have professional training and a deep reverence for the exterior sciences that help us find our way through the beauty and insight that measurement reveals. I see it not as an either/or, rather as a both/and. Rationality, Matter, Stability: & :Intuition, Spirit, Chaos make fantastic dance partners, and I have no intention of separating them from their natural gravitational pull to creatively move together. Life is a really big, serious deal and simultaneously playfully absurd and NBD (no big deal). I don’t know how both of those things are true at the same time, but they are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Diagnoses, from my perspective, often reveal the way that we are organized and shaped. I am interested in knowing the functionality and beauty of the various shapes that we take; the functionality and beauty of how we are organized. Whatever shape you are in, it is worthy of understanding, regardless of how strange and alien it may initially appear. I primarily work with individuals, ranging from late teens into elderhood. Fundamentally I see humans not as static entities but as dynamic becomings. We are all grappling with some flavor of becoming in our identities, be it spiritual, gender, familial, professional, artistic…. My aim is to support and move with processes of becoming–necessarily and appropriately seeing you as a fantastic work of art that is constantly evolving. Exploration, experimentation, discomfort, and play are necessary to creating any remarkable work of art.
