Therapy
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time
- TS Eliot
The heart of therapy is the experience of "withness." Together, we will create a safe and sturdy container – referred to by Jungians as the "well-sealed vessel” of alchemy – that is strong enough to hold the work you wish to do.
You then invite me, as an empathetic and trained professional, into that space. I often tell clients, "It’s much harder for you to step into these places than it is for me. I will go with you wherever you need to go."
We follow the natural flow of your energy, looking beyond the surface of your life to uncover the rich complexity of your inner self. Every part of you is welcome, and together we will create the freedom to explore, experiment, and grow.
