"What I have seen is the happiest people discover their own nature and match their life to it". -Ray Dalio
It's hard to describe my work in words but this quote comes close. We are all unique individuals but old beliefs, holding patterns, fears and other things get in our way. I can help you to navigate those obstacles and refocus on what feels more real, alive and true for you. Your imagination, feelings, and excitement guide the way. Doing this one moment at a time, slowly you can work towards a more fulfilling life. The more you organize your inner world, the more successful you can be in the outer world.I've trained extensively in psychotherapy (Jungian analysis, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and others) but no longer feel it's the right label for my work. Too often, therapists view people as sick or broken while coaches typically impose a premade agenda. My experiential approach is unique and different. It's a creative process where we work together to give form to what is already nascent within you. Our relationship can be like a workshop or laboratory where you explore, make discoveries, and feel what it’s like to inhabit yourself in a new way. I'm more like an improvisational dance teacher, but for your whole life.I'd be happy to tell you more about myself and answer any questions you may have during our consultation.I work in person in southeast Portland, OR, or worldwide on Zoom. I don't interface with insurance companies but I maintain licenses in CA and NY if you're a resident with out-of-network benefits in your policy.
