I don’t have to be what you want me to be; I’m free to be who I want.

— Muhammad Ali

 

Each of us shapes and is shaped by the relationships we have with others, with our bodies, with our stories, with our cultures, and with our worlds. We find ourselves here and now because of where we’ve been and what has happened, because of how we carry our experiences forward and how they have made us. I am awed by the creative resilience with which we integrate or shoulder the burdens we’ve felt. I find astonishing and courageous the ways in which we not only survive, but find ways to thrive, to express ourselves, and live into the fullness of human experience despite those things that have hurt us and that hurt us now.

Together you and I can explore the way of being at which you have arrived. We can bring our attention to the "what" and the "how” of your “here and now.” With awareness of what you already do and how you do it, you can develop choice about "what else" you might do and "how else" you might do it. Awareness and choice can bring change and healing.

Sometimes what we feel now is too much like we felt then, and sometimes now feels impossibly unfamiliar. Both experiences can be overwhelming, but both present an opportunity for growth toward health and freedom. I would love to join you as a witness, as a guide, and as a companion on your journey. When you are ready, please reach out to contact me.
