Most of the people I work with are capable and accomplished, and tired of something they can’t quite shake. Maybe it’s anxiety that never fully switches off, perfectionism that looks like success from the outside, or a marriage that’s gone quiet. I like to start with what’s happening in your life right now, then get curious together about where it comes from. My training draws on neuroscience and attachment research, so I’ll sometimes explain what your nervous system is doing and why. That tends to make the hard stuff feel less like a personal failing.
I’ll also be straight with you. When I see something you might be missing, I’ll say so, and we’ll decide together what to do with it. I try to keep a sense of humor in the room, too. People do their best work when they don’t feel judged.
