I work with people on improving relationships, health, and career as well as navigating big life moments and creative endeavors. Over years of clinical work, I found that people made huge leaps forward between sessions when we emailed back and forth, so much so that I closed my in-person practice and now work with people entirely in writing. I also record audio practices, hand-draw diagrams, and share an abundance of actionable resources. Working this way has turned out to be incredibly effective. I encourage you to visit my website for a fuller picture.
Doing personal work via writing is spacious and flexible while giving you a tangible map from which to work. If you’re tired of Zoom meetings and find that writing helps your thoughts and feelings come together, you’re going to like conversing this way.
Drop me an email and let me know what you’re seeking. It’s free to do an initial consult with me to see how we might work together. On my website, I also have a blog that you can access for free that provides a wide range of resources.
