Work with me
Some of this work you can start on your own. Some of it is better done out loud, with someone who has spent a career in the territory. This is where we talk.
Most of what I do comes down to one thing: helping you negotiate the conflicts you carry rather than trying to cure them. Not a false peace with the voices that hold you back — a treaty that actually holds. I’m not here to fix you. You already have the answers; my job is to help you reach them.
Two ways to talk
Usually around half an hour. A single knot. A decision that is live right now. A check-in to keep the momentum going. Not a shorter version of the longer call — the right size for one thing, with enough room to actually get there.
Book a short callUsually around an hour. When it is more than one thing. Room for the heavier material — the private crisis, the grief, the thing you can’t say to anyone who needs something from you — at a slower, deeper pace. The longer call is not simply more minutes: heavier material needs room to be opened, and room to be closed again before you go.
Book the ConversationIf the work turns out to be ongoing, we arrange that between us after a first conversation — there is no package to buy up front and no commitment made before we both know it fits.
Some things need ongoing work — a standing negotiation rather than a single sitting. I take on a small number of people for that, in three forms.
Structured writing that reaches what talking alone can’t. For loss, grief, and the unfinished business underneath — faced on the page, then talked through.
