Something changed. I don’t understand what it is, but I feel so much more free.

Why does it make complete sense that this client is having this experience?” In other words, there is more to understand here…

I’m not here to dispense advice. I have skill in aiding folks in discovering their own innate guidance and wisdom and that stuff is just way better than somebody else’s ideas.

Trauma healing happens in relationship. When it comes to trauma healing, the therapist/client attachment relationship can become an invaluable resource toward lasting resolution of ancient injuries.

Authentic. I am genuinely curious about the real you, and I’m going to be the real me.

Develops through experimentation and learning with each client as I attune to their personal needs.

processing differences (i.e. neurodiversity) account for a significant portion of relational rupture; most couples and parent/child dyads are suffering from invisible misunderstandings.

People who have had spiritual experiences that haven’t yet been integrated into their daily lives.

When I was a coach, I couldn’t accept insurance. It meant I could only work with rich folks! Having never been an adult with such means myself, and coming from the ethics of gift economics and barter, pay-for-fee services broke my heart.

I didn’t figure out how to ‘adult’ until I hit my forties—not because I lacked intelligence, motivation, or a strong work ethic, but because the way my mind naturally operates was at odds with the culture I grew up in. Over decades, through practices like meditation and deep self-reflection, I discovered that I was fully capable of thriving as an adult. Even now, I’m not entirely sure how the shift happened, but I do know this: after decades of raising children while in poverty, I somehow unlocked skills that once felt completely out of reach.

Though I now choose a thriving monogamous partnership, I lived the first quarter century of my adulthood polyamorous, raising a gaggle of amazing kids in an always-evolving extended and blended, “chosen” family structure with lots of “Mama”s and “Papa”s.  As my now-adult daughter recently attested “if I could redo any of my childhood, I wouldn’t change a thing”.  For me, polyamory is not theoretical orientation.  It is my nature, history, and home culture.

In permaculture, we observe that the intersection between two distinct biomes produces a unique “edge” where more biodiversity and natural creativity becomes possible. This happens in therapy, when the therapist and client come from different cultural ecologies. At the place where we meet, we discover and become more than we could have, separately.

The universal importance of grieving. Everyone has ungrieved grief locked in our bodies, protectively. We fear who we would become if we let those feelings have us, so we push them down, or run from them, or tune them out with addictions and distractions. But when we learn to let the grief do its work, we start to get free. We get more and more free.
