Individual Work with Adults

Our general approach is to help clients access difficult emotions that may have seemed too powerful to be experienced in the past. Some times that involves building skills and capacity to help clients stay grounded and feel in control in spite strong feelings. Often accessing emotions means getting into the bodily experience of the feeling and experiencing it while addressing the fear or shame that may have kept the sadness or grief locked away. We do not see our role as having simple answers or advice for clients. Rather, we want to help clients know themselves and their own minds more fully.

Who do we specialize in working with? We have particularly enjoyed working with writers, artists, musicians and those in helping professions. But we have loved working people in the service industry, the trades and many walks of life.

We work with clients struggling many things including trauma, addictive behaviors, acting out, relationship issues and loneliness.
