When you first come in you can expect me to ask what you are interested in working on. Some typical responses are…
I’m depressed, I’m anxious, I’m stressed-out.
There is no intimacy or affection in my life.
I feel alone and unsupported – as if nobody really cares about me.
I have OCD.
Dating and romance have become impossible.
My partner and I fight too much.
What is going on with our government???
I think I should spend less time playing video games…
I have eco-anxiety.
I think I have unprocessed trauma from my childhood that’s affecting my adult relationships.
I should have never become a (lawyer, doctor… fill in the blank) – now what should I do?
I think my wife might be borderline – just like my mother was.
I think my husband is a narcissist – oh yeah, my dad was a narcissist too.
It feels like I may be thinking about killing myself too frequently.
I’m in an abusive relationship and think I may be codependent.
My doctor said I had a manic episode but I think it may have been a kundalini rising spiritual awakening.
My relationship with my parents/kids/siblings is fucked.
I work way too much – my life is completely unbalanced.
I’m thinking about working with psychedelics, plant medicine.
Or maybe you are just seeking authentic counsel from someone older: then we would chat about your goals and mutually decide how I can best support you.
