Bio
I began to learn about love and all things relational in childhood. While there were times when the intricacies and constantly moving targets were confusing and sometimes quite confusing and frightening, I must have also been very intrigued by it all. This realization is not new The personal aspects of what I have witnessed in my friendships and in others was/is how I came to understand the nuances of communication styles and boundaries which the education of has continued to grow with me into present time. As a result of this personal pursuit of experiential research, to choose the profession as a Psychotherapist was an obvious choice. I grew up with a chronic illness (Crohn's Disease) experienced many surgiers as well as cancer. Within this experience I became intimately aquanted with great suffering on many different levels. However, I also found that illness can be beautifully transformative as I was driven to understand and strengthen a relationship with my body. My sensitive and somatic body has to a large degree forced me into constant inquiry into learning about the nature of limitations, and how to realize what it means to have a relationship with the Self. As a result, my private therapy practice has welcomed in hundreds of hours working with individual, couples, caregivers, and groups suffering with illness, as well as individuals and couples struggling to find more positive and compassionate paths both towards and away from one another. In addition to working with clients, I continue to pursue and enjoy writing creative non-fiction essays about the ways in which the physical body finds its way into communion with the spiritual heights and valleys of living with illness as well as a focus on compassionate communication, and other topics which inspire me. I have also come to understand the power of self-soothing through endeavors into assemblage art-making, designing and upcycling clothing into the symbology of the Collective. and any other inspiration that captures my attention. Finally, I would like the reader to know that I am in love with love and all of it's crazy nuances. I believe that healing is always possible if we open our ideas about how that healing should look. I believe that one's power should be carefully and compassionately utilized for only the greater good. And while it may be difficult to find appropriate, and sometimes, down and dirty dark humor in the midst of and in relationship to one's suffering and life's complexities, it can be a tremendous influence on the relief of physical, emotional, and spiritual pain while experiencing absolute absurity regardless of life's cicumstances. And yes, we can experience inner peace regardless of what is happening around us.
