Open Session Space

A space of compassionate, embodied, trauma-informed inquiry for relationships that need nurturing.

Some interpersonal conflicts just need a session or two; some need an ongoing process for a set length of time. I work with intimate relationships, friendships, community members or colleagues, supporting effective and meaningful clarity and communication.

Integrating experiential, cognitive, clinical and communication-based approaches, my toolkit is guided and orchestrated by a felt sense of the therapeutic space and what naturally presents itself through each person. 

Working consciously with what arises for us in relationship helps us to deepen and expand our own potential, our experience of connection and our understanding of what it means to be human.

Nurture your relationship as a whole and each of its parts.

You might begin with a consult together, then a First Relationship Session where a session plan can be determined to move ahead with.

You might have specific topics you’d like a supported space to explore together, a dialogue that keeps going nowhere — or creating further damage. Let’s interrupt the cycle!

You might choose a series of interpersonal clearings, to release old patterns of relating from the past that are intruding on your present relationship.

For intimate or complex relationship dynamics, a regular ‘dose’ of individual sessions and appointments together is often most effective and transformative. We use individual time for deeper inquiry and clarification of what is happening for each person, and to support you in communicating what needs to be spoken at your next session together. Repeated over several months, this process allows you to find a new way of relating with one another, resolve long-standing divides, and begin moving forward.

As a facilitator of this space, I do not side with either person; nor do I act as a communication channel between you. Instead, I keep the relationship as a whole in mind, supporting each of you to identify and transform personal patterns and communicate in the clearest, healthiest, and most effective way with yourself and the Other.
