About

After many years of this work, the thing I am most certain of is that the people who come to me are not irrational. They are applying enormous intelligence to a problem that keeps changing its terms on them. Obsessive-compulsive patterns are clever that way: solve one and another appears wearing different clothes. So we stop playing that game and go after the engine instead, which is the demand for certainty itself. Most people find that idea an enormous relief, because it means they were never failing at something everyone else finds easy. I stepped away from clinical work for a stretch in administration and came back because I missed the actual conversations. I am glad I did, and I have not taken the room for granted since. If you want to talk about whether this is the right fit, reach out and ask me anything.
