About

I am a therapist for adults who are responsible for other people and have run out of room for themselves. Most of my clients are competent, thoughtful, and operating on a reserve that ran out some time ago. Raising kids while holding down everything else leaves very little space for the question of how you are doing, and that question tends to go unasked for years at a time. This is the hour where it gets asked. We deal with the practical difficulties too, but I am equally interested in the person doing the managing, who is usually the least attended-to individual in the entire household. I returned to clinical work after a stretch in administration, mainly because I missed being useful to individuals rather than to systems. If nobody has asked how you are in a while, reach out. You are allowed to be the subject of the conversation for once.
