One-on-One Work
Mentorship & Guidance
I work with a small number of people at a time in one-on-one coaching and mentorship. I keep this number deliberately small.
What This Work Is
The work I do in this context is focused on psychological and spiritual development: working through the places where inner life has stalled, developing a more honest relationship with the shadow, finding a contemplative practice that actually fits your life, and thinking seriously about the questions that therapy and conventional spirituality haven't quite reached.
This isn't life coaching and it isn't therapy. It is something closer to what the older traditions called guidance: accompaniment by someone who has walked a similar path and can offer both the psychological framework and the contemplative experience that the work requires.
Who I Work With
I am drawn to work with people who are already engaged in some form of inner work and who sense that something in that work isn't quite landing. People who are intellectually serious and willing to be challenged. People who don't need to be convinced that psychology and spirit belong in the same conversation.
I typically work with people navigating one or more of the following:
A contemplative practice that has deepened to the point where it is raising psychological questions the tradition doesn't seem to address directly.
A period of genuine transition, particularly a midlife one, in which the structures that have held life together are no longer working and something new is trying to emerge.
A serious engagement with depth psychology, in or outside formal therapy, that would benefit from a thinking partner who also has a contemplative background.
A sense of being between traditions: no longer at home in the religion you were raised in, not fully at home in secular modernity either, and looking for a framework that can hold both.
How to Inquire
If any of this resonates and you are interested in working together, I'd invite you to reach out and tell me about yourself using the Initial Consulting link below): who you are, where you are in your inner work, and what you are looking for. I read everything and respond to everyone, though I am selective about taking on new clients. Not because I want to be exclusive, but because the work goes better when there is a genuine fit.
