Welcome
The nautilus is an amazing creature. Its nature is a life metaphor. It outgrows its chamber and builds another large one, and moves into the new chamber upon completion. A series of chambers are thus built over time in a spiral fashion, using its existing structure for support. The living creature is present in the last and largest chamber. Optimally, we humans grow and change in the same way, creating and inhabiting an increasing sense of spaciousness within ourselves. This is how I view the process of therapy and life.
This work feels like a sacred calling. When there is a deep connection between the client and therapist, it is a collaborative dance. While I incorporate a few theorists into my practice, it is meant only to provide a structure, because every client is completely unique. The work we do can be quite profound. My approach is very straightforward, yet I incorporate a large dose of humor.
There is a wonderful poem about the nautilus
by Oliver Wendell Holmes, which you may wish
to download.
