Professional Consultation & Education
Professionals across disciplines are often asked to sit with material that is intimate, complex, and not easily reduced to a protocol.
Sexuality, relationships, trauma, embodiment, spirituality, identity, and psychedelic experience can each carry layers of meaning that are personal, relational, cultural, and unconscious. They may emerge directly in the work, or more quietly through symptoms, conflict, avoidance, shame, fantasy, the body, or patterns that are difficult to understand at first.
My consultation and educational work offers a space to think more deeply about these intersections.
I work with psychotherapists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, coaches, sex educators, somatic practitioners, healthcare providers, clergy and spiritual care providers, psychedelic practitioners, and other helping professionals whose work brings them into contact with these areas.
The aim is not simply to acquire more techniques. It is to develop a greater capacity to remain thoughtful, steady, and curious in the presence of material that may be complicated, charged, unfamiliar, or difficult to name.
My approach draws from clinical psychology, sex therapy and sexology, psychoanalytic and depth psychological traditions, trauma work, embodiment, yoga therapy, and psychedelic integration. Rather than privileging one framework, I am interested in what becomes possible when we can hold multiple ways of understanding a person, a relationship, or an experience at once.
Consultation may focus on a particular person or situation, an ethical or relational dilemma, questions about sexuality or intimacy, or a broader desire to deepen one's understanding in an area that sits at the edge of existing training. At other times, the work may simply need a place to be thought about more fully before deciding what, if anything, needs to be done.
Professional consultation may take place individually, in small groups, or through customized workshops and educational offerings for organizations and interdisciplinary teams. Psychotherapists seeking ongoing clinical case consultation may also explore my Group Clinical Consultation.
Professional consultation and education are distinct from psychotherapy and do not constitute clinical supervision.
