Writing is my way of returning inwards, through the laneways of the poetic and towards what feels far more unifying than my rational reflections. I believe this inner journey is beautifully considerate of my clients and my sense of wellbeing. I am asked not just to surrender but to find a richness of language that allows for the inclusions of the heart. Nature has a restorative responsiveness that weaves separateness into a sense of belonging, which if attended to, has a quality of wisdom that leaves me open, loving, and present in my clinical work.
