Building a little more space & a little more tolerability

You are so damn brave. 

I know that often and perhaps increasingly the hole seems endless. 

I know that that you might scoff at the notion that you are even a tiny bit brave.

AND being here, reading this, considering help, wanting something different is brave. 

You are brave.

And that bravery does not mean that you have to feel this way forever.

I want to give you some tools that can help.

I am invested first in not necessarily making things better (because let's be real, if it was that easy, you would have already done that) but finding immediate ways to make the depression and hopelessness a little less worse.

Generally clients who come to me with depression and hopelessness are in crisis and have been suffering and drowning for quite a while before they found the reserve to reach out.

Our first order of business then is to create a little more space and a little more tolerability in your life.

I want to shore up your reserve and your resilience immediately so that the suffering can be a little less loud. 

And with that reserve and resilience can come the space and the capacity to do some of the bigger and deeper work.

I'm not here to silver line your suffering or give you crappy strategies that don't address the real here-and-now crisis that is affecting your every minute.

I know that one of the things that both creates and exacerbates depression & hopelessness is how goddam lonely it is.

You don't have to be alone in it anymore.

We can build some tools to both address the immediate crisis at its root.

We can build some tools so that you can have more choices in how you live.

You get to have a different life.

I'm here to help.
