"Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live," (Goethe) Yet, trusting yourself depends on knowing yourself - what to do and how to live follows. Frustration, disappointment, anxiety and depression are signals that there is more to know about yourself. Our work will unravel the assumptions and patterns that undermine your capacity to create the love and work life that you desire. For over 30 years I have helped individuals and couples negotiate pivotal life transitions: leaving home, developing a career, finding a mate, parenting, the empty nest and aging.
Usually, by the time you call me, you have devoted significant energy to your problems and still feel stuck. I will listen closely as you relate your experiences, hopes, and fears. I will also attend and attune to unconscious dynamics, non verbal communications , dream images, emotions, and interpersonal conflicts.
Sometimes problem solving and communications work facilitate change. More often, deeper, complex dynamics are present. As our relationship develops, the issues that impair your life will emerge between us. Together we can address and transform them. Like education, travel, or creating music, a transformative therapy opens a world of personal choices you cannot yet imagine.
