The psychotherapeutic relationship is truly a sacred one. I feel blessed and grateful to have the skills to pursue this as my life’s work. I have studied and taught psychotherapy for more than thirty years, and continue to teach other professionals throughout the country [Click Here, for a description of some of my workshops]. Many paths bring people to psychotherapy. My role is to help guide you onto whatever path is next appropriate in your life or assist you in negotiating the path you have already chosen with clearer vision and a stronger feeling that you are heading in the "right" direction—even when the "right" direction may not feel so good in the present moment. I believe our struggles and difficulties in life—with ourselves and with others—are all opportunities to grow and transform old ways and perspectives into new approaches to life. The obstacles and struggles are our pause button providing us with the opportunity to review what we need to learn, and may have learned, and move on—incorporating the new learning into our way of being. Viewed in this way, pain, depression, difficulties in love and other relationships can take on new meaning and possibly—be more tolerated, if not embraced. I see my role as guiding you in seeing what you have not seen, feeling what you have not felt, and vocalizing what you have not said. Together we will explore those avenues… and then you will move on. I know in advance that I will be deeply touched by our experience, and honored that you have invited me briefly into your world. |
