The essence of effective psychotherapy is found in the therapist’s understanding, empathy and caring for you. Trust in our relationship develops from that foundation. My primary commitment to you is to help you grow in self-awareness and self-empowerment, and to help you take the necessary actions that will actualize your growth and development in the world. I integrate Jungian analysis, object relations, self-psychology and the intersubjectivity schools of practice.
The Issues:
Through our conversation and inquiry, and our emerging alliance, the issues you’re bringing to therapy come forward. We work with whatever energies are imortant to you. Usually these issues involve unresolved feelings of fear, shame, helplessness, worthlessness and anger; traumatic emotional, physical and sexual experience; challenges in relationship; dysfunctional behaviors; unfulfilled aspirations; questions about life's meaning; and physical illness and aging. I offer compassionate mirroring, understanding and intuitive insight. Your commitment to yourself together with my genuine presence and support allow us to explore these issues safely and skillfully, in ways that will help you to grow in love and self-awareness, and walk the path of healing toward wholeness.
The Process:
The past and the present intersect in our psyches and in our experience of ourselves and others. Our work together progresses as the difficult feelings and habitual patterns of thought, feeling and behavior come forward for us to hold together. Through dialogue, dream analysis, visualization and other modalities, these old patterns can be resolved. Newly awakened feelings and perspectives arise naturally as old resistances and dysfunctional patterns fall away. Your experience of yourself, others and the world can be greatly transformed.
The Resolution:
As your sense of self and others is transformed through our work together, you come to trust and love yourself more deeply and relationships with others become more meaningful and fulfilling. People leave therapy with greater self-awareness, self-empowerment and the tools to navigate the world more effectively.
A fine therapist is someone who has not only academic training and experience, but also a long-term commitment to extensive self-exploration, healing and integration.
