About My Clients
Whether you are seeing me individually or with your partner, my goal is to assist you in bringing the best and most beautiful parts of you to the fore. I don’t mind getting down in the muck of life with you because I know all of your experiences, properly held, can be transformed into something of value. Things like grief and loss, missteps and failure, even trauma and abuse can be spun into wisdom, clarity, compassion, purpose, and love.
My Background and Approach
I believe life is a spiritual journey that is given meaning through relationships. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, their hearts, and their loved ones. Spiritual psychology serves as the bedrock of my understanding of the human condition, while systems theory makes up the bulk of my theoretical framework. Somatic approaches provide the link between “talk therapy” and the physical bodies we all inhabit, and attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology explain how those bodies interact with one another. Finally, Relational Life Therapy offers practical technologies of intimacy that we can all learn to build and sustain meaningful relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The foundation of my approach is an understanding of the challenge facing modern lovers. We are wanting more from our relationships today than ever before. We still want the stability and comfort afforded by traditional marriages, but we now also crave emotional intimacy, intellectual stimulation, passionate sex, and spiritual connection…on into our golden years! Unfortunately, most of us are still operating under the rules that worked (or didn’t) for our parents and grandparents. We need a brand new set of skills to match our lofty vision. In light of this, I see myself as an emissary for a radically new kind of relationship, the intimate relationship. I believe intimacy is our birthright as humans, and my mission is to help you reclaim it. In learning to love well, we create healing for both those who will follow and those who came before. This understanding of a broader purpose, one that literally has the power to change the world, provides the backdrop for my work.
