My Approach to Helping

My psychotherapeutic approach takes into account the ineffable mystery of the person and is a multiple engagement through the relational field, the elicited imagery of the psyche, and mindfullness attunement to focal problematics (symptoms and presenting complaints) in the context of the larger working of the soul and what the deeper questing of the self is seeking to express, honoring in this process the central place that attachment plays in constructing a creative. sacred, and meaningful life. I have written papers on the impact of loss across generations, attachment issues, spirituality in psychotherapy, shame and forgiveness, grief and spirit. I bring a long devotion to spiritual practices (both Western and Eastern) to the rendering of psychotherapeutic care. The vessel of of psychotherapy is a sacred container and I do all that I can to develop and preserve this distincitve mode of being together. I value the richness of religious traditions and work with persons of all faiths with both respect and in a way that integrates their beliefs in a value orientedd process psychotherapy. I am on the editoral boards of professional journals and I teach psychotherapy at the post-graduate. Institute level. I shall do all that I can to help you.

Groups I Work With

I work with those for whom relationship stress is compelling them into seeking better adaptive modes of being, those for whom a sense of life as limited leads to inquiring into repressed streams of joy, those for whom depression and loss rob life of its vitality, those who seek and need to communicate more expansivley with others and with the inner others that are parts of the self, those for whom trauma holds hostage creative ways of being in the world, those for whom identity themes and life transition themes disorganize one from their evolving path.
