Bob Dylan once claimed that “chaos is a friend of mine” while Albert Einstein posited that “energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” I view trauma symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc.) as energies that descend upon people due to stress rather than originating from within. We can develop relationships with trauma symptoms to transform them into growth, security and happiness. The Japanese have a saying, "hendoku iyaku," which means changing poison into medicine. My approach with a client is to use the experience of suffering as a springboard to create the best, most meaningful life.
I would like to address the problem of suicide. I have worked with hundreds of individuals, oftentimes with their families, who have been met with suicidal thoughts, including (thankfully) unsuccessful attempts. I will work diligently with you to address and transform suicide and other trauma symptoms to create the purposeful life that you deserve.
I work with individuals and, according to your preferences, couples and families. Let’s connect and get to work creating a new narrative based on your own cherished ideals and principles. As Joseph Campbell writes, “the hero journey is inside of you; tear off the veils and open the mystery of yourself.”
