Do you: Feel stuck and unable to move forward? Want to perform better under pressure? Feel overwhelmed and anxious? I help people manage the tension between what one has already achieved and what one still ought to accomplish. Together we explore questions about why powerful feelings and thoughts emerge, and how these emotions can be expressed and attended to in the most beneficial way.
I help people navigate difficult changes as they move into unfamiliar situations with personal and professional relationships. My focus is on the use of emotions for the development of a deeper understanding of yourself, and this type of nonjudgmental work encourages greater confidence and trust in the future.
I deeply relate to the pressure and responsibility of changing jobs, moving to new cities, and caring for family. In my work, I call attention to unrecognized assumption, and I am concerned with discovering patterns in the meanings you make by what you're doing. Please call me and we can discuss more about the ways to get more fulfillment in your life.

I focus on unrecognized assumptions, and we make a distinction between what you think about and how you do that thinking. I am less concerned with looking for causes to explain what you do and more concerned with discovering patterns in the meanings you make by what you're doing.
