Are you the person who has it all and you’re still not happy? You’ve done everything right but you cannot fully enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard for? Or maybe you keep doing something you can’t stop yourself from doing, even though you’ve tried. I specialize in helping highly-motivated individuals reach their full potential emotionally to achieve life-encompassing success. And yes, it is possible to reach your goals in half the time of typical talk-therapy. Why waste time in a subpar emotional state when you could really feel happy?

The solution starts with a simple premise: your mind and your body are one. Therefore, using your body to deal with the problems of your mind significantly accelerates the healing process. You can get to the root of the problem more quickly and incorporate an emotional fitness routine into your daily life to get the happiness and peace-of-mind you’re after.

I use body-based psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and life-coaching. My deliverables could be described as SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE. I define SMALL as crisis intervention; we address your immediate concerns. MEDIUM is support and relief. Giving you an outlet for your daily life. And LARGE; those are the deeper issues covered in my book, Emotional Utopia.

If your coping strategy is complete avoidance of your feelings, nothing you do in a talk-therapy or coaching setting will help you drop this crutch. The power of your negative beliefs will continue to block you from lasting results. But there's good news. If you do manage to uncover and untie your unconscious emotional tangles, the problematic behaviors will be eliminated almost like magic.

Bioenergetic psychoanalysis will move you toward achieving happiness by revealing unconscious beliefs, engaging stuck energy, and integrating this new information and experiences into your conscious awareness and into a coherent narrative of your life. Understanding your pain or numbness comes from experiencing physical sensations under the guidance of an experienced, trained practitioner.
