We're only on Earth for a little while: too short a time to spend it indulging bad habits, ignoring our talents, suffering inadequate relationships. Personal Coaching has two main goals. First, it helps you to notice and release your fear, resentment, self-destructive sorrow -- the whole range of negative habits in thought, feeling and behavior. Second, it helps you to give your gifts to the world: your talents, your capacities, your joy. On every level, coaching enhances your relationships: with family, partner, co-workers and friends, with this amazing Earth, and with your own sense of yourself as fully alive.
My work is informed by systems thinking and by my psychodynamic training at City University of New York and long-term practice in meditation. I am not interested in pushing some particular viewpoint, however: I want to find what makes sense for you. I have moved from psychotherapy, which is re-imbursable by insurance, to Personal Coaching, which is not.
I have worked for 20 years in Great Barrington, MA, seeing clients of all ages. Before that, I served as Associate Clinical Professor at Columbia University's medical school. I wrote The Stairway of Surprise: Six Steps to a Creative Life (2002) and Group Meditation (2011) both from SteinerBooks, as well as BE: An Alphabet of Astonishment (2023).
