Life presents us with many opportunities, moments of fulfillment, lack of fulfillment, trauma and/or terrible loss leading to difficulties in emotional intimacy, isolation, panic, resentment, depression - even despair. Our histories and fears mold our choices and can prevent us from achieving a more meaningful fulfilling life. Therapy involves, in part, a journey into the life of buried feelings/beliefs about self and others. Coaching involves emotionally intelligent problem solving. My clients typically consist of professional adults and couples who feel stuck in their lives/relationships. Some are in acute distress, others are unsure of the source/nature of their more chronic difficulties.
Individuals in acute distress as well as those with long-term difficulties often need professional help in recognizing and working through the emotional impact on self and others of their problems and preoccupations. For instance, Silicon Valley has a surfeit of folks harboring resentments due to the success of others.
I offer an empathic, integrative approach based on recognizing, clarifying and working-through emotional issues which keep a person stuck -- such as unmourned losses -- while also focusing on obstacles in the present. My hope is that clients will feel more satisfied with their lives/relationships and be able to problem-solve future difficulties.
