When you face a challenge, do you become your own worst enemy? Do you put yourself down, rather than put your best foot forward? When attracted to someone, or an exciting new job prospect, or a difficult task at your present job, do you hear an inner, paralytic voice saying you can never succeed? And does that send you into a funk—rather than pump you up to succeed?

I can help you rewrite the “schemas” that hold you back, by exploring how they got written, in the first place, how your inner personas feel they somehow benefit you, and work through their emotional-cognitive bases, to help you build a better life.

Rates are reasonable: $100, with a sliding scale for low income clients. Please get in touch if you want to co-create with me some deep explorations.

My client population has generally included people overwhelmed by depression, lack of self esteem, social anxiety, and unwillingness to challenge parents, bosses, romantic companions who cross their boundaries to oppress them.

During the course of our work, as we deepen our contact, we will use a combination of techniques from Gestalt therapy, including chairwork, moment-by-moment emotional work, inner-child work, and David Malan's two "triangles". Irrational schemas you reveal, are clues to to the underlying emotions, personas, and characters that hang you up out of awareness, to protect yourself from past traumas.
