Frequently they engage in self-defeating behaviors risking their health and relationships or their ability to expand their creativity and professional horizons.

I find inner work to be extremely useful for members of this group. In partnership, we create a safe space for learning about core influences, assumptions, and meanings attached to their success, particularly factors influencing their current situation and symptoms.

In this process, they often exhibit deep sensitivity and insecurity, intrusive self-criticism, and weighty shame and guilt surrounding their success. Here, they are able to slow down, allow themselves to meander in mind, and experience the freedom to express doubt or ask questions that cannot be readily answered.

And experientially, the introspective qualities and “off-track” explorations of dynamic work provide these individuals the opportunity to approach and meet goals in ways that are distinctly in contrast to the linear, hierarchical, and pressured-paced professional climb, and often more congruent with their reality and heart’s true voice.

I’ve been effective in helping my high-achieving clients make sense of their present and past events, cultivate emotional flexibility, develop more honest connections with themselves and others, enhance healthy lifestyle, and frequently energize and expand their professional horizons.

And even if life feels generally good and safe, there may be this constant and illusive angst about living – restricting your innate vitality and thirst for adventure and exploration.

Are you carrying a story of trauma, one that has hindered your capacity to thrive – to connect meaningfully with yourself and others, to feel confident, vital, and hopeful? Has it replaced your best self with prolonged anxiety, depression, isolation, substance abuse, or feelings of shame and guilt surrounding such distressing events?

My practice offers a safe setting to help you cultivate paths to ease the weight and reduce the ‘noise’ of your traumatizing experiences. Working together, I will help you develop skills and practices to manage your pain while also engaging you to process, acknowledge, and come to terms with your story of trauma, so you can participate more fully and authentically in your life.

• If we determine that you require a level of care beyond what I can provide, I will attempt to refer you to other providers who might be more suited for your trauma therapy needs.

With advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy I use this approach to engage my clients in a special dialogue helpful in shining light on root-causes of hindering matters and difficulties so that these become evident and therefore available for change and transformation.

To stimulate awareness, I encourage my clients to talk freely about whatever is on their mind. Stories, fantasies, and dreams offer rich material for exploration and discovery.

Doing this work with curiosity, patience, and perseverance – you too can grow to discover inner peace, connect more authentically with yourself and others, and create tangible and purposeful change in your life. This process is held and energized by the meaningful space and the relationship my clients and I develop over time.
