Are you

• Looking to find equal partnership in love or friendship?

• Curious about how to make love stay?

• Seeking a more satisfying connection to work?

• Craving a deeper and different relationship to your body and sexuality?

Discover who you are and what you want with loving guidance from someone who's been there. My circumstances may differ from yours but I have developed the love and leadership skills to help you emerge from whatever intimacy or work quandry you're in.

Old timers, new timers

You may have worked hard at self-knowledge. Perhaps you've graduated from therapy or coaching, but aren't sure what's next. Maybe the well-referred therapist who listened attentively didn't work for you. Perhaps that training that you signed up for motivated you for just a few weeks before you puttered back to your starting point, or the spiritual practice you thought would be The Answer ultimately left you feeling deflated. Maybe it's just that one issue that still sticks out like a sore thumb, and nothing gets to the heart of the matter or inspires in a lasting way.

You are just starting out in the earlier stages of adulthood, between the ages of 21 and 30 years old, and have discovered that life's hard in an unexpected way. Something's missing. You know you still need care and guidance , but not in a parental way, and you haven't yet found someone older who really gets you.

If any of these sound like you, and you're interested in creating a love-filled life of which you are the leader, I would love to be a part of your journey.

Let's have a chat and begin to find out. Feel free to call me at the number below or e- mail here.

Here's what you can expect

I offer a unique blend of spiritual, psychological, theatrical and systems training in assisting your process. Our meetings are geared to help you gain insight and build the skills you need to feel satisfied in love and at work. You can call me your therapist: I have a degree and license, and receive out-of-network coverage with some insurance carriers. Some prefer to call me their coach or mentor.

In one meeting (occasionally it takes two) -- over the phone, computer or in person -- we will discover what your work is, create the best structure for us to work together and you'll get a sense of what you might expect when we are done. I can't tell you how long it will take -- that is dependent upon several factors. I can tell you that I work both short term (sometimes a few sessions) and long term (a few years). Although people experience immediate shifts, many come to appreciate being known deeply in a partnership which, over time, offers the ease of growing with someone who cares, who can keep up with you and who can keep an eye out for your blind spots and ultimately help you stand fully in your authority.

A little more about the process

In the beginning as questions are asked and new ideas are introduced, we are getting to know and trust each other. I'm engaged with you, learning about your world. I'm telling you what I see, and offering you skills to navigate in the direction you want to go. You are getting to know your work and the way I work, the tools and the language I use. There may be playful and interesting homework between sessions. Although you will experience immediate shifts, often what transpires in sessions is difficult to describe because the deepest part of the work is happening on a non-verbal level.

When Life waltzes in, the situations it brings enable us to study the underlying beliefs, habitual reactions and default emotions that mark your current perspective. You get to use the skills to create new strategies and develop who you want to be as the opportunities to act continually present themselves. Finally, we witness your evolution until the person you want to be is the one who primarily calls the shots and you are able to fully engage in Life's ever-changing rhythms.

Call or email today for more information or for an appointment.

Our work can also be packaged in couples or individual retreats at SpiritPlay Studio in Woodstock. Now booking for winter and spring of 2013.

CHECK OUT THE NEW, LOVERS AND LEADERS COURSE FOR

COUPLES!!!!

Falling in love is a unique state of inspiration in which we naturally reveal our best qualities in the service of love.

As you may have noticed, in subsequent stages of love relationships, putting your best self forth doesn't come as easy. We forget who our beloved is and what our relationship is for. In today's world of flexible roles, it is easy to get lost in a tangle of expectation and resentment, leading to chronic fighting, stalemates, and other breakdowns in communication and intimacy.

As your relationship therapist, coach or consultant, I can help you as a couple restore your vision, reconnect with your values and communicate with greater ease and efficiency. I can help you build useful structures and co-leadership roles to create a working partnership in which each person is whole. Although I think of myself as a consultant to your couplehood, I do have a degree and license and you can call me your therapist, and receive out-of-network coverage with some insurance carriers.

In one meeting (occasionally it takes two) -- over the phone, computer or in person -- we will discover what your work is, and create the best structure for us all to work together and what you might expect when we are done. I can't tell you how long it will take -- that is dependent upon several factors. I can tell you that I work both short term (sometimes a few sessions) and long term (a few years), and although people experience immediate shifts -- many come to appreciate being known deeply in a partnership which over time, offers the ease of growing with someone who cares, who can keep up with you and keep an eye out for your blind spots and ultimately help you thrive in love.
