A wonderful way to learn to connect to our True Selves– or Core Being– is by discovering ways to shift perspectives and to open up to new possibilities. When old limitations are broken through, we find ourselves more receptive to the potential of what we– individually, and collectively as humans– can be and are capable […]
“Once you have come far enough to see yourself with all your faults, devoid of defensiveness and feelings of disharmony, as an uninvolved observer would, you can build the positive—and only then. For you must build on a foundation of truth. You cannot build on lies or untruth, and those who do not know themselves […]
If you struggle with any form of dissatisfaction in your life– from deep depression to more mild effects such as constantly looking for other potential partners (if you are in a relationship)– the Prison/Slave mentality is worth reflecting on. So many people struggle under a seemingly unbearable burden, but often can’t quite put a name […]
‘As you all know, at least theoretically and intellectually, love is the greatest power in the universe.

That means I won’t have a physical office location for a while, but I’ll still be scheduling online therapy sessions. And, as all of you who have had to go to online […]
Happy Thanksgiving to all, with special gratitude to my therapy clients, friends, and family! Psychotherapy is not a luxury. Each and every one of us needs support at times, and we all have a lifetime of programming and experiences that can prevent us from living our most authentic, happy and rich lives.
