Empathy and Focusing are my special skills. You can begin to learn Focusing and other valuable skills in our work together. I studied with Dr. Eugene Gendlin at the University of Chicago. Everyone, growing up, learns some feelings are "bad." This produces obstacles to accurate perception.I am skillful at helping you find conflict-resolving passages that could remain hidden to you searching alone. With empathy, I work to create a safe environment in which you can explore feelings that may be difficult to approach on your own. I listen to your "heart," not just your mind. In your "bad" feelings, there is intricacy: healthy positive impulses mixed with ancient lessons about good and bad. Through psychotherapy you can become more flexible and gain access to abilities and bodily wisdom that will revive your spirit. You are likely to improve your ability to genuinely express yourself to others in ways that are well received and that you can feel good about.
