"Based upon 30 years of providing therapy as a Psychologist and Psychoanalyst to both individuals and couples, I've realized how much hurt and disappointment comes from unfulfilled hopes, misunderstandings and lack of real communication.

My work has been dedicated to integrating psychology and spirituality and applying it directly in our everyday lives. As a long term Zen practitioner as well as a psychologist, I enjoy discovering new, constructive, approaches to life's challenges.

I am author of many books, including The Anger Diet (30 Days To Stress Free Living), Zen and the Art of Falling in Love, (Simon and Schuster), Zen Miracles (Finding Peace In An Insane World) and many others.

My training includes psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal approaches. However, I work with each individual's uniqueness, seeing what that individual's life direction, wishes and goals may be.

In my work I focus upon an individual's gifts and strengths. As these grow stronger, many difficulties and unnecessary defenses fall away by themselves."

TREATMENT PREFERENCES
Orientation:

Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is also known as insight oriented therapy. It evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis in which the therapist interprets the patient's words and behaviors. This approach holds that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict. This therapy involves more frequent sessions than CBT does.
Transpersonal

This branch of psychology is concerned with the study of states and processes in which people experience a deeper or wider sense of who they are—or a sense of greater connectedness with others, nature or the spiritual dimension. Transpersonal psychology extends into consciousness studies, spiritual inquiry, mind-body relationships and transformation. Carl Jung first coined the term transpersonal(uberpersonlich) when he used the phrase transpersonal unconscious as a synonym for collective unconscious.
