Business Description

I am a Certified Jungian Psychotherapist, located in Greenwich Village. I
am interested in helping people find quality and depth in their
relationship to themselves and others. As adults, fortunately, we are
not victims of childhood. To the extent that we see ourselves that way
our lives become compromised and limited by this narrow and false
view of ourselves. Since we are more than our childhood experience, a
too limited engagement of our potential often produces unpleasant
symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, etc. Part of the
psyche becomes like a caged animal struggling to break from confining
attitudes that squelch our desires, passions, creativity and spontaneity.
Childhood experience has, without a doubt, an effect on who we are
but, what we are, that is, our authenticity, is always nascent and ready
to be engaged. Symptoms are signs that tell us what is wrong and the
corrective needed. Depression, for instance, draws us inward as if to
say that we are too externally oriented and need to attend to what is
going on inside. Our dreams, fantasies, and problems in every day life
are communications which, when understood, can help guide us
toward a more fulfilled and creative life. Usually, this process requires
us to be willing to let go of old attitudes, ways of approaching life that
may not be working. It can be difficult but transformation demands
hard work and sacrifice and is ultimately what makes us feel fulfilled
and sleep better?
