Perhaps you're seeking emotional understanding or spiritual guidance. Perhaps you're a young aspiring professional, or a more middle-aged partial success story, maybe with a family. Despite success in parts of your universe, you've discovered an emptiness or impasse that keeps you from peace and fulfillment. Whether it's an invisible existential spiritual void screaming for a new source of security, or life's common woes of financial pressure, infidelity, career confusion, and dealing with bullies, we all at some point need spiritual, emotional, and practical guidance. The wise realize it's a great power to be able to ask for help. Spiritual Psychoanalysis seeks to integrate the wisdom of ancient religions and spiritual philosophies with the modern scientific advancements of psychology and psychoanalysis. A half-century of clinical practice has shown me we need spiritual AND practical to evolve. I can help whether you need an empathic witness or a mapmaker to chart your soul's journey. If you're willing to work hard, I'll listen carefully to the whispers of your Soul as it struggles to break through the ocean's surface to breathe fresh air. Whether you need a dependable emotional witness or a psychic mapmaker who can chart the journey of your Soul, its destinies, and obstacles, perhaps together we might be able to help you steer your ship. Specialties: Who are you? I can help you figure out who were you meant to be vs. how you developed given the needs of your unique family. How can you assert your needs and angers without annihilating your partner? How can you get beyond your family's and Life's needs and demands to find something more spiritual or Divine? Despite LIfe's inevitable losses and our own mortality how can we still feel hope & joy? Credentials & Experience: My half-century of specialization has been in the creative: process, development, art, & living. I've also studied Hebrew teachings for 7 years with a reformed, then orthodox, Rabbi. I seek to marry the wisdom of ancient religions & modern psychology to help myself &others seek spiritual empowerment
"Often, I use Jungian therapy with clients who believe they have Freudian symptoms of sexual and power-oriented urges to show them the spiritual side of Life. Often, I use Freudian therapy with clients who believe they have Jungian symptoms involving spiritual crises and attaining Heaven to show them how our most spiritual strivings require negotiating with spouses, children, money, and intimacy."
