In my ongoing exploration of paths of transformation, I’ve tried a lot of different things. Some have been pretty good, some of been wrong-thing or wrong-time; a few have been life-changing. I wanted to share the top four of the life-changing variety. I’m not including things like “getting married” or “having kids,” though they certainly […]

Issues Big and Small
As a therapist, I’ve worked with people on issues that run the full gamut of life, from the devastatingly traumatizing to the relatively benign. To me, the issues are all real, all deserving of honoring. Some of my clients feel guilty about having trouble with issues they feel they should be able to just “get […]
Neurofeedback Intensive — Two Months Later
After doing the neurofeedback intensive – doing sessions twice a day for 30 days – I was curious to see how the transformations I experienced would hold up. Helpfully, two of my clients wanted to try it too, and they went through their own transformative process. So now we have an N = 3. Common […]

If I had only had this information earlier, it would […]
ADD/ADHD and Neurofeedback
Many of my clients come to me because they or their child has been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, and they want to either minimize the need for medication, or avoid it altogether. Some come because even though they haven’t been officially diagnosed with ADD, they have trouble with focus, organization, procrastination, stress and overwhelm. […]
What Can I Expect In My First Session?
For those who have never seen a psychotherapist or counselor, or don’t know what to expect from someone who does “energy psychotherapy” (whatever that is…!) the prospect of starting can feel intimidating. Here’s how it works in my practice. Our first contact is usually with an email, where you let me know that you’re interested, […]
