I began my career as one of the original investigators of sleep and dream phenomena and co-authored the definitive paper on the factors affecting dream recall. As my career evolved I engaged in clinical work at the Country Place, a progressive residential treatment center in Litchfield Connecticut where, under the tutelage of Dr.Renee Nell, a personal student of CG Jung, I developed therapeutic techniques which have proved to be increasingly effective with many clients.
My training has been comprehensive and has integrated the tools offered by spiritual disciplines and training in Jungian dream analysis.
Three decades of experience have taught me that each of us possesses an inner intelligence that can support our efforts toward a meaningful and productive life. As a therapist I consider myself to be an agent of this positive force. I have found that my emphasis on supporting what is right in us produces better results than a narrow focus on what is wrong. These methods have enabled individuals to function more successfully, more creatively, and to deepen an understanding of their behavior in their relationships and their work.
I have learned to listen to the whole person.
