All counseling is currently being conducted remotely.
While sometimes there is a specific crisis at-hand, it is often difficult to identify a single cause when our lives feel troubling, unsatisfying, lonely or otherwise out of balance. Rarely is it just one variable, but more often a combination of relationships, career, health, and existential concerns — spanning from the distant past to the unknowable future — that lead to feelings of distress, and present obstacles to personal and professional growth.
With respect to the complexity of life, we will work together to name and explore whatever may be causing uneasiness within you, and in your relationships. Couples will work to gain a greater awareness of habits of communication that lead to misunderstanding, as well as how to step outside of well-worn dynamics that leave members of the couple feeling alienated and dissatisfied.
Personal Counseling
Most of us have behavioral and emotional habits and compulsions that may have at one point fulfilled an important purpose, but which no longer serve us. How do we ready ourselves to change such habits, and how do we go about doing that? We will collaborate to understand and accept -- and ultimately to release the beliefs, habits and behaviors you are ready to leave behind you. We may explore the influence of family history and previous life experience in order to contextualize your strengths and challenges. The roles that race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomics and culture play in shaping your identity are honored and valued.
Professional Counseling
With a background of more than 20 years working in advertising, commercial production, film production and music, I have extensive experience with artists and creatively-minded entrepreneurs. I am intimately familiar with high-pressure competitive environments, what they demand, and how to ground oneself in order to function at your highest capacity in such a professional culture. Having worked as a private contractor in production and advertising throughout New York City and globally, I am skilled in negotiation, self-advocacy, communication and conflict resolution. We will work collaboratively to help you identify and follow the path that is right for you.
