Welcome to our coaching practice!
While I offer many types of coaching styles, my passion is for alchemical coaching. Strange as it may first sound, this approach is very powerful in helping people achieve their goal (gold)!
In our alchemical laboratory you will learn about our work in Alchemical Psychology and how it applies to your individual growth and creative ways of transforming your life. Dream analysis, active imagination and alchemical elemental practice are just a few of these techniques that draw from alchemical principles and practices. Your mind, body and soul are your alchemical life laboratory – we do not do physical alchemy.
We use Jungian Psychology in alchemical coaching as a lens through which to see and understand what the alchemists were really saying in their cryptic writings and symbolic images. Like a dream that at first makes no sense, and then, having translated its symbolic messages, we realize what our Unconscious is offering in terms of guidance and insights.
We all have this ability and we all have the potential to transform our lead into the gold of a more fulfilling life. In addition to coaching, I also offer seminars and workshops on many Jungian topics, everything from Shadow work to Synchronicity. You can also take a look at my videos and books as well as many other publications in leading Jungian journals.
The first half of my life was spent in New York. We lived in Brooklyn, Coney Island, Staten Island and Long Island – lots of islands!! My first break with the city came when I moved to the Berkshires in upstate New York where I fell deeply in love with Nature. My next move was to California where I live and work. I started traveling early, and have visited some extraordinary places including India, Egypt, Europe, the Far East and South America. Wherever I went I found traces of alchemy and ways to transform life.
Being a psychologist and alchemical coach, my passion is psychological alchemy, a discipline developed by C. G. Jung. I’ve extended his work by adding practical applications to help people facilitate their individuation process – expressing your full potential. This work includes dream analysis, active imagination, psych type and alchemical mythology.
My work is NOT new age! Fulfilling your potential involves a process of working with the unconscious in service of creatively dealing with everyday challenges. Relationships, work and career, transitions and finding meaning in life are all the prima materia, the stuff of transformation that’s waiting for you to change your life!
