Welcome!
These pages describe my professional services defined primarily by my psychotherapy practice. I have diverse interests which lead me to practice a number of diverse activities that leaf off from the main branch.
My home page pictures a branch with eight leaves of different varieties. This image illustrates my beliefs about diversity and change.
Diversity
I value diversity, both biological and human. It is a proven fact that biological diversity is necessary for the health and evolution of our planet. Similarly, I believe that human diversity is necessary for the health and continued evolution of our human species. Different leaves growing from the same branch represent the differences of people on this planet, yet all coming from the same source.
Change
All of the leaves pictures are in a transitional state of change. They were collected in the Fall season in Geneva, Switzerland. They signify a change of seasons; a resting and renewal period for the trees; the continuing cycle of change; and the dying process which allows new growth and rebirth to begin again. I believe the same change process is necessary for people to reach their full potential. We need to embrace and welcome change in our lives and work to make the mental and behavioural adjustments necessary to keep up with them.
Resistance
For many people, however, change and diversity are sometimes hard to accept. Differences among people are seldom celebrated with complete acceptance. Our adjustment comes slowly with a grasping-on to what is known and a fear of what is not known. The external world impacts our internal universe, causing rumblings and tremors and shifts in the "immovable rock" of our being. We sometimes lose our bearings; our compass needles spin and we feel out of control.
Assistance
This might be a good time to contact an individual such as myself. The mental health services I offer will help you get centered again in your present reality, while at the same time, help you prepare for the changes that lay just beyond the horizon. Even though that sounds contradictory, it is not. For it is only when we are attuned to ourself in this present moment, with acceptance of ourself, that we can use our skills and abilities to their maximum potential to guide ourself into the future. The holistic nature of my services allows you to explore with me the myriad aspects of your self, from the physical to the spiritual; from the social to the psychological, with comfort and confidence.
Browse my services at your leisure. If you do not find what you are looking for, contact me, because I have not covered every aspect of my services on these pages. If I cannot help you, I will try to direct you to someone who can.
