I have been working with clients in the area of optimal flow and function since 1984, in private practice in New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and now the Denver/Boulder region. I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology as well as holding numerous licenses and certifications in a number of fields.
I have trained professional actors, dancers, and singers, opera and pop singers; professional athletes, Wall Street brokers, business executives and managers, and public speakers; therapists of every stripe and those in the medical arts; students, and really whoever needed to perform at their personal best in stressed environments, whether for vocation or avocation.
I am known for establishing immediate trust, and a solid rapport with my clients- which by the way studies show is an essential factor in determining whether you will benefit from our work together. Research indicates very clearly that the depth of the therapeutic relationship is a key factor of whether you will see lasting benefits.
Additionally…
I have personal experience as an actor and singer in the very competitive environment of New York City, as well as 20 years experience in the martial arts and meditative arts which principles modern Olympic level coaches, sports psychologists, and professional athletic coaches now teach to help achieve the concentration and relaxation so necessary for such competitive environments. Optimal flow can be developed over time,
I have discovered directly and personally many of the keys to optimal flow. I utilize both Eastern and Western approaches in helping you develop toward your highest potential. I developed and performed a one-man show in N.Y. City over a period of more than 5 years and so know first hand the pressure to perform at my best, and thus how to transform stress into usable, beneficial energy toward optimum performance.
The feedback I regularly get is that I am respectful, non-aggressive, can relate to you normally, bring my life experience to the table, and am able to make non-judgmental observations in a manner which you will be able to assimilate easily. I am also able to listen well and focus on the goals that you set in our work together.
I would love to assist you to perform at your optimal best! This work will help anyone who wishes to improve their flow and function in life, be it from the recreational athlete to the sports competitor- the performing artist to the public speaker- the account executive to the personal assistant- from the student to anyone who wants more presence of mind & body and an ability maintain calm, relaxed and yet alert awareness. Obstacles that have been in the way will begin to suprisingly drop away.
