My lifelong curiosity has been to understand what it means to be a human being. My own path of discovery began in a family marked by distinct advantages and also marred by dysfunction, abuse and neglect. I was unable to shake intense emotional suffering, find an intimate relationship that was right for me, or find meaningful and fulfilling work. When I realized I could not make my way through these issues on my own I decided to consult a psychotherapist. I have since discovered an ever deeper sense of self, a keener perception of reality, a healing self-compassion, and harmonious work and relationship. From a stronger connection to self, others and life, I have regained and expanded my capacity for the whole range of human experience. When we make the decision to invest awareness in ourselves, we begin to see how our choices and patterns affect our lives. These may be life affirming or they may reveal hidden hurts, beliefs, and defenses where opportunities exist for learning, healing, and growth. Through these deliberate observations, we move to the driver seat in our life from the passenger seat. We can know ourselves and our challenges intimately, use self-understanding consciously to transform wounds into wisdom and compassion, and participate intentionally in the evolution of ourselves, our relationships, our family, community, and of humanity. And all you need to begin the journey inward is to take the first courageous step of reaching out for help.
