The problems we experience in our relationships with others are among the major sources of pain in human life. The central focus in my work is to help people explore their unique life experience and make sense of their difficulties in a way which is both deeply meaningful and healing. The focus in "Inquiring Deeply" is deepening your understanding of your emotional life.
By exploring your relationship with other people, you cultivate self-awareness; by exploring your relationship with yourself, you cultivate more harmonious relationships with others. It is only when we can be sufficiently intimate with ourselves that we can be comfortable with others.

Deep self-inquiry is part of my essential nature. I have always been interested in exploring personal problems and have had a lifelong commitment both to 'working on myself' and learning how to help others. Towards that end, I have spent the better part of three decades studying and practicing both psychoanalysis and Buddhist insight meditation (Vipassana).
The focus in psychotherapy is deepening your understanding of your emotional life by helping you to look deep within. Regardless of the particular problems you are facing - and regardless of your symptoms or diagnosis- for most people the major issue boils down to an inability to face negative emotion and embrace change.
Blending the knowledge of contemporary psychoanalysis with the wisdom of Buddhist view, Inquiring Deeply explores how mindfulness can be integrated into psychodynamic treatment as an aspect of self-reflection rather than as a cognitive behavioral technique or intervention.
Inquiring Deeply investigates how problems are constructed and shows how mindfulness and other 'self-reflective awareness practices' can be used strategically in psychodynamic treatment to amplify and unpack psychological experience.Written for Buddhist-minded psychotherapists and psychologically-minded Buddhist practitioners alike, Inquiring Deeply describes a method for practicing with problems in the Buddhist sense of the word practice.
