We live in mysterious and difficult times, times of spiritual emergence, times of great collective and individual suffering, times of breaking free from the limiting belief systems of the past, and learning how to carry forward the best of our heritage, as we slowly and painstakingly come together to forge a more just and sustainable world.
My life's work is about understanding and supporting this process in the individual psyche and in communities around the world. I am an educator, writer, psychotherapist, and spiritual counselor. It has been my joy for over 30 years now to accompany people on their path of becoming stronger, more true, more real.

My work integrates mindfulness-based understanding of moment-to-moment human resilience with an overall developmental and psychodynamic perspective on whole-person healing and development. I believe that psychological and spiritual health are inseparable, and that healing requires us to work with the brain, the mind, the body, and the soul, as well as with transforming the sociocultural contexts which generate suffering.
In these times of unsettling transition into a global society under conditions often tenuous, fragile, and unpredictable, the age-old human quest for meaning and connectedness has acquired a new sense of urgency.

Can you see and feel in this picture the active force of attraction to beauty, unity, and growth that we call love? To love and feel loved are human needs as fundamental as our need for sustenance and shelter. Our capacity to respond to another with love is innate and can be clearly seen in the natural empathy of little children toward living things.
My thinking about the construct of critical consciousness began inductively, through trying to organize and name my personal experience and observations around questions of social responsibility and citizenship while living and working in several different societies and cultures: Bulgaria, where I was born and grew up, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, Zimbabwe, and the United States.
From a neurobiological perspective, a lot of psychotherapy is about re-building the social brain. An important part of becoming whole and integrating the self has to do with identifying and clearing unconscious core beliefs, which undermine us emotionally and physically, and distract us from coming fully into ourselves.
