Psychotherapy and coaching—adding a new dimension to my therapy practice
Last year, I took a year-long coaching training, Applied Existential Coaching, facilitated by my long-time Gestalt consultants. When I signed up for this training I wasn’t sure of my intention, although I was drawn to explore how I might officially incorporate coaching into my therapy practice. As I think of my journey as a therapist, […]
Grief and forgiveness
Dear Reader,
I recently lost my brother, Glenn, my one remaining immediate family member, to a courageous battle with cancer. It started in 2015 with his first diagnosis of esophageal cancer and ended with metastasized throat and tongue cancer.
It was a challenging journey with this brother, one of two. At times we were very close, sharing […]
Joy
When we came into 2021 over 10 months ago, now, it seems we had a fantasy that it would be a new year with new hope, since 2020 was behind us. 2021 has proved to be an extension of 2020, blowing our fantasy.
COVID still lurks, with the Delta variant creating more ambiguity about how […]
Turning Toward One Another II
I was out with two friends not long ago at an outdoor dance performance. The venue was packed and the air was celebratory. As with numerous, if not most, concerts and performances, this event was cancelled last year due to COVID. The majority of attendees, including myself, were not wearing masks. Oh, the freedom […]
Choice
I just finished reading one of the best books I have read in a long time, maybe ever: The Choice, Embrace the Possible, by Dr. Edith Eva Eger. This is her memoir, beginning with her young life, her journey of surviving Auschwitz and gaining her freedom to live her life to the fullest. She is […]
Intention for the new year: 2021
Dear Reader,

Both Saturn and Jupiter will be entering Aquarius, coming together in what is known as the Great Conjunction. This is visible in the night sky. Saturn and […]
Turning from “me” to “we”
Dear Reader,
I was listening to a podcast by an Ayurvedic doctor who is also an astrologer this week. He said that according to Vedic astrology, this time of the US election combined with COVID is a time of extreme transformation, like we haven’t seen in 600 years. He said that it’s a time of turning […]
Social engagement, now more than ever
Dear Reader,
We are now approaching the seventh month of COVID 19 with little hope of coming out of it anytime soon. At first, after the apocalyptic fear passed and people stocked up on toilet paper, it was novel. It gave us permission to not have to go anywhere. Many of us slept better. We became […]
Present Moment Gratitude
Dear reader,
I’m pretty sure that most everyone would agree that this time of the pandemic, since Friday, March 13 (which for me was Black Friday), has been very challenging, right? Personally, I felt a break from it at the end of May into June, when things were opening up where I live in Colorado. […]
