About

When you face a challenge, do you become your own worst enemy? Do you put yourself down, rather than put your best foot forward? When attracted to someone, or an exciting new job prospect, or a difficult task at your present job, do you hear an inner, paralytic voice saying you can never succeed? And does that send you into a funk—rather than pump you up to succeed?

I can help you rewrite the "schemas" that hold you back, by exploring how they got written, in the first place, how your inner personas feel they somehow benefit you, and work through their emotional-cognitive bases, to help you build a better life.
