Bio
...................................................................................................................................................
My
vocation began in 1974 as a Scientific Researcher at the
University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, now called Radboud University, after receiving a Drs. degree
in Sociology, with minors in Social Psychiatry and Criminology. I studied Criminology with Prof. Dr. C.I. Dessaur, also known as the brilliant
writer Andreas Burnier.
I added some time as a Scientific
Researcher at the Institute for Applied Sociology in Nijmegen.
Then I got Certifications in Psychotherapy, Psychodrama and
Group Psychotherapy from the Institute for Psychotherapy
in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
For seven years I worked with institutionalized
criminals
and as a Consultant for Mental Health
Professionals.
In
1985 I made the move from Amsterdam to New York City and
received a three year, full-time training and Certification
in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy of the Blanton Peale Institute
of the Institutes of Religion and Health. The Blanton-Peale
Institute is nonsectarian and non- denominational, founded
by Reverend Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and psychiatrist Smiley
Blanton.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale is the author of many works,
amongst them The Power of Positive Thinking. Simultaneously
I trained to be an Imago Relationship Therapist (certified in 1992).
I hold the
status of Advanced Clinician of the Institute for Relationship
Therapy in New York, founded by Helen LaKelly Hunt and Harville Hendrix, now called Imago Relations International.
I am a member of the American Association
for Pastoral Counselors, since the late eighties.
For most of my life I researched Ancient and Perennial Wisdom, Metaphysics in general, as well as the lives and works of the best, the beacons, the engines of every generation on earth.
After conducting a psychotherapy private practice in the San Remo building
in New York City for almost two decades, I longed to facilitate undivided awareness and prosperity, through working with the whole person, as well as the entire web of interrelated circumstances of that person.
Discontentment,
affliction, conflict, stuckness, it all stems from a divided or incomplete condition.
Since the goal is complete being and ultimate accomplishment, I decided to bridge the divide between the compartments of sociology, psychoanalysis, relationship therapy, spirituality and genius.
My intend was to get out of the limiting, confining box of each field and create new unified wisdom out of the ultimate knowledge of all the fields, to enhance current methods and get better, faster results.
I show people stirring possibilities
where they can't see them for themselves just yet.
Then we use active imagination to open up new vistas. I also use an acute perception, a sharp 6th sense as a tool. I tune into the energy of the person, situation or relation(s) and read an X ray of obstacles.
The title Destiny Consultant represents the unique, holistic way of unlocking prosperity and creating new destiny. We don’t walk the beaten path, we walk your path only. Your essence is calling the shots.
