Going beyond traditional types of talk therapy

Life often doesn’t go the way we thought it would or wanted it to. When we confront these moments, we stand at a crossroads with countless choices before us. What we choose profoundly shapes the quality of our lives to come.

My work with couples and individuals, as outlined on this website, centers around facilitating and actualizing this pivotal choice, employing the most effective and efficient methods I’ve refined over time.

I’m glad you’re here and invite you to look around.  You’ll discover approaches rooted in my belief that my job is to work myself out of a job . Together, we’ll pinpoint where you currently stand, identify your strengths, and build on those to overcome what may have turned into self-limiting habits you can’t now see.

I say this from my experience, having walked this path with countless individuals over the decades.  You’re likely closer to where you want to be than you think – in all aspects of your life including in your relationships with the people with whom you share your world.

Ultimately, for all of us, it’s about liberating ourselves from self-imposed constraints — the invisible prisons we construct — making decisions and taking actions to craft new realities filled with possibility, purpose, and meaning. It’s the choice to Get Busy Living.

If you and your partner are looking for help to:

  • Strengthen and grow in your relationship
  • Recover from a specific betrayal
  • Make an important decision like moving to a new location or building a life in retirement
  • Heal a long history of emotional hurts like a thousand little paper cuts
  • Find a way to separate and do so amicably for all

If you are a compassionate person, trying to be a better one, do you want to:

  • Communicate more effectively in all your relationships — personal and work?
  • Learn why people in your life do the things they do?
  • Learn what you can do to improve your relationships and your life?
  • Get past your past – an old belief or attitude about yourself or others that now limits you?
  • Be relieved of trauma from one major event or from ongoing betrayals — even if those things occurred long ago?

At every moment we face an infinite number of opportunities to create a greater
meaning in our life.
