I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

At times the support my clients need doesn't require deep emotional or psychological work. They may want to learn how to do something differently and/or want someone to make them accountable. Whatever your desired goal may be, I will guide and support you reaching it.
Sometimes we need more than a gentle space to process. Sometimes we need active life coaching. We explore your values, wants and needs, highlight goals, and brainstorm concrete approaches to achieve those goals, with pressure placed in appropriate amounts.
We come alongside people and help them develop the relational intelligence to embrace life and their relationships constructively so that they experience satisfaction and fulfillment. Life Coaching is goal oriented, and present and future focused.
I am an achiever myself through very challenging circumstances and unlikely odds for success. We all possess the potential to go beyond our current circumstances and I can guide this blossoming of personal, professional, and relationship growth with concrete results.
Hypnotherapy is an excellent way to gain personal insight, not just of your conscious goals but your subconscious motivations. When those align you can move forward with needed changes with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
I have worked with people therapeutically 35+ years.
I have been married for over 40 years, and raised 2 kids.
I have worked a regular job to make a living and provide for my family.
I am rock solid in physical reality, and also a romantic visionary and can translate between the two worlds.

I have experience working with clients who are in a career or life transition, making life transitional changes and choices, looking at deeper values and questions in their life including spirituality and life purpose, concrete life goals in the present, and much more. I approach life coaching holistically considering mind-body-spirit wellness - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
Coaching is an aspect of our practice, especially gender coaching, in helping people who are not struggling with psychological difficulties, but trying to find their way forward into more productive, happy and fulfilling lives.
