Specialties
The decision to seek help is not always easy, and for those who doing this for the first time it can be monumental. I encourage you to speak with other counselors and therapists on the phone to get a feel if they can be a fit with you and to see if they possess the knowledge and experience to help you.
Over the course of time, my approach has evolved as my skills have become more refined. I also pay great attention to the times we live in, especially the political, cultural and technological zeitgeists. Human problems and issues do not occur in a vacuum. As much as it is important to understand, the emotional and psychological aspects of the self, it is also important to understand the world that one lives in, especially those relationships that we are dependent upon-work, partners, friend, family, and institutions.
Life appears to be much busier and complex than when I first started working in this profession. The quickness of communication and accessibility to information, wonderful innovations, is also the rub of stress and demands that didn't exist 30 years ago.
My Professional work includes Consultation, Counseling, Coaching, and Psychotherapy. However, whatever modalities I use will reflect the needs and the person's personality style.
History
Established in 2000.
In the last 17 years, I have worked in the area of custody of divorce, an incredibly difficult and painful process for all families. As a past custody evaluator, I have great knowledge and experience in working with high-conflict divorce, PAS, and other emotional and psychological stresses and strain that stem from painful separations. I currently work as a Co-parenting Counselor, Family Reunification specialist, and Mediator.
Finally, I like to think of myself as a straight shooter and will not hold back my viewpoint. I like to cut to the chase and get to the essence of what ails. The initial session is not just a conversation on the issues, but in establishing rapport and trust. Life is learning, and I do my best to impart helpful information that can be derived from my knowledge of the subject matter, my years of experience as a therapist, and my years of experience as a human being.
