Psychological Counseling and Coaching for Capable People Who Want More out of their Relationships and their Lives

Focus of Work

We use short-term, get-the-job-done methods, including some of the new, cutting edge, energy-psychology therapies. Our principal focus is on you in the present, as you create a better future for yourself.

My business is helping capable women and men who feel stuck.

I bring to my practice a range of experience in psychological counseling, addiction, life coaching, university teaching, business and a lot of living.

Perhaps more importantly, I am a happy, positive person in a fulfilling 30-year relationship with my artist wife, Eileen. My positive outlook is in spite of, as a child, having experienced abduction, sexual abuse, torture, poverty and losing my father in an air crash and my mother in a car crash. My sense of wellbeing is also in spite of, as an adult, having experienced two failed marriages, being separated from my children, my brother suiciding, business failure and bankruptcy, and three of my adult children dying. (All three had a history substance abuse.) I do know how to bounce back and I do know the difference between triumph and tragedy.

Individuals and couples come for help when they are feeling stuck. Besides helping them shed unwanted negative emotion, I help them restore hope and clarity of thought.

Many clients have gained new insights and have grown in consciousness and spirituality. Some have improved in physical health as they shifted their focus in more positive directions.

My mission is to help men and women be more self-aware and live happier, more fulfilling lives in marriages that sing. And believe me, I know the difference.

Here are a few questions you could reflect on
before we decide to work together:

• Do you feel disconnected from your partner and need help in reconnecting?
• Do you feel stuck in a stale marriage?
• Are you or your partner fighting alcoholism?
  
  
• Are you unsatisfied with AA, but still need help?
• Has your life and/or your relationship lost meaning?
  
  
• Have you been through an extreme trauma and your marriage is suffering?
• Are you suffering from the loss of a loved one?
• Are you single again and having difficulty adjusting?
• Did your marriage end in divorce?
• Does your future look dim?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, feel stuck and would like to get unstuck, then read on. My role is helping capable people who feel stuck.

Over the years many people have come to me for help. Some have found peace and happiness they didn’t believe possible. Many now experience joy in their lives.

Numerous couples in marital conflict are now able to communicate better and are happier in their marriages. Triggers are reduced and the love is rekindled.

Other couples have sought help in separating with dignity and mutual respect for their diverging futures. They were able to move on without the guilt and shame that was keeping them stuck.

Women and men with alcohol-abuse problems have put those problems behind them. Some have had to stop drinking completely, while others have been able to resume occasional social drinking without a problem.

Women living with an alcohol-abusing spouse have emerged from feeling hopelessly stuck and codependent to feeling empowered to make choices. With their own personal changes have come changes in the spouse, sometimes after many years of heavy drinking.

Office Hours

By appointment on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, day and evening.  For select clients,  telephone and internet work can be arranged.

Cost of Service

The cost of services depend very much on what level of results you want and expect. You might ask yourself questions like, “What would it be worth to feel happy in my marriage again?” We work quickly, so even if locally I am the most expensive, you may find I am the cheapest.

New: Under Development for mid 2009

• A program for the individual whose partner is abusing alcohol. (A six- to nine-month program.)
• A program for problem drinkers/functioning alcoholics who have quit drinking, but who recognize that their bigger task is reinventing themselves, their marriages, and perhaps even their professional lives. (A one-year program.)

If would like more information on either of these programs, get on my mailing list and watch for announcements.

Do contact me by telephone or email to discuss whether my services would fit your needs.
