I am delighted that you have found my
web site! Did you know that only HEALTHY people have the courage to
question their situations and problems and look for solutions? That
means that already we know that if you are reading this, you
are healthy. Being "healthy" means that you can learn new
information and apply it to problem-solving.
My office is full of people like you who
are looking for practical solutions to difficult and uncomfortable
problems.
Some people think that they might be
depressed--or know that they are. Others are anxious about our
unsettling times. The feelings that they may have affect their
lives in destructive ways--most specifically their relationships.
People who know how to talk to each
other can get through anything. However, people need to know HOW to
connect with each other . They also must have brain chemistry that
functions with enough serotonin to provide an optimistic outlook.
The opposite of enough serotonin is depression.
Depression affects individuals and whole
families, as does anxiety. These emotions can cause people to do
foolish things which can break up families.
I am helping people to work through
challenges with resolution. I help people to develop a clear
understanding of the problem that they are having. Sometimes the
'symptoms" look like the problem.
Once the real "problem" has been
identified, I work with clients to find practical, behavioral, and
values-based solutions that cause their relationships to improve.
The important point here is that what we
DO with what we FEEL is key. Simply identifying what we FEEL is not
enough to improve ou r lives or our relationships. Identifying what
to do with feelings as opposed to simply identifying feelings is the
key to working through crisis situations. This makes it possible to
stay in relationships as opposed to leaving the relationship and
taking unresolved issues to another partner or situation..
In my office, I see individuals,
couples, and families. My focus is both problem-solving and
empowering.
I teach a four-point model for couples
which is highly successful..
