I learned that couples’ problems could arise from a subtle absence of knowledge, awareness or emotional support, and perceptions of anticipated abandonment. I found that it can be more useful to help a partner to identify and address the significant needs of self rather than to work at changing the behavior of the child or significant other. I also discovered that, to work well with children and teens in particular, it was necessary to be emotionally present and authentic. I have found out that teens almost always can recognize a lie. It’s not even worth being insincere to a teen: they can detect a false adult when one comes in the door. I believe being authentic is necessary when working with any population.

I hope this has given you a birds-eye view of me and what I do. It’s my belief that if you are involved in a search to become freer, to stop hiding yourself away or to become more of who are, that act in itself is curative. Please know that my door is always open.
I look forward to meeting you.
