Personal Statement
I believe that I have a gift for helping people through very difficult situations including the complex dynamics in relationships. My gift is intuition. In general, that means that I have a deep intensity of perception. I cant read your mind; thats not what I mean. For me, intuition is seeing the connections between past, present and future, recognizing and identifying patterns, and helping people discover their ideal self.
Because Ive been at this a while, I have also developed the ability to help my clients focus on here-and-now solutions. Sometimes people get lost in the swirling abstraction of emotions and thoughts that keep them stuck. Action is the key to change. Taking steps. Managing every moment. Making sound decisions.
I am compassionate. I am a feeling type, warm and affirming. But sometimes the help you need includes being challenged to evaluate how you may be accidentally, unknowingly perpetuating the problems in your life. My clients seem to truly appreciate my down-to-earth and straight-forward style. I dont get fancy. I dont use big words. I keep things simple and easy to understand, but my approach is based on a very proficient understanding of the best in personality theory and counseling methods. Many have commented that I seem like a regular guy but I always know where I want to take you in the process of therapy.
