Guiding Principles of Practice

I offer assistance to couples and individuals who want to understand and respond differently to the problems they are facing. I believe their success is defined by how they choose to think, feel and take action differently -- in the present and future. That's the best evidence I know of that the problems they link to the past are being resolved.

My goals are to develop an accurate picture of who you are, understand the problems you present, and effectively address them. This takes an active, collaborative, problem-solving alliance. I create direct questions to get closer to your life and experience, and to learn how you affect others.

I will take care to speak with you truthfully and simply. This kind of connection (as an individual or as a partner client) is designed to help you understand your feelings, stimulate your thinking, and see your progress clearly by what you do differently.

I invite your call or e-mail to discuss practice principles and approach in more detail. On the other web pages, you will see brief descriptions of my areas of practice(see Resources) that may help you, and more about my background and training.
