I serve as a counselor, coach and consultant to individuals, couples, families seeking to make change. My approach is integrative insofar as I utilize practices from different approaches depending on what works for the client and what can be scientifically validated from the field of neuroscience; the work may involve verbal and/or somatic interventions to address problems and opportunities. I consider validation or empathy to be an important foundation for the work. Insight and awareness can also be critical; however, I also stress the need to try new actions to break old patterns that no longer work but are known and familiar.
Given my previous career as a business executive, I am particularly adept at providing coaching and counseling services to those undergoing work, family, and life transitions. I welcome the opportunity to construct with each client "homework" to practice change in a way that balances the tension between staying in the comfort zone and going beyond it.
