I'll meet you half way

At sixty, I can say I've been around the block a time or two. Like you, I've had my shares of ups and downs, victories and defeats. But my story sets the stage for a session full of insight and opportunity. Here's what I offer.

​

My style of individual counseling to adults consists of attending areas with most pain, first. Many come to therapy. desperate for relief. Then we develop a plan to maintain a steady path so that you can function and excel. My style is relational in nature, since most of what we learn, good or bad, comes from our engagement with others, In the office you learn to activate healthier relational skills such as trust, boundaries, and personal voice.

​

Couples often have hidden patterns that not only rob the relationship of potential success but also strain individual voice. Partners are not meant to lose themselves in the process. Nor are they made to rescue one another. Our sessions address these most resistant of places in the psyche and then reconstruct new patterns so that both parties feel self-empowered and share a sense of celebration as adults who honor.

​

Men have it hard these days, but don't take this as pitty. Trying to find who we are in a world that tells us who we should be is confusing. You must have courage to be your own man. And believe you men, many men lack this courage and walk around with a facade that poses as confidence. Together, we can get you to feel comfortable in your own skin.

​

Spirituality is a big component to my life and work. I'm not interested in what you call yourself. I appreciate all spiritual traditions and religions that honor the betterment of the world. I, myself, lean toward Consciousness, mysticism and esotericism. We are more than the brain. This ability to transcend the material and discover pure power is often missing in our narrative and, sad to say, in various caring professions. I can help you bring it back into your story and your personal and professional future.

​

I put some spiritual interest and energy into helping adults who have been wounded in a space they once considered sacred. Emotional abuse within the context of a church or group is very real to a percentage of the population. Having studied heavily in religion, human behavior, and trauma, I supply a framework for you to recover and establish anew your relationship with the divine.

​

You can also see an example of my spiritual work in teaching of yoga. Since we are all energy, spirit, or part of a greater Source, we have greater connection to "Other". Through breath work, hand and body postures, meditation, and chanting we can connect to this Other and apply its rich potency to our personal, relational, and professional lives.

​

Unusual Phenomena

I provide support the unusual. As hospice chaplain, I offered spiritual care to patients and their families during those moments of transitioning. During my services, I not only saw the medical side of dying but also unusual end of life experiences that suggested that patients were not alone. Moreover, I also explore After Death Communication and related experiences reported by surviving members. If you've had a "sign", dream, touch on the shoulder, or a felt sense of your deceased loved one, you know what I mean.

 

As an investigator in the paranormal and one who takes interest in near death experience (NDE), I apply psychotherapy with careful regard for your experiences. I've studied extensively in paranormal activity in places like the Rhine Education Center in North Carolina and understand your language well. With regard to NDE, while I have not experienced a near death experience, I can intertwine your experience and psychotherapy to enrich your narrative. I don't think you're crazy.

For Caregiving Professionals

Having served in hospice for 15 years, written over a doze articles and three books, and given workshops (some for CE) locally and nationally, I offer training to students and fully licensed professionals--mental health and healthcare disciplines, death doulas, chaplains, and yoga instructors--on how to approach and guide patients and clients into a most dreadful subject.

​

I also provide mentorship and consultation to mental health professionals who wish to integrate spirituality, specifically mysticism and esotericism, into their psychotherapy practice. Such weaving isn't as difficult as it seems and one can maintain distinction between what is and isn't officially recognized psychotherapy without losing the potency created when the two are combined to address the whole of human experience.

​

Insurance

​

I do not take insurance. This method has worked well for me as I strive to ensure the highest level of confidentiality.
