My life has been about finding my way out of the mess and discovering the secrets that bring happiness and lasting love. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but my 28 years of assisting people have given me some secrets that few have access to.

As is commonplace for us humans, I had a very difficult time in childhood. The things I learned in childhood about loving myself, healthy communication, and healthy relating were mostly inadequate, often destructive.

I had a lot of unlearning to do. I realized in early adulthood that I would get nowhere in life if I didn’t address my defective childhood learning and pain. That unlearning and relearning is what my life is all about. As I’ve grown, healed, and learned, I’ve been in a position to pass along my wisdom to others.

Although I’m professionally trained, I became disenchanted with the mental health profession as early as undergraduate school in the late 70s. As well-intentioned and capable as some people in the profession are, I believe that, overall, the mental health profession is failing the general public. It can also be said that the general public is failing to adequately support the mental health system.

In the spring of 1982, I had a series of life-altering spiritual experiences that, among other things, inspired the development of my work. These experiences inspired a passion and a vision for a world that is free from unnecessary disconnection, isolation, and suffering. The experiences also provided me with some gifts of intuition, empathic sensitivity, and healing.

Since my spiritual awakening, I have been coaching individuals, couples, and families. I have also developed and led classes and workshops on the topics of: relationship strategies, healthy communication, emotional health, advanced anger and argument solutions, making good choices in relationships, and spirituality.

As early as 15 years old, I began a search for something to help me feel better, and to help me understand myself and other people. My Mother was a key influence because she was into spirituality (not religious beliefs) and personal growth. At age 18, my Mother and I participated in Silva Mind Method. Spirituality and personal growth has been my life. Most every week of every year for 40+ years I have been involved in some form of education, workshop, or class. 

The single most significant person to influence my life and work, and who ignited my spiritual awakening, is Werner Erhard. I participated in his courses or classes most every week from 1982-2006. (His work was sold and became Landmark Education, and now Landmark Worldwide)

Other key influencers on my growth and my work have been authors Dr. Harville Hendrix (Imago Therapy for couples and the influence of childhood), Dr. John Bradshaw (healing childhood), Barry Neil Kaufman (The Option Institute), Jordan and Margaret Paul (relationship communication), Dr. Ron Smothermon (practical spirituality, self-awareness, and relationships), Dr. Jess Lair, Dr. Peter Levine (understanding the survival brain and addressing trauma), any and all authors on NDE’s and spiritual experiences), Marilyn Chase (growth and relationship courses), and Dr. Carl Rogers (one of the founders of the humanistic approach to psychology)

(For other strong influences, see bottom of this page)

There are four main passions in my life and in my work that draw me forward.

My intention and commitment to you is that you have a relationship that is not bogged down by unresolved conflict and emotional upsets, but that you have a partnership where you and your partner love being with one another, and your relationship inspires those you touch.

And further, my intention and commitment is that you are confident that the love in your relationship will last.
