In life, a simple truth is that there is no growth without difficulties; growth requires that we have something about ourselves to change.  Moreover, no one has ever grown well without the support and care of others.  As a Human Development Educator, it is my great honor to support the growth of my clients, as they learn to master critical struggles.

My approach is practical, instructive, and compassionate, focusing on how to get relief, by thinking clearly and comprehensively about the difficulties in your life.  I work with individuals who are motivated to grow their way out of the negative habits that keep us stuck in cycles of depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic stress, and interpersonal conflicts.  I work with families striving to learn how to resolve conflict, based on emotional composure arising from effective self-governance.  I work with organizations committed to developing policies and practices that balance mission with the healthy human development of their workforce.

My methodology is contemplative, centered on teaching how it is that unconscious patterns at the root of negative habits in how we think and feel promote conflict at the expense of positive self-worth, healthy families, and well-functioning organizations. By practicing self-observation, my clients learn to recognize these patterns, and build the strength to transform them into positive, health-supporting habits, through the power of conscious choice-making.

My philosophy is that the best guidance for any challenge we may face must be elegantly simple, yet powerfully comprehensive, allowing for wide-ranging application of a few core concepts.  Accordingly, the practical concepts that I teach are simple tools to help you better organize how you think about the complex issues that challenge you, so that you can better manage how you feel, and thereby, how you behave.
