About Me
My life path took me on an unexpected new trajectory ten years ago when I suddenly hung up my carpenter’s tool belt and returned to school for the purpose of becoming a helping professional. I was going through a divorce at the time. I have two teenaged children, a daughter named Estelle, and a son named Moses.
My approach to therapy combines spiritual, scientific (quantum physics), and psychological truths. I attempt to convey to clients that what we perceive as problems are just thoughts in our minds, entirely within our power to change. Over the years I have developed a particular strength and passion for guiding couples in authentic, loving, and constructive communication to navigate misunderstandings effectively. I possess a flavor of intuition which follows the laws of emotions. You could say I understand the nature of emotional dynamics. I share lots of my musings on this subject both here and in my book, which will hopefully to be published in 2025.
My work with couples who are experiencing relationship struggles (a microcosm) has opened the way to a philosophical approach to the greater societal influences (macrocosm). To insulate my own subjective experience from the intrusive cultural and societal narrative of separation, I have found a way to resist the intrusion of other peoples’ thoughts so that my moods are not vulnerable to the twists and turns of a world undergoing increased chaos and instability. I often tell my clients that what happens in the internal space (one’s psyche) is reflected on the external level of form (one’s life experiences). I teach people constructive systems for communication, which are aligned with ecological truths. Communication is a system of information transfer. All systems have an ecology. The laws of ecology extend to all the various systems, be they nature, economy, politics, or romantic and other special relationships. My teaching aligns with my spiritual path, A Course in Miracles (ACIM), a channeled work from the 1960’s into the early 70’s. The author of A Course in Miracles was Jesus, who, no longer being in possession of a body, made use of Helen Schucman’s hands to bring his teachings to the world. It’s an extremely comforting message, and in times like these, comfort is needed, and available for your taking. My work here will be to make available the Universally True principles which A Course in Miracles (as well as other spiritual traditions). I focus almost entirely on ACIM as my chosen spiritual path. The principles I offer don’t conflict with other spiritual traditions, but they do sometimes add concepts to those other traditions. To my knowledge there is no more recent update to the whole Truth than ACIM, and Truth does need updates from time to time, just as the New Testament was an update, or amendment for the Old Testament. ACIM could be looked at as “the Newest Testament” of God. When you get closer to God, it is like flying above the clouds. You are no longer impressionable to the whims of the earth’s emotional turbulence and unpredictability, the climate and weather. From up there, everything seems fine because it is fine.
