Welcome

This site is about psychotherapy, personal change, growth, responsibility and hope.

Life isn't easy. It's not fair. And parents aren't perfect. None of us get out of childhood without some poor decisions that affect us in profound ways.

Working as a psychotherapist, I see the results of this every day in my clients. Anxiety disorders, phobias, panic, depression, eating disorders, failing relationships, poor career choices, low self esteem, and family problems are just a few of the challenges I see walk through the door. Psychotherapy helps.

So the purpose of this website is to educate, and support past, present, and future psychotherapy clients - and anyone else who is interested in changing. I use Transactional Analysis, Redecision Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Nurtured Heart Approach, Seemorg Matrix, and Emotional Freedom Technique, so that's what I talk about.

Here's what's on this site.

Transactional Analysis	TA for short is a way to understand yourself and others. It helps you solve personal problems and problems between people. I use it all the time both professionally and personally. It is great.
Cognitive Therapy	This is a way of doing therapy that I like. It works well. The medical world loves it, and it works nicely with TA.
Redecision Therapy	Redecision Therapy is a wonderful blend of Gestalt and TA designed to be client centered, action oriented, solution focused brief therapy. It is especially effective on those “core beliefs” and “schema changes” that give rise to feelings of unworthiness, and low loveablity.
Nurtured Heart Approach	Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a set of interpersonal skills that help people interact with children in effective, caring ways. NHA is especially effective for parents and teachers in relationship with ADD and ADHD kids. NHA promotes positive behaviors and healthy self esteem with people of all ages.
Personal Power Tips	Sometimes all we need to make a change is the right information at the right time. This section offers some coaching on specific challenges. Maybe it's the right info at the right time for you.
Resources	Want more? This section provides recommended reading, listening, links, and for my clients - worksheets and forms I use in therapy.
