Staying sane in an increasingly crazy, stressful world. Quite a challenge! My vision of therapy is solution-focused, goal-oriented. I am your thinking partner -- in your corner, always. We discuss your problems in the here-and-now, with reference to your background and your childhood only when you need it. We seek out your strengths; you have them, no matter what you believe. Together we target self-defeating behaviors, rather than focusing exclusively on psychopathology. I have 35+ years experience helping clients, have written 2 books, thousands of articles and hosted radio shows and podcasts. Let's get moving! Therapy with me is solution-focused and goal-oriented. We spend time discussing your problems in the here-and-now, with reference to your background and your childhood only when relevant. Traditional, conventional therapy tends to be about what’s wrong, what are the symptoms and what can someone else do for you to relieve you? My approach, in contrast, tends to be about what you've done right (even sometimes), what your track record is, what are your strengths, what are your potentialities and how can you build on them. My goal is not to label you, but to lift you up. I am licensed in Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Virginia and South Carolina with 37 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & family conflicts. I have authored two books (Bad Therapy Good Therapy: And How to Tell the Difference; and Grow Up, America!); five booklets; and thousands of articles, as well as a self-help column, "Life's a Beach," published in Gannett newspapers since 2005. My primary goal is to help you help yourself. I will guide and coach you, not tell you what to do. We'll reason and think our way to what makes sense together.
