I received my doctorate at the University of California in 1982, and have over 30 years of experience providing Psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. My particular interests include working with children-of-divorce, step families, couples (Including non-traditional couples) and parenting issues.
Research shows that the quality and character of the relationship between therapist and the client is the most important and powerful aspect of the process. I work to establish a warm and effective working relationship with my clients so that we can work together, in collaboration, to relieve suffering and solve problems.
I take my work seriously
My grandmothers and mother-in-law lived well into their nineties and beyond, but my father and grandfathers all died before reaching elderhood. So, I approached senior status with ample helpful examples of females aging gracefully to guide me into uncharted territory, but no male examples. I’ve had to search for information and watch for guides to help me. I’m now old enough to be a guide myself.
As a Life-Stage Transition coach, I provide coaching services for individuals, and couples navigating the final stage of life – retirement, aging, and death. My grandmother's words, “You’ll understand when you’re older,” used to stir up frustration in me. But now, I've come to realize that the perspective from the end of a journey is vastly different from the one at the beginning. It's not about one being right and the other wrong, but about the unique strategies needed to navigate each stage of life. I bring this understanding and empathy to my clients, making them feel heard and valued in their unique journeys.
Relationship coaching enhances marital, family, friendship, and employer/employee relationships. Life stage and transition coaching, on the other hand, is about guiding you through the challenges that come with each stage of life - childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, full adulthood (development of family and career), and aging adult. It's also about learning to navigate gender issues at each stage. I work to instill hope and optimism in my clients about their own relationships and life stages.
and enjoy it. I do it primarily for satisfaction and secondarily to make a living. I do my best to help clients feel comfortable and to achieve success. I don't view clients as objects of treatment, but as people, hoping to benefit from my help.
I have recently decided not to renew my psychologist license and to continue my work as a Relationship Coach
