Do you ever think... "I feel like I don't have any control over my emotions", or " I don't understand why I sometimes hurt the people I love", or "I feel so stressed out much of the time". Many of us want to feel better, but do not know how to use positive coping strategies to change our lives for the better. I have experience in helping with those difficult life challenges. I can help guide a person towards a more fulfilling and stable life by using a variety of techniques (CBT; DBT; or EMDR).

What if, instead of managing or running away from your suffering, you could heal the wounds at the core of it to the root? I have helped people do just this in my decades of work as depth psychotherapist, workshop leader, author, and speaker. In addition to working one-to-one with clients, I use my writing and speaking to help people understand how our own wounds and healing affect our world’s wounds and healing. Along with my first book, “Power Abused, Power Healed,” I recently published a new book, “How Did We Get Here?” exploring the real roots of the heart-breaking condition of our world, and how we can help heal those roots.
