About My Clients

I help couples improve communication, heal from past wounds, and achieve healthier relationships. I challenges all my clients to dream big, rethink assumptions, and succeed beyond their expectations. Most couples leave therapy with a more healthy, satisfying, and emotionally connected relationship than they EVER had before. I also make therapy fun, creatively utilizing humor and occasionally “wild” expressions to facilitate the specific environment for each person to grow, heal, and connect.

My Background and Approach

My clients achieve high levels of success through the use of my integral self, as well as my integration of the two most researched and validated forms of couple therapy: Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), knowledgeable in many different theories and approaches to therapy, thinking, and “being.” I am a Systems-Thinking Advocate, Futurist, and MBTI Consultant. Additionally, I'm a Professional Member and Designated Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), Pennsylvania Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (PAMFT), and Lifetime Member of the ICEEFT (International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy). Utilizing transcontextual & systems thinking, I synthesize the best from hundreds of theories including Developmental & Transpersonal Psychologies, Personality, Family Systems, Spirituality, Cybernetics, and more.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I also assist several local and regional organizations, communities, and government entities, and am part of several collectives of people utilizing systems-thinking to bridge divides, reduce the systemic cycle of poverty, revitalize rural and small-town communities, and plant seeds for re-thinking and re-imagining patterns and belief systems that no longer serve people well. I'm constantly on the move, interacting with people and helping to facilitate and encourage successful systems. I have prior experience ranging from pastoring and educating (across the life span) to lifeguarding, Wilderness First Responder-ing and school bus driving. I even operated a successful tie-dye business for several years. In addition to being our foremost couple therapy expert, I'm also honored to be the past clinical director and current CEO/CVO (Chief Visionary Officer) of Rooted Relational Therapy, guiding our “learning organization” as we grow and adapt to an ever-changing world.
