WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU REALLY LOOKED IN THE MIRROR? I’VE GOT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU AND IT’S PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

It’s 7:15am. You’re rushing out the door. Coffee in hand. Your spare hand is grabbing a hard boiled egg. Quick glance in the mirror. Oh no, that shirt looks wrinkled. And… are you kidding me? Look at that hair. Ugh. I’m going to be late. I don’t have time for this. You know the drill…. Continue reading…

CORONAVIRUS—IF YOU NEEDED AN EXCUSE, HERE IT IS. STOP, DROP, AND…

Coronavirus is real. It’s scary. It’s causing a lot of chaos and panic around the world and some real heartache to the families and friends of those who are watching loved ones get sick and in some cases, die.  I’m not writing about the physical realities of the coronavirus or the precautionary steps we should… Continue reading…

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP OF YOUR LIFE. YUP, YOU KNOW THE ONE.

Happy November! Yes, it’s here. Already. The end of the year fast approaching. For most of us, the next few weeks mean spending time with friends and family. Well-meaning, demanding, loving, judgmental, funny, selfish, caring friends and family. Yippee! I’m just joking. But only a little bit. The truth is that most of us are… Continue reading…

RELAXATION, IT TURNS OUT IS WAY MORE THAN JUST A LUXURY. IT’S ACTUALLY A BASIC NEED ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR HAPPINESS.

So, if I told you that you needed to take some time to relax, you’d probably just look at me with a sarcastic smirk on your face and say something like, “Sure, I’ll get right on that. I don’t have anything else to do right at the moment.” (And you might even bob your head… Continue reading…

ONCE UPON A TIME IN A LAND FAR FAR AWAY… ARE YOU TURNING ON THE ENDORPHINS OR FLOODING YOURSELF WITH NEVER ENDING RIVERS OF CORTISOL?

What’s your spin on life today? Specifically, your life. It’s your call. Really, seriously it is. Attitude is everything. I know, you’ve heard that one a gazillion times if you’ve heard it once. In fact, it’s one of those things that’s said so often that at some point it just plain old stops meaning anything…. Continue reading…

OH HELL, SOMEONE JUST PASS ME THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES AND A BOTTLE OF VODKA! GOLLUM’S BACK IN THE HOUSE.

I’ve got to have it. I need it. No, rewrite that. I neeeeeeeeed it. You know, that clingy gooey energy that slithers into your belly. It’ll go AWOL every now and then—sometimes even for a long time—and then bam! Here’s Johnny! It’s back again in all it’s splendor. Your very own personal resident Gollum. And… Continue reading…

NAVIGATING HIGHLY CHARGED EMOTIONAL WATERS—NOT THE EASIEST THING FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE SUPER SENSITIVE. HERE IS A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE HIGH WAVES.

We’re living in some super charged emotional times and navigating that kind of energy every day from family and friends and colleagues and the evening news and the pings and the tweets…. well, let’s just say, it can feel absolutely, totally and completely overwhelming. And then, just for good measure, throw into that frothing mix…… Continue reading…

YOU’RE SENTENCED TO 27,432 OF THEM A DAY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOURS?

Some say 20,000; some say 70,000; some say something in between so 27,432 is actually a conservative estimate. Let’s face it, whichever it is, it’s a big number; it’s a really really big number. You and I have somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day. And guess what? Most of those… Continue reading…

I DO THINGS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY

I’m not “just” a therapist who focuses on the impact your past has on your present, or “just” a coach who focuses on your present and future.

My holistic approach weaves coaching, therapy and positive psychology (the science of happiness) together for maximum impact, so you can start feeling real happiness now, even as you’re clearing out the negative issues and traumas that hold you back.

Whether you need a sounding board or an impartial view, help breaking out of entrenched habits that aren’t serving you anymore, or even deep healing around childhood trauma or some other spiritual, psychological and/or emotional wounding, you’re in the right place.
