Imagine sharing your most private thoughts and feelings, safely, and without risk, so that you get to know yourself more deeply. Neuroscience teaches us how emotions affect our behavior, how they are stored in the body, and how negative emotions can be healed. In my work, I utilize techniques that focus on the relationship and the feedback mechanisms between the mind and the body in order to promote deeper and more complete healing. I also help couples and families recognize patterns of behavior that contribute to misunderstanding, tension and conflict. My intention is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, welcoming and warm.
I make strong connections with children and adolescents because I am able to speak their language and meet them at their level. With children I utilize art, play, sandtray, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Adolescents learn to replace negative and limiting beliefs with positive beliefs about themselves.
In addition to extensive training, my work is also informed by many rewarding life experiences. I have been practicing and leading mindfulness meditation groups for over 30 years, served in the U.S. Navy, was a successful business executive and am a husband and a father who understands the joys and challenges of family life.

Mindfulness meditation is a practice of following the breath with awareness while also being aware of your body, your feelings, thoughts, and your environment. With this practice, you learn how to be with whatever comes your way, to accept life not with indifference but calmly and dispassionately. Learn how to manage stress, pain, illness, and the demands of everyday life.Improve your overall sense of well being, and reduce psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms such as high blood pressure.This practice is based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and other teachers .
