About this web site
This site is about Professional Counseling, how it works, and how I help people find solutions to their life problems. I have a special interest in helping people become more comfortable with counseling. In some articles I try to help people understand how counseling works. Other articles are intended to help people see how counseling can be both a safe and life changing experience.
About me
On a personal note, counseling is my third career and thankfully one that draws on my extensive life experience. My first career was in engineering and I learned a lot about how things work. My second career was as a middle manager in manufacturing and I learned a lot about how organizations work and how people work together within organizations. My third career, professional counselor, is the one I love. I am fascinated with helping clients learn more about themselves and what works for them, as well as what doesn’t work for them that they want to change. A constant thread through these three careers is my interest in solving problems, understanding complex systems, and being helpful to people around me.
My favorite pet is a cat… great for apartment or condo living.
