Introduction

I work with men and couples. With couples, I practice Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). I am certified in both. I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, my Masters of Science in the Management of Technology (M.B.A.) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and my Doctorate in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University. My doctoral sub-specialty was helping couples with the transition to parenthood. I have facilitated a number of new parents’ couples counseling groups, and I have been a regular guest speaker at various new mothers’ groups. My understanding of relationship and career issues is grounded in my five decades as a father, husband, brother, engineer, executive, entrepreneur, religious seeker, political activist and counselor. I am direct and collaborative. Working together, we can untangle the threads of your life. When you have clarity, your energy will settle, and you will act with purpose. I help couples understand each other, how their conflict cycle is rooted in their desire for connection, how they can step out of that cycle, and what they can do to get the understanding, love, and support they want.
