Problems in the Home: Q&A Sessions
Join an intimate weekly conversation with up to 4 peers and a proven Catholic resource for people needing guidance in areas such as anxiety, worry, teen confusion, addictions, and improving relationships with a spouse or children.
I will help you pursue intelligent, effective strategies for personal and relational wellbeing that are congruent with strict fidelity to God.
If the available slots below do not fit your needs or schedule I will be creating other Q&A groups as well. I call them Councils of Peers to avoid confusion with group therapy.
I changed careers in 2009 to pursue clinical psychology and combine up-to-date research and practice in trauma recovery, anxiety, and relationships with my rich history of faith-based mentoring. Now I'm moving beyond the confines of American healthcare to share the knowledge I have sifted and integrated. Plus I include my fascination with philosophy, theology, art, comedy, and the constant messaging we all experience. Come explore for answers in a context of expertise and peer support too!
Who These Meetings Are For
Is individual therapy truly the best approach to grappling with the challenges confronting you? Perhaps our culture needs to rethink that. I believe that many, many individual gifts and resources in society are going underutilized. When I bring my areas of expertise to a small group of intelligent peers with their own areas of expertise, we make amazing discoveries together, and each benefits from the mutual support as well. For the cost of a typical healthcare co-pay you can transform your life -- with answers, education, and clarifications in real-time.
I pursued my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at age 39, more than a decade ago! Take advantage of my abundant later-life education and years of mentoring and practical business experience.
I trained at VA Medical Centers at UCSD and Honolulu, and worked with military Veterans from 2014-2017 and 2019-2021, with an emphasis on PTSD from combat, sexual assault, and other interpersonal trauma. And addressed plenty of anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and more.
I came from advertising and love brevity and efficiency. My doctoral dissertation and subsequent hospital program improvement project demonstrated high success rate of a single-session 2-hour intervention for trauma recovery, even with people with psychosis or addictions.
I have done abundant couples counseling and restored relationships between parents and adult children as well.
Since my earliest clinical placement in 2012 I have been showing that there is no Pandora's Box to fear. It's more like a cluttered attic that many people can learn to help others with – and benefit in the process.
Help yourself and others get back the wonderful internal God-given resources that are currently being depleted.
