On January 1, I will be shifting the structure of my work. I will be a Life and Executive Coach after having spent 37 years as a Clinical Social Worker. I will continue to work with families, couples and individuals. I will continue to help people derive more satisfaction from their interpersonal relationships, help children do better at home and at school, help adolescents and their families be more caring and competent, help people who feel depressed and anxious generate more creative satisfaction in their jobs and lives, and help people gain more control of their use of drugs, alcohol and food.

My clinical work, as well as my teaching, has always been characterized by an emphasis on positive communication patterns. I care more about where we are going and how we will create solutions, and less on why there are problems. I will now do this with an even stronger emphasis on goals and strengths. No longer will I be even peripherally concerned with “mental health” issues, or diagnoses. No longer will I need to consider the terms of contracts with insurance companies.

Now I will be able to focus more strongly on clients' personal, professional and aesthetic aspirations.

Meetings will be proactive. Clear goals will be become apparent. Clear direction, with follow up exercises, will be a major focus. In addition to personal meetings, phone calls and emails will be strongly utilized. Fees will be negotiated on a monthly basis; I will communicate with clients as needed; daily emails, for example, may well be used in our early work. I will be able to expect hard productive work from clients.

Please call or email to find out more.
