Couples: My approach to couples counseling is unconventional and very different from the typical method of therapy, which can go on for years. Couples I work with typical make significant change and resolve problems in 4 to 12 weeks. We actually talk about the difference between masculine and feminine (which is rather taboo with most approaches). It is the elephant in the room, which, unacknowledged, can make change and understanding agonizingly slow. With this approach we also make clear the difference between a negotiated practical friendship (quite boring) and a relationship fueled by real love and passion beyond self-concern. Transition: Major life changes (religion, career or marriage) require a new way of looking at life. We typically have to remodel our philosophy of life and drop old ways viewing life. It can feel like standing on the edge of an abyss but it is also an exciting new adventure. It creates fear and excited anticipation. It is a new reality and an opportunity to live by what is actually our authentic nature. About me: As a man with rural roots and a family to support, I have worked as a general contractor, trucker, oil field hand, schoolteacher, horse trainer, working cowboy and, most currently, a psychotherapist. I am a man firmly planted in these seemingly incompatible worlds. I’m also a bit of an artist! My hobbies include photography and music.
