Benefits of my style of therapy include more:

• self-acceptance
  
• authenticity
• sense of peace
  
• skill in dealing with difficult emotions
  
• connection with others
• effective communication:
  
•      listening better
  
•      speaking directly and tactfully
  
  
•      and less:
  
• harshness toward yourself
  
• harshness toward other people
  
• stress and anxiety

I fit best with clients who:

• want to change how you operate
• want to feel more awake, alive, present, engaged in your life
• are willing to take the risk of changing 
• want to understand where problems come from and to work on a deep level
• want a working partnership with a psychologist—so we're working as a team, sharing leadership and power
• want to be more creative or expressive
• are straight or gay or both

I fit worst with clients:

• are doing this because someone else wants them to or who need a letter for someone
• want quick relief of symptoms through concrete advice without focus on causes
• have severe issues, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder; my clients tend to be high-functioning
• are under 18

  Some of the issues I often help people with:

• relationships, individually or as a couple
• being more aware of emotions; how best to deal with them
• becoming more passionate and energetic
• artistic expression, creativity
• narcissism, obsessive personality and other character styles
• cancer (I'm a prostate cancer survivor)
  
• sexual concerns
• depression and anxiety, viewed as symptoms of underlying patterns
• authenticity—being real with yourself and others
• self-acceptance
• identity
• divorce and other breakups
• communication
• assertiveness
  
• career direction
• retirement—regular, early and too-early
