Imagine Connection

My services and passion are connected.

Some of my areas of interests and specialties may seem totally disconnected.

Court-ordered parenting coordination, diagnosis of ADHD, conducting of immigration evaluations, testing for learning disabilities, and couples therapy sound like a smorgasbord of disconnected services.

At first blush, it does sound like it is all over the place. But after many years of education, practicing as a generalist, and teaching college courses, I can see the connection between all of my services and my passion.

Can you imagine a better life?

Imagine a life of peace and harmony. Imagine feeling fulfilled in your relationship and at work.

Imagine feeling like you are a part of something bigger than yourself, while leaving something behind about which you can be proud.

Imagine not feeling drained at the end of every day.

It is about connecting your life’s journey.

We must begin with the end in mind while appreciating the entire journey and knowing from where you came and where you want to end up.

They are all connected. If you know who you are and what value you want to bring to the world, you can make appropriate decisions about your actions.

If you know where you want to end up, you can adjust your behaviors and parenting styles accordingly.

If you know the child that you are parenting, you can use methods that work for that child, rather than continuing to chase your tail.

My approach begins with exploration of your connections.

My goal is to offer that connection to the people with whom I work.

We begin by exploring and diagnosing the issues you may be seeing in your child. Is it ADHD? Is it autism? Is it “my child just being a difficult teen”?

Individually, we explore what it is that is important to you. Once we determine that, we can establish the kind of world you want for your child and spouse. Along with those pieces, we define the long-term goals you have for yourself.

Developing and implementing a plan results from exploration.

Then through the work with you and your family, partner, spouse, etc., we devise a plan. We work together and explore what it is that you want to teach your child or to communicate to your significant other.

And then we look at how your plan is being played out in your day-to-day life.

Through family counseling and parent training or couples therapy, we can hone in on the behaviors that are helping or hindering, so couples and parents get back on the same page.

This allows us to break down the barriers that are standing in your way, whether they are self-inflicted or put there by others.

Let’s start making the right connections for your life.

The way I see it, it is all connected. My passion is to help people leave the world a little better than the way they found it. I want to help people who want to raise children who are going to be awesome adults, contribute meaningfully to society, and not be annoying and self-centered.

I want your children to be adults who are not selfish and entitled.

It is time to imagine something different.

Indeed, you may say I’m a dreamer, but I do hope that someday you’ll join us.

Imagine health. Imagine happiness. Imagine a new life. It starts here.
