My Approach to Helping

I work with a wide range of people and bring more than 40 years experience to this work. I take a depth psychology approach based on Process Oriented Psychology. This method includes dreamwork, work with body symptoms, relationship work, sex therapy, family therapy, addictions work, work with altered and extreme states, bodywork, movement work, and mediation and spiritual work all integrated into a fluid way of following the person’s process. I have helped develop Process oriented family therapy, sex therapy, and many other aspects of this method. We will work in a way that integrates mind body spirit and also world issues. I am the author of 11 books including the Dance of Sex, Families that Dream Together, Love Power and Wisdom, and Healing History.

I work with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations. Some of my specialities include relationship work, sex therapy, integrating spiritual experiences, working with money and work issues, working with stress and anxiety, and working with trauma that is based on both personal and collective issues.

I believe in people and their process and know that if we carefully follow nature together positive sustainable change often occurs. Together we can work towards healing and move beyond healing to increasing freedom and meaning in life.
