TRANSFORMATIVE INSIGHTS

Welcome to my website

The topics and themes that I explore in this space emanate from my many years in the helping professions as an accredited counselor, mediator, restorative justice specialist and certified relationship coach.

My writings also derive from living a life — navigating and, at least so far, surviving the many ups and downs that existence on this planet delivers.

The themes that I write about generally center on inner change, interpersonal relationships, conflict transformation, codependency and addiction recovery — all very much part of the human condition, at least in my observation. Sometimes those themes are explored separately and sometimes they are interwoven.

My wish is that you find my writings a source of inspiration and enjoyment.
