Biography
After growing up an only child in upstate New York, I got a bachelor's and a master's degree in psychology. I spent
six years in the Air Force before returning to graduate school in the area of child development and family
relations, eventually earning my Ph.D. and entering academic life. I have practiced psychotherapy and training in
South Carolina since 1981, and supervision since 1987. My specialties are couples' therapy, systemic/experiential
work with adults, and work with young children and teenagers. My current effort in the training and professional
development I offer is to link the evolving integration of my work in systemic, body, and depth therapies with the
changing spiritual character of secular culture. My broad expertise comes from my experience as a preschool teacher
and university professor, study with some of the best Master Therapists in the world, lessons learned from clients,
and the sobering humility that comes from living the roles of son, husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, and
runner. Only my wife, my running shoes, and Our Little Lucy live with me now.
