Bio/Experience

Probably the best way to get a sense of me is to read some of my articles and check out my personal blog.

After that, if you are interested in doing individual, couple or group coaching with me, sign up for the free teleclass, "Introduction to Relationship Coaching ."

While you are considering whether or not to do any of these, here's my version of the standard bio/experience statement:

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 21 years in South Portland, Maine. I have published over 800 articles on marriage and couple relationships. I am an occasional columnist for "Marriage" magazine and write regularly for Family Information Services. I created this internet site and write all its text.

Before becoming a psychotherapist I was a member of teacher-education faculties at state universities in New York, California and Illinois. Way back I was a public-school teacher (6th grade).

I am a Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. I am certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors and licensed in Maine as a clinical social worker. I am also a practicing coach. I have completed the foundation coaching program offered by the Coach Training Institute.

I have a B.A. degree from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, an M.A. degree from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.S.W. degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and a PhD in Education from The Johns Hopkins University.

I have first-hand experience with many of the issues of marriage, divorce, single-parenthood, remarriage and stepfamily life encountered by the people with whom I do relationship counseling and coaching.

When my wife Joyce and I first met, we were both single parents raising young children by ourselves, Joyce with two kids and I with three. We have now been married 22 years. Our five children are grown and are off doing their own couple learning - as we continue to do.
