After twenty four years of clinical psychotherapy practice, eight years of college and university teaching, academic counseling, co-authoring international textbooks, and doing research has given me the opportunity to understand relationships on both a large and small scale.
Being married with two college-age sons deepens my knowledge and understanding of interpersonal relationship dynamics.
