If I had a dollar for every time, someone told me they wanted to get better at communicating…well, I’d have quite a few dollars. So, believe me when I say you are not alone when you share about feeling unheard or that it’s difficult to understand your partner. I believe that a majority of problems can be solved with proper communication, whether that is the words we speak or the nonverbals of our behavior. Language is the cornerstone of society, and understanding and properly wielding it allows one to experience life in a new and beautiful way.

Have you ever seen those tests on the internet where you look at a close-up of an image and try to guess what it is? Sometimes life is like that! We get so caught up in the details of the problem that we completely miss the bigger picture. I help my clients find a place where they can see themselves and their situation from a different angle and reexamine their strengths and problems. Sometimes change begins with something as simple as a different perspective.

Life sucks. It is also great. And now it’s tough again. Life is a paradoxical blend of so many emotions that it can often be too overwhelming. At these difficult times, we often resort to unhealthy behaviors and coping strategies to make it to the next day. While the happy and exciting days are certainly my favorite, they wouldn’t exist without the sad ones. If any of this resonates with you, I would love to help you find new and better ways to experience the full range of emotions as your true and happy self.

When not in the office, I am likely catching up on the latest shows and movies or a good podcast or book. I am also a lover of space, so I am probably reading up on an upcoming rocket launch or cosmic discovery or watching a meteor shower or satellite fly over the night sky. Whatever it is, I love nothing more than doing it with my wife and our little Yorkie puppy.
