If you are seeking help with your significant other…
Kevin works with dating, pre-marital and married couples on deepening and strengthening their relationships. As individuals, we humans tend to look for ways to minimize or avoid risk and conflict in our lives, but relationships are inherently risky and full of conflict. Communication can be difficult within a relationship and creating closeness and intimacy is, by definition, risky (that’s why most of us don’t do either very well on our own!!!). Whether you are looking to start your relationship off on the right foot, you have experienced significant difficulty in your relationship or you just want to work hard to improve it, Kevin can offer you the time and space to focus on your relationship, the objectivity to see and hear things you haven’t been able to see in or hear from your partner, and the skills and training to guide you to a more fulfilling, satisfying, and resilient relationship.
If you are seeking help with your family…
Kevin offers parenting support that is respectful and effective. He doesn’t promise cheap techniques or magic phrases that will “change your child’s behavior instantly”. Instead, he coaches parents to disengage from hurtful conflict struggles and to make meaningful changes in the way they relate with their children using the values, beliefs, and traditions that are unique to each family.
Kevin also works directly with children and parents, and even with entire families. As a father of 3 sons, Kevin has a unique interest in working with fathers and sons on their relationships with each other, but works with many mothers and daughters as well. Kevin also has extensive experience with blended families, non-biological families and working with families experiencing divorce at all stages.
If you are seeking help for yourself or for a loved one…
Some forms of trauma – such as childhood abuse, severe neglect, accidents, and family violence – are obvious and can create considerable disturbances that require extensive treatment. Kevin offers short- and long-term traditional “talk therapy” as well as experiential techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) that offer deep healing from the effects of all types and degrees of trauma.
Most of us experience more subtle forms of trauma or have been affected by relationships or incidents that can create internal conflict through negative thoughts and emotions. We often find ways to “move away” from those unwanted thoughts and feelings in ways that can seem, at the surface, unrelated to the deeper root cause. If you or someone you love is dealing with feelings of anger, depression or anxiety or with a lost sense of purpose, legal trouble, or failing relationships, or have been called “controlling”, “obsessive”, “irrational” or “distant”, “cold” or “unavailable” – Kevin offers an approach that can heal what medications and other approaches all too often only dull or mask.
If you are in need of court-related services…
Kevin offers several court-related services including supervised parenting time, parent coordination, and parenting time evaluations. Again, he also works with adults and children throughout all stages of the divorce process.
