My clinical practice in general involves the delivery of sophisticated, pragmatic, and highly focused services designed to evaluate and then resolve the psychological or coping difficulties that occur across a broad array of diagnoses and problem areas. I employ the best evidence based intervention approaches and in general the psychotherapeutic orientation is both humanistic and cognitive behavioral in nature. Most diagnosable mental health problems and the adjustment difficulties of everyday life are problems created predominantly by faulty learning and the poor coping strategies that people employ in their attempts to manage difficulties with their interpersonal and other life adjustments. The treatment orientation which I employ is designed to meet the unique needs of the individual case but in general it involves restructuring the faulty thinking and empowering the person with replacing the faulty thinking with more adaptive and rational strategies and the teaching of new skills.
I also do life enhancement and performance coaching to enhance life stills of people in Australia, Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa. I work with high performance athletes and highly placed corporate executives to assist them in advancing their mastery of their emotional skills to help them to better perform in their sport, in the career path, and in their home lives as well. It is also the case that I coach everyday people to improve their wellness and fitness or to otherwise improve their everyday quality of life and relationships.
Finally, in my forensic practice I am hired by attorneys in cases that range from criminal law involving sexual assault, to mental retardation, to insanity, all the way up to post conviction death cases. In family law I specialize in high conflict cases involving alienation or estrangement. In personal injury cases I work with the range all the way up to brain trauma cases. I have worked on war crimes and other torture cases. I have worked on cases involving workplace discrimination and harassment. The list is vast and includes more than two thousand cases.
