Bob works from an Existential Humanistic Perspective. This perspective involves the exploration of how you can live your life more consciously. This perspective allows for an unfolding process of discovering yourself. It assumes you are responsible for how you exist in the world and how you respond to the conditions and challenges presented to you.
In the exploration of your inner life, you find your unique identity. By listening to yourself in the moment, you discover who you are and find your place in the world. You are able to live with integrity and authenticity.
The results of this approach are a greater awareness of the wide range of choices we have, the ability to make effective decisions, an increased sense of personal power, and the discovery of deeper meaning in your life.
Bob works with individuals, couples, families, and groups providing life changing, in-depth therapy. Issues he focuses on include:
Existential Humanistic Psychotherapy leads to deeper engagement and intimacy with yourself and others.
Bob has been a therapist and consultant since 1973. He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a certified Clinical Supervisor, and a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.
