"Using Gestalt as my base, I caringly and respectfully facilitate rediscovery of lost 'parts' of yourself. Once you recover these 'expressions' you can update them as needed, and own them as additional tools to more elegantly and satisfyingly deal with others. Our work is familiar, yet transformational, helping you evolve into a more competent and fulfilled person. Look forward to adventure, and sometimes even a touch of humor while on your way to a better YOU."
Skilled in Gestalt Therapy, Relationship Counseling, Family Systems, Anger Management and Mediation, Dream Work, Spiritual Integration issues and Transformational Life Coaching, with training experience in Adolescent and Group Counseling... Jeff frequently utilizes a whiteboard during his work to creatively illustrate the internal dynamics of the client's gestalt process, as well as connecting through a variety of life coaching styles, primarily the Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Bradshaw and Rational Emotive methods. He regularly confers with the institute's Director, Dr. Tina Thomas, for insights with his client work.
Jeff has recently developed an app to help teach concepts to better resolve disagreements. Some of his writing was published in a self-help book called "How to Achieve a Heaven on Earth".
