Clinical Practice

"The first thing in all progress is to leave something behind.
George MacDonald, writer"

Therapy is more than a cold, mechanical treatment process. It is a warm, genuine, caring interpersonal relationship based on objectivity and professionalism with the goal of rich transformation. People come to me with their confusion, insecurity, sadness, loss, anxiety, and struggles. They usually discover these things are not treated or sanitized - they are redeemed and traded upwards.

Coaching

"Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
Allen Saunders, writer and journalist"

Elvis had it right when he sang, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Thankfully we don’t have to travel solo. Everyone can learn, grow, and improve. But all of us need a support team. And every team has that coach you revere - the coach that kicks your a** and gives you enormous practical help and makes you believe. And in belief you discover who you were meant to be. Come believe alongside me.

Author

"After seeing thousands of patients in psychotherapy I am convinced that there is nothing more healing than being exposed to someone with a total commitment to being genuine and real."

Book

Nothing Left Unsaid is a memoir beautifully told in letters, revealing what it is like to have lived a life rich in authenticity and vulnerability. I decided to write this 50,000-word book as a collection of forty-seven letters written to all the instrumental people in my life. I wanted to provide inspiration to mentors, those seeking mentors, and anyone connected to the process of adoption.

Speaker

"I can become a person for whom ‘looking out for number one’ is not the framework of my life.
Dallas Willard, philosopher"

Ever listen multiple times to a public speaker and feel the sad sense of disconnect from being on the receiving end of what feels like is a charade of all knowing and highly impersonal blather. I aim to have any talk I give to an audience occur on a platform of authenticity, vulnerability, and humor. I want to win you over not just by technical content but by me. And win you over to what? Greater appreciation for the complexity and nuance of the topic at hand. As evidenced by you having many new questions.

"I could write a book about the importance of vulnerability or I can write a book that demonstrates it."

Fascinating. Deep. Inspiring. Readers of Nothing Left Unsaid will walk away with a newfound desire to reflect on life's most important relationships. My prayer is that many of us would emulate Joe's model - picking up a pen and sharing what is on our heart before we miss our chance.
