Professional Interests and Specialties:
A client said of my work, "You take the essence of what I've spoken
and give it back to me, always with respect and with new revelation.
Your answers frequently surprise me, and give me genuinely new insight
into the problem. Sometimes you've suggested I do the very opposite of
what I've been trying. You emphasize solutions that have lasting value
in the pattern of my life."
