“Looking for positive connection? Want to reduce feelings of disappointment, negative patterns, or manage an affair or betrayal? I take pleasure in my life's work with a hopeful approach based on positive psychology and recent research about successful individuals and couples. I have a wide variety of experience and have been instructor at the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work and Family Therapy program. I am married to a Family Therapist, Sally R. Connolly, and we share mutual approaches and values in our work

I am a direct, problem solving therapist, freely share my opinion and suggestions, and will value your questions, feedback, and preferences regarding the way we work. I give careful attention to your strengths and individual resources, and prefer that as a more successful way of directing the therapy.

I usually find relationship skill focus is important with couples, as well as clearing the air of resentments and finding a fresh start place in the relationship. John Gottman's writing, as in THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES FOR MAKING MARRIAGE WORK, provides healthy and instructive information for motivated couples.”
