Professional statement

*Sean is currently only accepting private pay clients. This allows him to keep a small client base of no more than 12 people, so he is free to offer follow-up treatment, coaching services, analyses, and consistent communication for optimal results.

Sean has utilized his life experiences to develop the loving awareness and wisdom to help others navigate through difficult and challenging situations. His 35 years experience mentoring, coaching, educating, and facilitating give him the capability to deeply understand and relate to others' needs; as well as the skill set to approach them in a style unique to their own personality and perspective. His own individual deeply psychoanalytic work over the past 30 years has opened him to the depths of the human condition. This gives him an exquisite edge in helping others understand the core of their own suffering, and facilitating their internal navigation toward individual freedom.

Sean specializes specifically in helping people remove obstructions to their experience of the true substance of their inner faith in and relationship to their Creative Source. This in turn facilitates the process of individuation--living and expressing one's true nature while removing the layers that obstruct and obscure it.

Sean's comprehensive, custom treatment program includes full 60 or 90 minute TeleHealth sessions, as well as necessary correspondence, coaching, inspiration, and follow-up in between sessions.

Relational Therapy: An approach centered on your personal well-being, growth, development, individual, and social empowerment;

Personal Coaching: Assistance individually, relationally, or vocationally;

Structural Analysis Reading & Interpretation: Learning to be your own authority and to make decisions as your authentic self;

Session Homework: To more effectively integrate and put into practice what you have learned each time you meet.

If this feels like a good fit, please contact Sean for a complimentary consultation.


Message to clients

Are you here because you are seeking a more permanent change? A breakthrough, perhaps? An integrated understanding or experience that helps you feel more whole? More attuned within yourself? More aligned with your Creative Source?

You may suffer from what has happened to you, and how you have been misperceived or mistreated. You may be here to reclaim your own power and authentic sense of self. Certainly, you are here for answers and solutions.

I can be quite helpful in guiding your process to facilitate the reclaiming of your integrity and dignity. I have been known to help others navigate their own life path, assisting them in removing the obstacles toward understanding, awareness, and authentic self-expression. As an individual and relational specialist, I also work with family and environmental systems to help you improve your relationship with yourself, others, and your surroundings.

I work with no more than 10-12 clients per week, which keeps my quality of attention at the highest level for your care. Should you choose to pursue this partnership, we would work together to help alleviate the symptoms of suffering (anxiety, depression, insecurity, frustration, hopelessness, and despair) that are clear indications and warning signs of your separation from your authentic creative source of self.
