Requests for advice about your personal matters are professional business matters that require my general or clinical consultation, or spiritual direction and require an honest donation in gratitude to this website. Please note that I reserve the right to use any general question on The Messenger blog portion of my website.

To keep your questions private, within the limits of confidentiality, send a minimum payment of $45 to this website. Please note that this amount is the same amount as a 15-minute phone consultation. You may receive a faster, more personalized response through the use of a phone consultation.

As a matter of security, do not send attached files.

And, please your own sake, either manually type the following subject line into the subject section of your e-mail window, or copy and paste it into the subject area of the window.

I began this website out of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and I continue it out of sorrow for the wounds inflicted on the Sacred Heart of Jesus of-and disdain for-the true Faith, and a personal promise that I made to God.

My motive is healing, and everything on this website have been made available to all, free of charge, so that others may learn from my writings, in the hope that integrity and real love might flourish.

I have incurred a lot of time associated with this public service. No one pays me for any of this. So, if you have learned anything from this website, and you would like to say “thank-you” for what you have learned, you may do so by sending a donation in gratitude, even if it’s just a few dollars to help off-set my costs.

We often have to learn the hard way. Effective psychotherapy requires that psychotherapists often need to offer services in a way that may seem “counter” to what clients expect or want from us, in order for them to learn and heal. Psychotherapy is hard work, but it is worth it.

There’s a part of me that wishes that the unconscious wasn’t such a maze and that I could more easily resolve all of the pain in the world. But that’s not my job and it misses the point.

If you need further help, you may learn more by reviewing my office policies.

Would you like permission to reproduce material from my website? Please understand that your desire in itself is a declaration that you have received benefit from my work. Therefore, it is fitting that you send a minimum donation in gratitude of $45 before I will consider your request for permission.

Please note that academic tradition allows, short, properly cited quotes in academic papers to be used without seeking permission from the author or publisher.

Please also note that if you intend to use the information on this website in a business setting (e.g., school, hospital, private practice, business website, blog with advertising, continuing education units, etc.), I will require a royalty to be paid in proportion to the financial gain expected to result from your project. As Saint Paul said, “A worker deserves his [her] pay.” (1 Tim 5:18). The amount of this royalty can be negotiated after I receive your initial donation and the details of your request via email.

Finally, please be sure that the information that you would like to reproduce is actually within my ability to authorize. If it is copyrighted information, you will need to contact the original author or publisher and adhere to their Permissions Policies.

I do not accept advertising on this website. All requests will be marked as SPAM and deleted.
