Introduction: I'm a trained and certified Relationships Specialist who coaches individuals and couples using a no-blame, stress-free approach. I explain how relationships fail and how clients can replace their current anger and confusion with peace and happiness. In addition to using powerful cognitive interventions, I guide clients into the benefits of practicing "loving language" instead of attacking their partners verbally. As a certified Anger Management Specialist, I go one step further and show clients how they can virtually eliminate anger from their relationships, so that there's no anger left to manage! My greatest enjoyment comes from seeing my clients change--in their language, their behavior, and their level of happiness. Along the way, they learn that they can take control of their contribution to their relationships, be loving and, just as important, that they are worthy of being loved themselves. I enjoy the sharing of our common humanity that results in the kind of love and belonging we all need.

If you want to improve your life and find solutions to happier, more joyful and fulfilling relationships, then Alvin is the coach that you need. He was able to demonstrate loving solutions. For example, his role plays focused on using loving language to overcome conflict and anger. In these sessions I was able to learn new skills that I could apply in my life on daily basis.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My sessions are different than the traditional once-a-week "chat" with a therapist. Rather, they form a monthly package that's presented in 4-week blocks, consisting of two 60 minute sessions per week as needed. It's not unusual for clients to work with me for several months in order to see the increase in peace and happiness they're looking for. My standard price for this "best value" package is $500 per month.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially, I like to learn as much as I can about the client's personal circumstances and challenges and who is involved in the client's relationships. I outline how relationships are supposed to work in accordance with our basic needs and why relationships go bad. The client is then able to see why previous strategies haven't worked. It's a bit like explaining to a trainee car mechanic first how an engine works and why things need repairing, before focusing on how to repair the defective parts. This approach is applicable to a variety of scenarios, including addictions, marital and pre-marital relationships, excessive anger, life crises such as divorce, job loss, or death of a loved one.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Personal training and certification by Dr. Greg Baer, MD, in his highly acclaimed "Real Love" approach have taught me how to help clients have happier and more peaceful relationships, and eliminate anger, rather than just manage it, for example. In addition, most relationship problems are made worse by unhelpful and unproductive language that often only serves to prolong the anger and ill-feelings. My college-level work in language and rhetoric coupled with lots of experience in conducting role plays, have proven invaluable in helping clients get the language right and feel comfortable doing so via the role plays.
